Our STS Z's COMPLETED!

I love the idea, love the sound, I'd be very satisfied with the power, but I think it's even cooler to say you got a twin turbo'd V6 than talkin about the turbo in the back when in reality Camaro's and Corvettes are already runnin around with TWIN TURBOS IN THE BACK.
I'm not hating on CIN, I'm hatin on STS for puttin a single turbo in the twin turbo market. Two's better than one

go do some research man..... jsut check what the single laggy trubos you speak off did for the supra for example....

Again, the single laggy TURBO I'm speaking of is on the 6MT 350Z that gave that dyno posted above. How you gonna criticize me on that based on what I was referring to? Any of the TT kits we have available have more potential than this kit is all I'm saying, since that's what we're talking about, this kit being priced up there near the TT kits.

dude, i like twin turbos..i just dont like your attitude that if its not TT its not worth it cuase its not the case(maybe with current kits out there but not generally speaking)

if i were you.. i would fall back until my kit is done and dyno'd.. unfortunately you are building hype you have no idea if you will be able to backup.
i have stopped telling people to get TT's long time ago.. i don't even argue which one is better anymore, whats the point?

I still would rather pay that lil bit more and go for twins that have more potential rather than the unique factor and ease of install... until they drop their price after realizing they shouldn't be competing with twins
what exactly do you mean when you say TT's have more potential?!?!?!
The rx7, supra's, etc....they all go single turbo....you dont see evo's,sti's, or srt-4's putting twin set-ups in there car....why is that?

My apologies for not stating Greddy Twins vs. STS single everytime I mention comparisons. For future reference, I will again say that I'm comparing the STS with Greddy because of pricing.

its easier to run a ST on an inline setup than a V6 .. on a V Engine configuration you have manifolds on each side.. so its easy to have a turbo on each manifold.. on a I-4 / I-6 the manifolds are all in the same line.. so its easier to feed 1 turbo..
naturally 2 turbo's will make more power than 1 turbo .. its not rocket science.. obviously 1 Big turbo will make more power than 2 small turbo's .. but Greddy and APS turbo's arn't small
but your not paying just a "lil" more for the greddy system installed...its like a $1,000 difference.....thats money customers can use for a upgraded clutch and supporting mods like wideband and guages
Cube...i know what you are sayng but you still havent answered my question. What makes you think that a twin turbo set-up is better for the VQ motor? Im not bashing on you...but since you say it has more potential i guess i can ask you for the answer since you seem to know more than i do. Im just here to learn.

i think i have about the same post/day ratio as before =]
i honestly dont think i know everything....
i just make a point for those that say twins only...i mean yah twins are awsome but its not all there is on the Fi world, and its not the only solution out there..
about which one is better...most 350z FI kits have had success so it usually comes down to peoples budget in the end =]
