Default Props to Sam and GT Motorsports -- Vortech '04 5AT ZR

George@GTM posted a shop build thread on this, so I'm closing this thread -- cruise over here for the GTM description: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....=1#post5527808

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam recently completed a little Vortech upgrade for me on my '04 5AT ZR, and I thought I'd share:

before and after graph:



The before was with Nismo intake and exhaust and Motordyne 5/16" spacer. Needless to say, I'm very much enjoying the results of the build and the new-found look of my front end and attitude under my hood:





Thanks to GTM and to Sam, who knows what the hell he's doing and does it right.

Super Clean! I like the look of the Intercooler, and the oil & transmission coolers!

How does the shifting feel with the brand of valvebody they used on your car? during easy and hard driving, compared to stock?

^ during easy driving it shifts smooth and seamlessly; when you jump on it, it shifts very quickly and strongly. the difference in the shifting when in auto mode was one of the first things I noticed -- now I can't imagine the car without it.
