If you're talking about changing the bottom end out...you should do that when you get the supercharger done. Can get some big power that way...

Goal is power, hook-up, & handling not looks or comfort. Eventually turning my Z into a dedicated track car, that I may sneak-out on the street on Friday & Saturday nights to eat up Mustangs, Camaros, & at least run side by side stock GTR's. If I have to lose a/c so be it. It's a attainable goal because speed is just a question of how much you can afford to spend.

Do a lower compression bottom end, custom turbo kit...IMHO. The Stillen supercharger kit seemed to be a huge let down, unless they fixed it...

Yeah, but building an engine for boost and building an engine for power N/A are two diametrically opposite tasks.


You will probably want to drop your CR by 20% to boost it right - which means it'll be a slug without boost.

You have to pick one or the other.

There's always the NOS option too.

A lot less money to do that, certainly. Easier to remove and install, as well.

I don't know how this car responds to juice too well, though. And your gains will be limited by just how strong the bottom end is as well. I wouldn't spray more than a 100 shot, probably.

Actually, these days dropping compression when adding boost do not always go hand in hand. Technology has come a long ways in the past few years and the boosted engines are really seeing the most of it. Without spending way to much time rambling, we are not dropping compression on the VQ37s unless the customer will be running 25+psi of boost at all times.

There is also a Flex fuel kit we are using now so that makes it even easier, as E85 and High Compression go hand in hand. So do a "low" boost tune on pump gas, and a high boost tune on E85 and you have one awesome street car. Most of the Fast Intentions cars we are doing retain 11:1 Compression ratio's right now.



As for KoolKarmaJoe, would love to work with you on your goals! Have fun out in LA, and shoot me a call after the Holidays and we can set up a time for you to stop by and I will be more than happy to show you around!

I don't want my engine to end up like those pics. That's why I want to make sure the lower end built strong.

Can easily do that even with a built bottom end, too.

I'm sure MAM can hook you up with a solid build and tune to go with it.
