Supercharger plus tuning with eliminate anything Nismo did from factory, the exhaust might help versus the standard coupe exhaust but not by much.

Ok I thought it might be just the tune.

Thanks for the clarification.

I have not driven the TT 370z yet, need to ask JB.
I think the torque on the TT comes in a bit later, peak TQ, which is why people say the SC has the better bottom power but of course the TT will win at the top.

Our shop demo car is running on 91 gas tune making anywhere from 388 RWHP to 429 RWHP depending on ambient air temp .

i wish gtm had a pay plan or a credit card company to pay for this. i dont think i can ever save enough to buy this outright.

they probably would get a ton more sales if they had a financing option for the whole turbo kit + install

Ah, yes that's what I wanted to know.

You guys are right about TT... it's hard not to keep it below 3k. I'm just being conservative with my driving habits in N/A form

And/Or group buy on both the TT kit and SC kit.

oh i forgot to state how clean the GTM SC setup is a well...you pop the hood and everything looks stock except the intake pipes which look exactly like a cold air setup..super clean!!..the rotrex charger sits in front of the motor and low..it has its own oil cooler as well..i prefer this to the Stillen setup which sits high on top of the motor..besides lowering the center of gravity we all know that heat rises...Sam's setup is optimal imo.

Can anyone post some videos, or make some, that accurately portray the recirc. valve and opperating noise of this SC kit? Interior/Exterior. IE: Driving around regular, spirited, WOT shifting? All the videos I've seen, even TT setups on dynos, you can never hear that rush of air sound(BOV and recirc setups), only exhaust and the noise of the rollers.

Forgot I had seen that video. That satisfies the interior noise. Wonder how it sounded during all that from the outside.
