How are you all liking your TT 370Z's?
It's been about a year since the kits came out. How is everyone's car holding up (oil usage, blown engine, other blown/broken parts)? Any driveability issues? Are you glad you did it, or is it somehow "rough" around the edges? Has the car tolerated the extra power well, or are things getting rattly? How many miles on yours since the TT?
Anyone track their car, how has the engine, etc. held up to that? Is the tune issue finally fixed in the upper RPM's, where even on a smoothing factor of 5 it looked like a radiowave still? Last edited by ImportConvert; 12-29-2010 at 07:59 AM. |

Mustang Dyno: 455whp / 332 tq @ 8 pounds 93octane.
Miles after install/tune: 800 After tweaking everything and getting everything done right, I can say that I'm pretty happy with the outcome of my build. Oil temperatures hover in the 180's with daily driving in the cool weather we have now in Florida. If I get on it, It does not pass 200 degrees. Then again, I have two big oil coolers, and running about 8 qts of oil. There's no rattling or bangings coming from anywhere because of the extra power. That really has to do with who installs your kit and the experience they have with doing this type of work. The BIGGEST thing is who tunes your car, and how they do it as well. Luckily, I have HP logic a couple of hours away, and Jack is pretty good at what he does. I have no traction on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and sometimes even 5th at high rpms. I absolutely need tires, but that'll come soon. I'm happy with the fact that I did the build. The performance the car has now compares to 100K + cars, (price range.) The car has a sleeper look to it too, no one would ever know is TT unless I get on it... Hope this info helps...

From a daily driven standpoint, does it improve the fun to drive factor? I'm assuming the ECU tweaks improved throttle control, so I wonder if it feels faster and is more fun to drive casually.
I plan to drive my car from Houston back to KS (~10hr drive) after getting everything done from Baker Tuning in June. The plan is for 5-6 PSI on low setting, and up to 8 psi on the high setting. So there will be plenty of footage.
