not really going to gain much respect for touting Sam At GTM for:
kit fitment
kit completeness
good prices

Glad to see a good running Z. Hows that big turbo build Z coming?

Brandon@VTR

Why's that?

Read the forums, there are many cases about missing/delayed/wrong components, improper fitment and $$$$$$ invoices. That is all i am gonna say. It stuck out in the video as a sales pitch. They will never see a $ of mine if i can help it.

Is Andrew a forum member? Build list? Looked like good power for 18lb of boost.

Brandon@VTR

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way.

Andrew isn't on the forum, hopefully I can get him to sign up to share his build experience all together, since we did not build the car.

Crazy how much work it took to fix that mess but I'm glad you guys got it sorted. Looks like a solid setup!

Cant imagine how much that guy had into the car going between 2 shops. Like Vinny has said, cheaper to pay more up front and only have to do it once

Looks like it needs more duty cycle on the boost controller to keep the boost flat through the entire rpm band.

In support of what Cux said, I recently tried to source a USED 370z crankshaft and rods for a budget stroker and they wanted more than the dealer. They then pleaded ignorance when I pointed that fact out to them. Their whole tone left a less than desireable taste with me. Just with the knowledge from that exchange I wouldn't let them get near my Z for any work. However even with that in mind, next spring I'll probably pick up their SC kit cause for the HR it's the best design out there, but I'll be making that purchase with a little apprehension and the full protection of my CC.

Customer update:

Ran a 11.7 @ 125mph without launching/burnout and a 2.1 60 ft.

He's going back with an alignment, better tires and should hit low 11's.

Do you guys tune NA cars? I asked on Facebook but was never responded to. Well of course you'd tune it but what do you charge? Can respond in PM.

That's an impressive trap speed. Low 11's for sure. Is this car a DD?

Tempted to ship my car for retuning and inspection. It's a $$$ issue right now.

for 600+hp?? nah


Nice work on the car!

I'm confused at 2 things though: 1) if the customer said it was running so horrible why put it on the dyno and run it to redline and risk the engine on the crappy tune?

2.) Why was he so concerned and even emailing uprev about the crappy messed up rom that was on the car? I wouldn't have even touched it and loaded the stock ROM back on the car and started working from something that was normal. He could have saved a lot of time doing that and junking what that other shop started.

And +1 on the laugh at GTM being great fitment and reasonably priced. They have the most expensive prices for any components in our market.

I thought for anything over 500whp it was recommended u go standalone for all the extra safeties and more accurate tuning values or something like that? not a tuner just what I thought I read on here before

You can read a lot of things on this site.

well I only ask because my engine is being built at dynosty for more powah and I already have uprev but I think they rnt gonna tune me to close to 500whp...but I do agree...a lot can b read on this site

suprasam

^ If you haven't already, ask Hal and the guys at Dynosty what they are looking to get from your build and tune then go from there.

A good rule is to go with what the tuner/builder is most comfortable with but in the end you will be the one driving it home on a weak tune or 600 whp monster that you wanted.

I don't think ill need anything over 500whp...not tryin to steal this thread just brought up a good point but ill just pay the extra cash for haltech...its no big deal

he must have not been on high boost with a 125mph trap. thats like a low 500whp trap speed

Its great to see him putting it thru the paces though!
