Default Trip to GT Motorsports

Started off the first stage of going FI, had jwt clutch and flyhweel installed. Lots of SICK @ss z's and a fully built AT g35. Was talking to sam over some parts and I must say his rep follows him, hes a real cool guy and knows his stuff. He even test drove my g to make sure everything was working good after the install.

I highly recommend this shop if anyone is in the so cal area looking for any work... anyone on these forums who has their Zs there right now? There was a black z with a lip kit that looked stock until I saw the dyno sheet on the dash then i noticed how well hidden the intercooler was behind the stock bumper

how many of you guys on APS kits are running different BOVs? Im coming from the greddy type S so im used to how loud the bov was, i heard aps was rather quiet

it's not that most bov's are quiet, it's that the greddy type S is ridiculously annoying after a lil while (I had one on a turbo sr20 SER and fricking hated it)

My Z was there on saturday and had UTEC/TunerPro installed and was tuned. Unfortunately, my car already had a very high RWHP on the dynojet (260rwhp), but sam was able to crank it up to 265 rwhp on 91 octane gas with just bolt ons. The car runs much smoother now.
