Its running a T28 turbine section... LOL Of course they don't tell you it only makes 2 PSI at redline... j/k... On a serious note you are going to need to provide a little more then "I trapped in the 115-120+ range" with a "Crappy 60 ft" to prove anything here. I can't believe you know the trap and 60 but they didn't print a slip and you can't tell us what you ran. Something is not adding up...

you had the money to buy that body kit, but not to get the wheels that would fit it?

You should have just left the car stock and put spares on all 4 corners and saved a few bucks.

Well, the Z's are short cars, the motor sits pretty far back too, so I don't know if there is THAT much more piping. Plus, there is definately less turns then a conventional ST piping would have.
I'd give this one a benefit of a doubt, especially considering that the kit did materialize... Sub Zero is not a STS rep, he's just excited about the kit. Let's wait till a non-biased independent tester gives input.
The MRC guy, he can be a ***** sometimes, but he would not hesitate to call a turd a turd. So I expect his review to be as unbiased as they get...

I dont like people that make assumptions, especially about what they should run or what they feel the car can do. To say I trapped between 115-120mph is a crock of $hit. Thats like saying I dyno'd between 380-470whp, who would settle for an answer like that? Subzero-you are quickly sinking. Man up and post your real times and traps, or dont make assumptions at all. Im losing faith and respect by the post. A "track" with no slips is called the street....

I dont really understand why i have to "come up" with anything else. I dont work for STS....I am simply one happy customer.
I serouisly could give 2 ****s whether or not you guys believe me about how ghetto the track is....**** i even provide pictures to show the condition of it.lol
The track did not supply time slips....but it did announce the times. My times were horrible due to no traction....would anyone else dare to run at the track with XXX+whp with street tires and expect a good time?!?!?!

Alberto i understand where you are coming from....i have no idea why STS is trying to promote a product but not showing what kind of numbers its putting down.

yes the rear ****ing wheels I KNOW lol....

Well since you just claimed 115-120+ you might want to have something to back that up. so dd they "announce" your trap speed as 115-120+? I can see it now [announcer]In the right lane, silver 350Z with turbo mounted behind the pre-stage line, ran a 13.xx with a 115-120+ trap.....[/announcer]

I find it hard to believe you trapped even 115mph if you were spinning so bad with 400whp, now 120mph, no f*cking way, thats 430+whp territory for a twin like powerband (ie. not a lot of TQ drop off up top)....claims were a little overboard you should come clean. I realize you spun, but tell us the truth about the times/traps, say "I ran 13.1 @ 111mph spinning", dont say "I ran bad but trapped between 87-131mph."

Quick question....Lets say this **** is real....would you guys give up your twin for a sts turbo if it did in fact make more power? Alot of vehicles/drivers have had some pretty good success with these kits....why do people think it wont work or even be successful on a Z?

Because of your guestimated crap numbers you posted. How exactly did you figure out you were trapping 115-120+?
