If you looking to run safe I would say run 350 whp on a good tune. 350 whp is not very much stress on the stock block and its fairly safe, just make sure you have a nice 11:1 A:F.

back in the day when I was looking into them I would have only purchased an aquamist setup. I have tried the cheaper brands on other cars (snow, cooling mist, etc) and was not happy with them

Methanol. I think I remember from your previos thread that you were running the turbonetics reflash. Do you plan on using whichever controller comes with whatever kit you choose; or do you plan on upgrading your EMS and control it with that?

UTEC would be a better alternative to the reflash. It will give you better tuning of your motor, and with the help of the methanol; you can have your tuned better.

TUNING IS EVERYTHING!

Glad to help! You won't be disapointed with the UTEC. IMO, Turbonetics with UTEC is more common then Turbonetics with reflash anyway!

There are always events going on in AZ. Not sure when the next one is, but keep an eye out in the southwest regional section of the forum, or go onto www.az350z.com. PM me if you have any more questions.

Just get Meth Injection, it's easy to install and it will take care of the high temp issues that happen with all turbo kits. I have it and I'm only supercharged and live in Ohio. Also, make sure you at least get a Utec. When I first started reading on these forums and everyone would say that I still figured I was going to buy a TN kit and just rely on the flash. After doing much research I found that an engine management is a power adder and a safety net for your car so it's a win win for sure. I bet if you did the TN kit with meth injection, a utec and a boost controller that 420 whp would be very reachable and I'm sure 450 would be possible if you turned it up a bit. You really should go no higher then 400whp on our cars though and that kit is really good for that level of power.

YA WILL DO!!! I really like the AIS injection kit, like the fact that the resevoir is n the trunk, thata way I dont have to give up my windshield wiper fluid. Anyone heard anything about this kit??

Why do you have to give up your windshield washer reservoir? It will still work and how often do you use them anyways?

ya that is true, however, I've heard that the other kits, thats where the resevoir goes. It replaces the placement of the washer fluid, I figure, if you can avoid that, why not? IDK though, I need to read up on the differences, would u recommend ur kit?
