What MOD next? TT or SC?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting another MOD for my Z. So far, the only MOD I've made are my exhaust. I got the HKS exhaust with custom test pipes.

Default What MOD next? TT or SC?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting another MOD for my Z. So far, the only MOD I've made are my exhaust. I got the HKS exhaust with custom test pipes. What MOD should I do next? I was thinking of getting the Greddy Twin Turbo as my first choice but the Supercharger sounds tempting as well. I've not gotten intakes because if I get the TT or SC, intakes are already provided. Should I do this MOD? Or should I do other MOD first? If so, what? And if i get the TT or SC, what other MOD should be included. (There are no race tracks here but there are street drag races).

Thanks in advance

Before everyone else says it: do a search and read through the many posts in this forum and then you will probably have a good idea of the virtues of the various FI mods available for 370Zs.

Twin-Turbo > Supercharger

What are your power goals?

I use my car daily and would also want a little more power in it. Most of my friends drives Evo's and when we're having some fun, it's pretty hard for me to catch up. I don't want to overtake them but want some power that can keep up with them. I also think about the TT as it will cost a lot for maintenance in the near future.

If you just want a bump in power then 400 whp with an SC should be good. TT will give more but also cost more and has some heat issues associated with it. You may want to buy an oil cooler first. Either way you are going to need one.

What about the Stillen s/c? I'm leaning towards the s/c now. I know the TT will give me headaches one day.

I didnt really think the evo's would be faster than the Z... figuring they are modded as well with higher boosts?

Yup, they are all modded and has got high boost. Their turbo gives the extra push they need.

The oil cooler is separate. Also might need some gauges. you already have the exhaust so you wont need much more for the performance side of it. There is a ton of info on here about the Stillen and GTM SC kits.

remember that stuff WILL break, its only a matter of time. 10k for a turbo is great, however you WILL end up spending more than that fixing things. a TT installed will prob run you are 15k, however plan on spending much more down the road as stuff begins to break and things need to be replaced.

same thing goes witht the SC

If there was such a thing as an immediate need it would definitely be an oil cooler and if not AT a twin disk clutch to take the punishment

I went through the same process and decided on the SC. 400 WHP rocks in our cars and the kit was cheaper, simpler, and easier to install than the twins (although they are awesome too). Find some good looking women and ask them which is better, the Evo or the Z. Believe me, they'd rather ride back to your place in the Z than go to the grocery store with the Evo guys!

That's cool. I know the twins are awesome. But money is an issue too. And i have got to agree with you with the women. Well said! Haha
