"*details, and what this kit will includes, along with pricing, will be listed as soon as this kit is available"
I think that says it all right there. I don't think too many people will be paying $4900.00 with no delivery date in sight.

Mcduck, another consideration to make is that the nearest ATI installation center is in West End, NC which is around 2.5 hours from Charlotte. I called ATI today and they told me that Herbert performance is also a dealer/installer but I called them and the guy more or less told me I was crazy. He said they mainly only do headwork. That was in Cherryville NC which is about an hour from here. There are many authorized greddy dealers in Charlotte I believe though. This may not be a factor in your decision but I don't want to have to drive 2.5 hours if something goes wrong.
Actually, Cherryville is only about 30 minutes from me and my parents live out that way.
However, I already have the install worked out with a mechanic in Charlotte that does real high quality work. Was there one day and saw a stoopidly powerful Maxima he was doing some SC tuning on. Although he's not done an ATI kit, he'd done other SC kits before. without a doubt, he will be the one doing my kit whether I get an SC or TT.
email me if you want more info. I'd post here, but I don't know the new rules regarding sponsored vendors and such...

Good to hear. After a lot of talk with my dad tonight about it we decided to hold off on the FI for awhile. To much other stuff going on. If I do decide to go FI, I'll be sure to get the guys info from you.

I have personally been seriously debating on which to go with - ATI or Greddy... I think I'm going to go with the turbos. Gains will be at least those of ATI and a nice kick in the *** via boost is exactly what the Z needs.
With that said... I have spent 11Gs on the damn car and with this kit and brakes and clutch I'll be at a cool 20K after instillation... I should have got a Z06 maybe hehe

Turbos are much more efficient and the potential does not even compare to Super Chargers. As people start to make more boost and fortify their engines, turbos will outperform SC's by leaps and bounds...

For most, at $1000 difference, the ATI Procharger is probably the better bang for the buck since, in general, at similar boost levels they should produce similar power figures. I have a few more weeks until I have the funds for either system, so I'll wait and see what the GReddy kit ultimately entails.
I can easily see me wanting to upgrade the boost later and there's certaintly something more exotic about saying I have a "350Z-TT" over a "350Z-SC"

- Biggest reason... upgradeability. Sure you can do some boost stuff with the SC by changing pulleys, but if you plan down the road to do some serious internal upgrades and go crazy with the boost, the TT will be your better bet.
- Customer Service... this one I think is very debateable now. In the past, GReddy has had a better service reputation than ATI. However, from what I have seen on this message board, I'm very impressed with ATI's involvement in the Z community. I think this one is a dead heat though GReddy is a company with a long positive track record.
- Personally, I think the GReddy (from the prototype shots) looks more impressive.
- The Procharger is too loud.
- If you like the rush of a boost as opposed to the linear power curve of an SC, the TT is probably more for you.

:Breaks open piggy bank... frowns:
I'll probably have the money for the TT just about the time when my warrantly runs out. Guess I'll just have to wait and read all your stories until then...

I had a GReddy T-78 single Turbo in my supra and it wasn't too bad. I also had an intake, exhaust, cam gears, and pulleys when I had it put in though.
And another thing, GReddy's Turbo makes way more power to the wheels than ATi. $4700 for ATI and the prdicted $4700 for GReddy. ATI puts out a little over 300 RWHP and GReddy puts out...take a deap breath... 345RWHP @ .45 bar and 417 RWHP @ .7 bar on a stock car. Now I don't know about you but that is a lot more power than any supercharger can put out.
The GReddy kit that is going to be released will have an intercooler with it. That other store probably just stuck up a price to get people excited they know how much it costs and other stores don't.

I'm sure we'll be seeing a few rods being ejected out of the hood @ 417RWHP... I doubt the block can handle that.

You might be talkin about the Stillen putting out 300whp, most ATi owners have put down at least 340whp on pump, completely stk.
People are saying the Greddy is putting down over 400whp, but they've never announced it. Most mags have Greddy saying 340-350 whp. Where are people getting 400+whp? I want to read that info.

The WRX did lose it's 'grunt' around there because it couldn't vary it's center differential enough to perform as neccesary. The STi is the US's skyline. With less potential.
