The best kit out there IMO is the FI kit. Best kit for the price is the BP kit. Both have great engineering behind them. But the BP kit will save you with total cost including install.
Trust me I know I've been on all the FI threads. Like a dog on bacon! Sent with TapAhoe

It's not that hard to figure out...
Most affordable: GTM MHI (at group buy pricing of course) Best bang for the buck: Boosted Performance Money no object: Fast Intentions

MHI is NOT the most affordable. After getting an invoice the price is very similar to BP. MHI still needs oil coolers/colder spark plugs. The 3" downpipe alone was at least another 800 dollars and that is with the discount. Once you factor in cost of install then MHI will cost more than the BP kit. Unless you do it yourself then the price is very close to being similar. |

For what it's worth, I called Sam last weekend and he basically said what he said above, "the cast parts are coming in and pipes are being bent, we just have to wait for them all to come in". Then I asked for like an honest unofficial estimate on when it will ship and he said it would most likely be within 2 months. Obviously not a concrete date, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

Now as far as reliability of the the components and performance of this upcoming kit, we'll have to wait and see once it has been installed, tuned and run on as many 370Z as possible. Keep our fingers crossed. |

There is a lot of different criteria for what would constitute the best kit, kit A might be the best for a certain person while kit B would be best suited for someone else. The group buy pricing, and the retail pricing are 2 different things. Also when you manufacture products in higher quantities you are often able to be more competitive on pricing and pass your savings along to your customers. |

We are trying to bring products to the Nissan/Infiniti community at the same level as GReddy, HKS, Stillen, etc. but with a more affordable price point and better products. In my opinion our forced induction options are better than those competitors so I am glad you bring them up. |

As cylinder temperatures and pressures are much higher with any type of forced induction, including nitrous, it is recommend to run colder plugs in order to avoid hot spots and pre-detonation. Cheap insurance. |

At GTM we strive to bring the Nissan/Infiniti community the best products we can, with in house R&D, manufacturing and installation. This gives a certain amount of experience in the VQ platform that is unrivaled in our industry. I don't know of anyone that has more hours tuning VQ's than Sam.
Although it may seem easy from an outside perspective there are many challenges faced when developing the amount of supercharger kits, turbo kits, and supporting modifications we offer. We are passionate about what we do and that is why we do it and will continue to do so. Things are only going to be getter better and more efficient so that future products will roll out much smoother. Trust me we want everyone waiting to already have our turbo kit - why wouldn't we? But if it takes longer than expected and our reputation has to suffer that is what has to happen so that our customers get the best quality products that GTM is known for. Thank you. -George |

You need to strive for better customer service. That's the bottom line. If I could of waited for the kit I would of. But GTM's treatment of its customers doesn't stop at their wallets. You guys have affected people's contracts with sponsors, charities, shows, families even, and not including the money and time spent on prepping the car for the kit. This is where GTM needs to improve. You can polish a piece of coal all you want, but at the end of the day it's still a piece of coal. You have to put in work if you want a diamond.
