Maybe a stupid question but I will ask it anyways.

I had the vortech kit on my 05 Z and loved the way it sounded. Some said it was too loud but im wondering if I could use the Vortech bipass valve to get that vortech sound with the GTM kit? I dont like stealth lol I want to hear every bit of the super charger.... Minus the infamous vortech rattle.....

GTM advised me that the estimated time to install the kit is approximately 16 hours and GTM (who have installed lot of kits) is charging 14 hours to install the complete kit

Sam please give us some info on the differences between the stage 1 and 2 kits and any info you can on the GTR manifold kit. Tax returns are coming soon. I want to give you my business but I need information.

I have been talking with Mike at GTM and he gave me a link to their site showing the upgrade from stage 1 to stage 2 for the 370z you might wanna check that out. Its basically a new kit. Different charger, belts, injectors, larger piping! Pretty pricy for the upgrade on the 370 so I'm sure it will be about the same for the 350.

I'm looking to do the Stage 1 SC upgrade in the future. This is a cheaper option for me since I've already spent a good amount of money on my GTM Stage 1 kit. So far I haven't seen anyone comment on how the Stage 1 upgrade HR kit performs. As far as I know there hasn't been a press release for the GTM Stage 2 or Stage 1 upgrade kit. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

No not yet, I kinda got into some trouble lol.. it put down 377 in 100 degree weather here in alabama during the summer. but I'll prob take it to get tuned when it starts to warm up a little, maybe in march or something. I still gotta get a clutch.

HI Guys,

I'm recently researching about the GTM Super Charge option.

I track my car and I know stock NA cars with FI mods can be devastating on track due to heat and other issues.

I don't plan to go big, instead, I plan to run safe tune no more than 8psi. My goal is to have 400 whp and 320-350 wtq for my Nismo. Could anyone of you guys shed some light to let me know if this supercharge kit can be track friendly?

My Z will be mostly (80%) on track and 20% on the street. I do 12-15 track days a year. I will run a Z1 25 row oil cooler with this kit.

Sam or Mike, could you guys input some ideas as well? Would this kit have heat issues on track? I plan to not just do track days but also Super lap and possible time attacks.

This is a very interesting kit for the price and I am definitely interested.

Thank you for your responds in advance guys!
