haha sick dude.

that meet is gonna cost me $15k

lol

was a good day

yup definitely a good day. hopefully tomorrow wont rain so the meet goes on. haha drop the $15k into the car and call it a day :happydance:

No buy a gtr and call it a day

gtr is a girls car :stirthepot:

you might wanna get a DD before you TT your 370z. unless you already have a second car.

one step ahead of ya. just got one.

cool what did you get? and as far as ahead of me, i already have a TT Z :p

a 2000 ford crown vic. It was free, family member is getting rid of it.

and i'm jealous of the current HP of your car

Dude you signed up for the GTM SC!? Stage 1?

Yea man

havent decided between:

GTM STG 1 SC
GTM STG 2 SC

or

GTM STG 1 TT

price and engine longevity are the biggest factors for me. Im only looking to get 450whp

GTM stg 1 sc won't get you to 450whp, stage 2 will but it's still not done yet. TT kit on 6psi will do 450whp for sure. Stillen kit will do 450whp with some tweaks but I won't go there. A brand new SC kit is a bit cheaper (1-2k) and easier to install (less labor).

As for which will last longer, I suppose thats debatable. Some claim that the added stress that a belt driven SC adds is harder on the engine than the swift kick in the crank of torque that the TT provides. I believe that although the SC adds some extra work for the engine, the linear power delivery is much less harsh on the internals and will last longer.

yea that's what i've been told. I'm waiting for the Stg 2 SC to be released.

Does the enginge NEED to be removed to install a SC. Trying to figure out if it's worth the 4-5k for labor.

No way, the engine does NOT need to come out at all for an SC install, 4-5k is a lot for just labor on installing the kit.

when it comes to labor. find out the shops labor rate, and then how many hours they are saying it will take. does it take 50 hours to install a supercharger? i dont know.

I was given a quote of 10,800 for Kit + Labor + Tune

kit cost around $6500..

Might just do it on my own, we'll see

I know how long it takes to install a supercharger, thats why I said 4-5k sounds like a lot of its just labor. The kit can and has been done over a weekend/several nights. It's no more than 20 hours of labor for a DIY.

Dyno tuning is also another expense that they included in that price, depending on how many hours on the dyno of course this can add up as well.

Hey guys, good meeting all of you. That was your first time visiting our shop right?

Yes first time and wont be the last. I want the gold stickers

hah, ive been a couple times. Have to stop going though, bad for the wallet

Yea for me. Going gold soon.....? :)

haha yea man. I'm thinking im going to just Supercharge it...its like $5k cheaper + i can get 415whp out of it which is plenty...

Haha alright alright. You know what you gotta do to receive the Gold stickers :) :driving:

anthony get some nice license plate frames, the ones you had before just look like plain dealership plates. Get some with color, and that are logo oriented rather than text. I want one

I will pass that on to Gary and Alex and see what we can do. I do agree though.

a dynotune and custom ECU for my 300zx is like 500 dollars. so i dont know why any dynotune would be much more than that
