Default GTM turn key supercharger kit questions

I was hoping someone could help me get an idea of how much I should plan to save.

The GTM stage 1 kit is about $6400. I expect the install would be around 15 hours?? So $1500 assuming 100/hr. Is that too little? Add an extra 700 for the tune?

This is about $8600. Im guessing a new clutch is a necessity so add $1000-$2000 for the clutch plus labor. So is it safe to assume that I could go FI for about $10k??

Btw I already have a 25-row oil cooler, Fast Intentions exhaust and high flow cats....

Since you already have a 25 row oil cooler and exhaust already, the only thing you need is the supercharger and installation. We offer a package on our website that is $8,364.46 for our Supercharger, One-Step Colder HKS Spark Plugs, incidentals (gaskets, fluids etc.), installation and in-house tuning. Here is the link to the package: GTM Motorsports*::*POWER PACKAGES*::*GTM 500*::*GTM 370Z VQ37VHR 500HP SUPERCHARGERD PACKAGE

You do not need a clutch with our Supercharger Kit. We've tested the stock clutch to 550whp and 450+ ft-lbs of torque at the wheels. The stock clutch holds a lot of power.

We have a variety of Power Packages on our website, all of which include parts, labor and tuning. If you plan on having someone local to you do installation, you don't need a custom tune for our kit to perform flawlessly out of the box. All you need is our Turn-Key Kit with our tune. Keep in mind that unlike other companies that offer "tunes" with their kits, every tune we write is specific to the car that will be running it. We factor in the modifications the car has, the fuel it will be running and the climate as well.

I can claim the clutch does not need to be upgraded, installed at 19k miles and just over 46k now and the clutch is starting to go. It will burn up fast with how I drive lately but can't argue with what I got out of it.
$10k is probably a good estimate of what you will spend on kit, install and some extras. Just remember not everything goes as plan so have some extra money for those "oops" moments.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Good to know that the stock clutch can handle that power level.

Mike, that price tag is including the install cost, is that correct? I live on the east coast so I will definitely need to have a local shop do the install. How would the "canned" tune that comes with the turn key kit work in this case? I assume I just tell you my mods, octane and climate and you will put together a tune and send it to me?

Where on the East coast are you? GTM's and Sam's canned tunes are pretty good , But I still would get a custom tune, Every car is different.
