Props to Sam and GT Motorsports -- Vortech '04 5AT ZR

George@GTM posted a shop build thread on this, so I'm closing this thread -- cruise over here for the GTM description: http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthre...=1#post5527808

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam recently completed a little Vortech upgrade for me on my '04 5AT ZR, and I thought I'd share:

[link to the GTM website with many many pics and a description of the build]

before and after graph:



The before was with Nismo intake and exhaust and Motordyne 5/16" spacer. Needless to say, I'm very much enjoying the results of the build and the new-found look of my front end and attitude under my hood:





Thanks to GTM and to Sam, who knows what the hell he's doing and does it right.

Super Clean! I like the look of the Intercooler, and the oil & transmission coolers!

that's the Vortech auxillary fuel pump, if I'm catching the right image.

How does the shifting feel with the brand of valvebody they used on your car? during easy and hard driving, compared to stock?

^ during easy driving it shifts smooth and seamlessly; when you jump on it, it shifts very quickly and strongly. the difference in the shifting when in auto mode was one of the first things I noticed -- now I can't imagine the car without it.
