Somebody posted a video, it is louder than stock, but not obnoxiously so in my opinion. Your top speed will be higher simply because the speed limiter is removed. I haven't seen anyone take a FI Z out to a standing mile type event to get a real top speed.

Maybe I can be the first..

Doubt it though...LoL

I've thought about heading out to the Texas Mile, but it seems like every year somebody wads a car up out there. I'd love to know how fast the car will go if you can just bury the throttle and not worry about cops or road conditions.

Agreed. So it looks like I'm gonna go with the CSF Radiator and those 14" fans. And I think that should be just about all the supporting mods I need for the SC. Aside from vented liners, which I imagine can be done manually and not need be purchased.

Yeah, poking a bunch of holes in the fender liner shoud be a pretty simple DIY.

So would I be looking at the 14" high output fan for the stock radiator? Is that what you guys were suggesting? Or is it another one? Because on that page there's a ton of different options, and I'm not sure which one would fit the CSF radiator.

Correct.

If I had it to do again, I'd get the upgraded fans at the same time I did the radiator. I'd most likely still go with CSF.

Yeah, that's the route I'm taking.

SPOHN · 10-30-2013, 07:31 PM

CSF is more than enough. Mine has always worked great. If it did need more assistance then I will go to the GTM fan and shroud upgrade.

SS_Firehawk · 10-30-2013, 07:56 PM

Stock fans work with the GTM radiator, but you need a new shroud.

Well, finally got the SC kit in. It's missing a couple parts, which should be sent later. I'm on deployment so hopefully my girlfriend will handle the installation side of it.

5 months to get the kit?

You either can wait a huge amount of time for the parts to just come in on their own or you can call every other day, bitch and complain and threatenand it might cut that time down a little bit. If you don't stay on their azz they'll drag it out so long you'll be ready to trade your Z in for something else.

I could of had a '08-'11 Z06 for what I have into my Z and it hasn't seen a pound of boost yet.

Not that I'm defending what they're doing, but what I believe happened is they bit off more than they could chew with group buys. This is just what I think but I don't think they didn't expected such a large demand for that MHI turbo kit they're producing. So when 50+ people signed up for it their knee jerk reaction was to begin production on it....which completely slowed up production on every other project they had. It's just a theory though.

That's bullsh!t. Its what Sam told you right? it seems he tell this to all people who ask for updates.

Look at Fast Intention Exhaust thread and have a look how many exhaust were made.. 100 is just 10% of total number. Fast intention have reach 4 digit number sales and never told us what you mentioned above. Lets not forget that Fast intention thread on this forum are only for 370z. imagine if you merge the quantity with G37 coupe, 350z, Infiniti Sedan, Audi.. etc etc

100 50 customers? that's really cute..
