Richard's Slammed and Supercharged 14' 370z

DSC_7914-Edit.jpg

Richard picked up this 370z Touring Edition for a really good price, and had a clear vision at the very beginning. He wanted to have both show and go, and did not want to compromise the drive-ability or function in doing so. He was seeking the comfort of a reliable daily driven vehicle, air conditioning, an automatic transmission, and a comfortable ride. We decided for increasing the power output, a Stillen supercharger kit would be a great option. Aside from some minor fitment issues, and other mishaps with some of the parts supplied, it has a perfect balance between lightning quick acceleration, and calm daily driving, while not sacrificing driveability.

The other area of concern was having a better stance, and being able to lower it, but still be able to navigate the less than perfect roads in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We solved this problem by building an Airlift Performance setup, which is the best of both worlds. You can hard park when you want to look good, drive at a normal ride height, and also maintain an OEM level ride quality.

We finalized the build with a set of long-tube headers, a free-flowing exhaust, engine oil, transmission oil cooler, and an upgraded radiator.

The last portion of our implementation of performance mods around creature comforts was finding a way to install 3 aftermarket gauges in the factory center cluster, as well as a custom hydro-brake setup, which we installed with ZERO cuts to interior panels.
