Great Idea. Hopefully we can finally come up with real data/numbers so everyone knows the failure rate and decide if the failure rate is a risk they feel comfortable with.

FYI, Jritoli's ATI SC 350Z will be in the SportZ SC comparision test on Dec 14th. His ATI SC will stack up to skk100's Stillen SC Z and a Vortec Z from an owner will be there but is not a member on this forum.

good luck to all.

I have one installed and tuned by me....

No problems at all, but .....

I had to go to the psychiatrist cause I couldn't sleep; he prescribed 3 gals of tholuene (114 octanes) per 10 gals of gasoline. I have taken it since installation keeping the engine fine but not my sanity.

Then he diagnosed procharger paranoia due to the My350Z Forums so he recommended something extra to what I was already taking.

that's why the J&S Timing retard box is arriving in Santo Domingo this afternoon....

I hope I will be able to sleep tonight !!.... and you guys will be able to see new videos of races against E55's, Porsche Twin Turbo, etc. that have challenged me. [9 lbs pulley coming soon]

Do a straight swap and you've got yourself a deal.

Is Max's car still supercharged? I thought he took it off with his new engine.

Not sure though...I might well be wrong.

daking350:

This was your thread to begin with and you did an excellent job with getting the list created. What do you want to do with this list? I think we got most of the ATI owners on this site posted (25 thus far).

Shall we do a stat to see how many have blown motors, how many are experiencing problems, and how many are trouble free?

It would be interesting to know how many people drive them hard and how many are being very careful due to the "concern level" created on this site. How can we get those numbers? Should we do it on this thread or create another thread to poll those questions? I'll let you take the lead.

This is interesting information and I am glad we are finally getting accurate information instead of saying things like "there are many problems" or "only a few problems".

Driven hard? Yes.
Tracked at Summit Point on Nov 21. No problems.
I've had it up to 120 in 4th and in 5th on the straight out
of turn 10. Filled up with the 101 octane at the track.

Steve:

I think the real converts would happen after your SC is released and proven by owners to be trouble free. Right now, Vortech and DW are on a holiday while ATI is taking full brunt of dealing with problematic kits. All products have to stand the "test of time" and as of now, only ATI and Stillen are being tested by consumers.

As you can see, all of us are watching. We only hope that the feedback you are providing for Vortech continues and if/when you have problem cars (you most likely will, all products experience some problems), you will be as visible on line and willing to support your customer. I am sure that will win a few Z owners endorsement of your product.

good luck,

Jeff - zland
