GTM Performance Engineering VQ45VHR-Our Journey to The 1000 HP and Beyond

Wow, long thread... Also, man, that was a gutsy first post before the build even started. I guess there's no questioning your confidence in your own abilities.

Sounds like you're close. Sub'd for final results.

From the beginning, I've tried to understand that builds like this take awhile and that being an innovator for the whole 370Z community takes time... but when you say things like ^ and it's been nearly a month since that comment, I feel like you're kind of digging your own grave. This is one of the reasons why there are so many "haters".

I'm anxious to see the build complete, but saying comments like the above and not sticking to them just adds fuel to the fire for the rest of the haters.

It's as simple as "Put-up or Shut-up"
I am sure many are curious as to why he would put that in his sig, when his car hasn't accomplished anything?
I am also sure that if the "WhiteDragon" had hit those #'s, GTM would be posting up on every board that they sponsor.

So lets be real here.. There is no hating going on... Simply searching for the truth, between the hype. And all I am seeing is a bunch of smoke and mirrors.
(funny, seen this all before)

If you really care so much about someone else build why don't you call sam and ask? Instead of bugging why you have this , why this? Get over it . It's done when it done.

First of all you guys suck at reading time and time again.... I have told you that results will be posted when everything is finished... GTM has been working hard to make this a reproduce able kit and components.... so if I tell you we arent posting results until its COMPLETELY finished it means just that!!!! We are testing different versions of each component! We went threw 4+ lower intake manifolds and the last two weeks has been trying to come out with a symmetrical fuel rail system. 2150cc Injectors are not small and the entire fuel rail has to be assembled on the bench before being installed... that is the only way they will go in and mount up correctly. You guys act like you know everything about this build when you are far from the truth and have very little knowledge on what we have been doing for the past few months! So take a chill pill sit back and enjoy the new products that are being made available to you guys when this is all complete

This car could have been done last year... however, when Sam asked me if I would be willing to allow him to make production parts from my car I said ok... 6 extra months is no problem for me however some of you are all wigged out over this

We have had a delay this week when one of the key team members has gone ill this week and we hope to begin working on the car again on friday.

I always laugh at how people handle ****.

They bitch if the parts from the build aren't mass produced, and when someone is chill enough to let that extra time be taken on their build, they harass them....

I want 1200 yesterday!

wheee!

mad props to Bullitt and GTM for enduring this "roasting". Can't wait for the end result and benefits to the Z community at large! Heck! I'd be happy with a VVEL tune!

Mike and Sam have continued to be the pioneers for R&D and aftermarket parts for the Z. I'm sure the haters would rather we get crappy parts that don't optimize performance. Frankly, Mike and Sam don't want this build to be a one off, they want to pave the way for any person brave and rich enough to want to follow.

Most of the haters won't be able to use any of the new parts. As they don't drive 370's at all, makes me wounder why they would give a sh!t how long it takes.

Hater is what keep the forum going and trolls. People dont understand. No one else will do a build like this for the Z. Im still excited to see the results and the new prodcuts coming out. Hope the build goes well.

AFAIK, custom fuel rails to support the lower manifold adapter for the VR38 intake plenum, but I guess it will also support the larger injectors for Mike's build. Unless these fuel rails are a one size fits all solution, my car won't be needing it for the Stage II @ 6.5 PSI and VR38 intake plenum.

Since I'm in a bit of a crunch and cannot afford technical challenges beyond the TT setup, I'm going to hold off the VR38 plenum project for awhile. I was really hoping for something similar to Mike's setup with BOVs located in the engine bay.
