Make sure you keep an eye on your belts and pulleys. I just ate my accessory belt. It was hard to see what belt was going because it was way down there and hard to see. I kept smelling my belts when I accelerated and small shreds of rubber in my engine bay that was new. I was getting gradual power loss until it just went. I was troubleshooting for months what was going on. You can read up on it here: The Sophia Project - Nissan 370Z Forum I'm hoping this is the last big problem I have.

I was able to get the alternator, idler pulley's and stock tensioner pulley replaced under warranty. I had to order a new acc belt (last thing I'm waiting on). A good friend of mine works for @ Nissan and was able to talk to the warranty lady to make sure the warranty didn't void and get it covered. I'm super lucky and grateful for everything he's done for me. Once it's all back together, a boost test will be done and if all G2G, I'm strapping her back down to see if she's making what she's supposed to. If it's not making 500whp, I'm sending it back to GTM and telling them to give me what they claimed to deliver.

"2SC is a great kit and is capable of some series HP" However 7 AT Forced Inducted beast are limited by the Crappy Transmission in our cars.

I kind of doubt it and I don't want to damage anything or take out the transmission. I do not think anyone has got into the 500 AWHP yet with a stock G37. I think breaking the 11 sec 1/4 mile would be a whole lot more fun. You know the saying "dyno numbers are for show but 1/4 times are for dough".

On another note I was sorry to hear that SS FireHawk has had issues with his 2SC build and ended up selling the car.
