Yeah sorry it was a mix. But you can get it at the pump just a couple blocks away from my house.

Let me know when you're in town (no sarcasm). I just don't see getting too much traction with +500whp w/o hearing tires screaming every gear. Prove me wrong and maybe I'll go twins with my future built Maybe its different from by best friend Supra (who likes to brag about his 600whp+ and can barely get traction during power shift).

you can loose traction at any HP with a Z .. hell i use to loose traction with my Nismo CAI.. its really about throttle control and car control that will make a difference on how you control the power

Just to clairfy, NONE OF THESE RUNS WERE ON C16, it was originally on 91 octane, then we added 100 octane for the higher boost runs, so infact it wasn't even pure 100 octane put a 91/100 octane mix. I stated that to hit 600rwhp (or close to it) on this car, then we would need to use C16

So YES you can make 500rwhp with just a 91/100octane mix on this car

Nice work Sam / George. Good to see some high horsepower potential for the TN ST faithful. So many times we've heard that you can't get to 500+whp with those kits. This breaks that myth down... Great job

Congrats on the awesome power from the TN kit. Just goes to show you, what good parts selection, a good EMS, and a good tuner can do for you!

Imma have to agree with sharif the more i look at this the more im excited to see the development of ST on Z's. I cant wait to see more. This is a HUGE step for the Z community in the FI department.

I have to tell you first hand, I'm very inspired. I've been into the plans of going built TT for next year. This is really making me think now. It would be cheaper and wouldn't have to worry about selling my TN kit to purchase a TT setup. This way I could utilize what I have. Really like the fact that there isn't but a handful of ST of this caliber. You thought about running a open dump? Good luck to you?
