All of our Supercharger kits are available in two forms. The tuner kit form, so the professional and the end user have the flexibility of choosing what ever fuel and engine management they may desire and feel comfortable using. The second option being a complete kit including fuel and engine management solutions. With that being said, GTM will also offer an extensive range of fuel system and engine management modules to go with our Supercharger kits. |

Is it possible to say the price increase now that prices are posted?
And does this mean that we'll have the full press release out soon? Or is that still in the works? Still wanna see justification that these don't work with LTHs other than just comments.

They do work with LTHs, you just might see slightly less power as seen on some stage 1 SC kits when installed on a car with LTHs. However, there are no stage 2 SC 370Zs out there yet with LTHs so the additional flow from the larger compressor might mean there won't be the loss in power.

I fully expect to see that if it can be worked to make these fit to see even more power than with stock headers.

^maybe if you used a smaller pulley to get your psi back but without tuning the cam timing or shoving more air in you'll struggle to make more power with headers. Our overlap is soo bad for FI that a restrictive exhaust is actually helping to keep the air and fuel in the chamber.

Less power? I made 400whp which is just a few below Sam and I was running in 100+ degree weather.
The LTH in the end showed no loss in PSI or power, which means if we see VVEL being useful I would say the LTH will be the best bargain for a SC setup like every other car ever manufacture running a SC. In the end, you want to lose PSI with the LTH and be able to hold the power level which is what happens when a system is fully tuned.

In a more realistic answer, no one knows. It all comes down to software for tuning, hardware needed (do we need a stand alone ECU), etc.

I know that's been the comment, then how do you explain it working with the Stock headers when they have a heat shield around them, and if you look at the Stock headers next to the FI LTH's they have the same profile and pipe routing... So It just begs the question for some sort of explanation...

I guess we will find out in a few weeks. I won't be going with LTH but I will post some installed photos if no one beats me to it.
