Just what I did... Sharif is a great guy.

My set up:
Turbonetics tuner kit
AAM complete fuel return / Walbro pump
RC440cc injectors
NGK one step colder plugs
Defi BF series boost and fuel pressure gauges
Innovative A/F wideband
Blitz boost controller
Blitz turbo timer
ACT 6 puck clutch
JWT flywheel
modified Borla
3/8 Motordyne spacer
UR 3 piece pully set
3.9 gears
don't have but would get an aftermarket LSD like a Quaife
and some sticky tires... I have PS2's, they're awsome

Good luck with whatever you do... pm me if you have any questions on my set up.

+1 about Sharif

I'd go TT either Greddy of JWT both will give you the numbers for what you want... That will Change I think both systems are good for growth... The 18g's will give you more HP in the long run... The JWT system will give you great mean HP. With a good exhaust TP's etc...


Front Brakes are a must... Unless you have a Track eddition...

APS TT kit = 7400
APS TT Install/tune = 2500
APS test pipes = 200
APS Exhaust = 1250
JWT Clutch/flywheel = 850
Totals $12,000
Spend another 500 or so and get a wideband and boost gauge

What onyx350z posted is nowhere near this setup

Couldn't have said it better.

The choice of TT, ST, or SC is up to you, but another vote to go to Sharif. He will help you with any questions you have.

I just left CP in Charlotte they are a great group of guys did not meet Sharif yet but I constantly talk to him on the phone. I say just go to CP see what they have to offer you. I do believe that will be your best bet. My car is there now.

I think this is more realistic for what yo uwill get for $12,000

Turbonetics Tuner Kit $4200
Turbo XS UTEC $1000
Deatschwerks 440 injectors $350
CJ Motorsports Return Fuel system $995
ATS twin carbon clutch $1900
Topspeed Pro-1 exhaust 3" $300

Install Turbo/Fuel system $1300
Install Clutch $400
Sharif's tune $660
Install exhaust $80

= $11,185

425 RWHP

Respect
JET

save 1000 and ditch the ATS, theres no way thats needed on a car like this. if hes not building the motor, any other clutch/flywheel combo would work. bolt the exhaust on yourself.

thats 10K. spend the left over on suspension or wheels.

i agree, save the money on the clutch.. just go with JWT unless you are dragging your car hardcore. put that money into something else

The ATS is an added luxury. But well worth the money in my opinion if you can afford it.

leather seats are an added luxury. a $2000 clutch on a 400whp car is a waste.
