i called LMS a good while back, i can't recall who i spoke with, but they said they were no longer making parts (at least for the 2is) and that they were focusing more on service and labor needs rather than product development.

Zero ECU tuning, and very low interest, there are less than 200 people who post on this board at any given time and of those, how many are actually going to buy this stuff, not say they want too, but actually buy it.

I've already given up on this car being any kind of a tuner car...

ddquach told me all it is was a procharger.... he told me if you get all the pieces by yourself it'll actually be a little cheaper than buying it from LMS....

your just paying LMS to fetch all the stuff for you...

but yeah... i'm still interested in the LMS... a quarter of the price if compared to upgrading to the ISF and a little more than half of the ponies that the F produces....why not?

the LMS uses the ATI C2 Procharger supercharger.. this is the smae one used for prochargers 350z kit.. only it runs at 7 psi vs the IS350 kit running at 5 psi.. so you think we could run 7 psi safely?

Good find iSuxeL

http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/ATI_P...percharger_Kit

are they (LMS) a vendor for us?? so we can find out if they will do any GB's?

Look at the link above...its the same cost as what LMS wants and the kit for the 350z also includes fuel mgmt...In my books this kit from LMS is a 2k kit all day long!
