Search the forums.. heres a start.. https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....&highlight=700 |
depends on what your goals are for the car and what your looking to do with it...
|
Exactly. Do some reasearch and find out what kinda power you want to be making, because that can effect what you need also. Size of injectors, engine management, etc.
|
biggest rule of thumb i've heard regarding the 550s vs 700s, is that the 700bb kit has its wastegate pressure set at around 11psi, which could potentially blow a stock motor.
|
thanks.that does not sound good. just looking for 420 rwhp for now then go from there. just i can not afford to to the kit and motor at the same time. i have a utec now adn just trying to decied the best kit for every day driving and the track
|
go big or go home.

:icon18:
werd, built or bust, 420WHP = buy an old vette... This car is a nightmare in costs to get a solid reliable RWHP and with 700s you'll need to go big |
I would do the 700's, wouldnt even consider the 500's
|
go with 700's have your dealer tell JWT it is for a stock block and they will adjust it to flow as low as possible and get it around 9 psi
|
700s
|
Spring pressure for me is 9.3 psi. If you have a stock exhaust (or just stock cats), I'm fairly confident it will keep the power reasonable for a stock motor - no worries. The other nice thing is that the 700 tuner kit does not come with a fuel system or EMS (which is why it doesn't cost too much more than the 530bb kit), so you can pick your own there (and that's a good thing :thumbup: : Haltech + CJM)...
|
I also agree to go with the 700's and if your trying to go for 650 plus later, you can have Jim make you a set of 850's
|
To put Luie's post in perspective, the 530bb will barely squeeze out 500 whp on a DJ and the curve will have huge midrange torque with a meager top end at that power level.
