So why are you driving an FI 350z?

Can't wait to see your Z on the road again man.

The Z06 has horrible gearing. That was my biggest complaint with the car. No one wants to pony up the money to build a new aftermarket diff.

However, the gearing dows make the car a little more controllable when you start doing heads, cam, and nitrous.

The LS7 does fine under boost with forged pistons and rods. APS's dyno reads way lower than Dynojet's too.

I think the top dog of all TT systems is the LPE....$45k 9-12 week install.

As far as being repeatable yes but there is a 1200+whp Z06 with a custom setup on the streets here(Atlanta). His is the most powerful I know.

As if the new Z06 wasnt fast enough...

Thats just crazy though. I wish I was in a position to buy a new Z06, then be able to twin turbo it. Thats just awesome!

if you can't use the power, it's completely worthless other than if you're into going 100+mph all the time - on street tires anyway
looks like a nice powerband though

I must say that I was totally underwhelmed. However, considering this is a "bolt-on" kit of sorts, on the stock block, with no head/cam work, I would say it is a reasonable gain.

Imagine dropping a few more $$$ on some low-compression forged pistons and rods, a turbo cam, and some other supporting mods and bumping up the compression, to, oh, I don't know, 15 psi.

Now it's time to

No replacement for displacement. A mere 7psi boost pressure generates a +213whp improvement....very nice!

Sharif, this is one of the times Im not going to agree with you. Granted, it is a nice increase in power, but technically, its right on par with a tt 350z. Most generate 175-200hp with 7-8psi, coming from 3.5 liters. The only reason why it seems so much is becuase, it comes with 200hp more from the factory. You also need to take into consideration, that the turbos are larger than our kits, that come with GT30r's. Pushrods, tend to not flow as well as DOHC setups. I know Im going off topic here( putting on flame suit) but its really not that impressive!
