I heard about the GTM 2.5 conversation and it seemed to go a little differently but what do I know.

I just reAd all the post. If I seemed like a jerk when u said you can get at least 550 hp with a stg 2 kit, I was just trying to get you to understand that 550hp sc would be a major feat. And it would take a lot of heart ache and money to reach that goal. Just speaking for a monetary stand point turbo would be the way to go. And from my experience with sc So far has been good, but I don't like it when someone corners me and ask me how much money I spent on everything. And as far as I knew the wholesale pricing through gtm is non existent with their sc kits. The reality here is don't be rude to someone and ask a personal question about how much money was spent, but rather talk about our driving experience enhancements with our z's. Which I though this was all about. FYI I have been a DIY guy all my life. I did not hire a shop to do any installs for me. I probably know more than u think. Peace out! Sorry for ruffled feathers. I truly am!

Ha! No prob. I think our opposite personalities clash a bit. I heard from somewhere you are a calmer, less spoken guy, and I tend to ramble. So I probably caught you off-guard. Anyway, love your ride man, even though it does sound like a shop vac

This is exactly what happened here.
Synak when you come up talking a bunch of sillyness about stages and things, people tend to think you dont know what you are talking about. Hence why the conversation didnt last very long.

I was standing right there when you told him the 2.5 kit came with a custom tune and injectors... Some of the information you were throwing out was a little off base, and honestly I dont think I would have taken you seriously either. You told him the 2.5 comes with a "Custom tune" and a few other things... Most people that are doing these modifications tune their car regardless of the stage.

The stage 2.5 kit doesnt exist... Anyone can buy a blower and piece together GTM parts.

I am pretty sure you were confused about the other white nismo because it doesnt have the bbk lol.

The tune, injectors, heat exchanger, etc I was referring to were just random mods that came out of my mouth. What I meant by 2.5 was that it was the 2 with upgrades beyond what came with the kit like some of the things I mentioned above. Everyone knows a supercharger's worst enemy is heat. Wouldn't want to get heat-soaked especially in Texas. I do admit I came off fast like I probably didn't know what I'm talking about. In reality though I do have a bit of experience with superchargers. I had a 06 Cobalt SS before this with 320whp, which is hard to do with the stock S/C. That's just another reason I'd rather go S/C than T/C. Not to mention it's cheaper and easier to install DIY.

All I got to say is set realistic expectations. 550 hp sc would require more than what you have just suggested. And I thought that gtm integrated an air to air intercooler rather than a heat exchanger like stillen. I may be wrong though, since my experience with sc is only about a month in the making.

Still yet, big 500+ hp would be much more cost effective and realistic with turbo. And I believe everyone could agree with this.

So... here's one of the raw vids I took with my phone on the way to the Twisted Sisters... not very good quality but you can get kind of an idea of the roads/hills/scenery around us
