Goodspeed partners with Planet Nissan of Las Vegas to build the first Supercharged 370Z!!!
Everybody knows the history of the Nissan sports car platform simply dubbed "The Z car". This series began life in 1969 as the first 240Z rolled off the assembly line and went on to begin winning race after race as a production car well ahead of its time. Then of course the 260Z came next 5 short years later which sported the slightly larger 2.6L in-line 6. The 260Z was almost immediately replaced with the infamous 280ZX which boasted a 149hp engine and again went on to capturing the checkered flags of many SCCA events over the next few years. Fast forward to 2009 and the introduction of the latest entry in the Z car family, the 370Z which utilizes a 332hp V6 and when outfitted with the 6-speed transmission option...simply rips up the pavement while providing a nice comfortable ride.
This is where Goodspeed Performance steps in to make something good into something better with the introduction of the newest supercharger kit to hit the market from our friends at Stillen. The guys at Stillen have absolutely outdone themselves with this new S/C kit for the 370Z and G37 cars. The kit replaces the intake plenum with a stylish redesigned piece as well as adding a water to air intercooler setup and all there to support the monster Vortech V3 trim head unit. The team at Planet Nissan in Las Vegas Nevada contracted Goodspeed to build something just a little different than the norm...something that would allow them to offer a 370Z that would set the market on its ear. In true Goodspeed fashion, we answered the bell with a dealer ready package that will flat crush the competition in both looks and performance. This package will consist of a Stillen S/C kit, Stillen oil cooler, Stillen cat-back exhaust system, and an entire host of Nismo suspension components. The car is expected to hit somewhere in the neighborhood of 500hp on our Arizona 91 octane fuel so we'll let you know as soon as we have the final results. Below are some pics of the kit as well as some before and after shots of what we were working with.




If you have any questions about this kit or any other Nissan 370Z parts, please contact the team at Goodspeed by calling 480-747-6150 or email at sales@goodspeedperformance.com

Goodspeed Performance offers Jet Hot / HPC high temp coatings for your performance needs!
The import market has been pushing the limits of components and horsepower for some time now. Goodspeed offers JET-HOT / HPC coatings that were designed to stand up to the demands of extreme performance. JET-HOT has coatings that can withstand temperatures up to 2,400ºF for those radical turbo applications and coatings that cut down surface temperatures like never before possible. JET-HOT will normally boost power when applied to headers or manifolds for two reasons. First, the coating promotes denser, more potent fuel/air charges by insulating the engine bay from exhaust heat. At the same time, it accelerates the pulsed-vacuum effect on “tuned” headers, resulting in more effective scavenging of cylinders. The increased velocity of exhaust gases produced by higher exit inertia not only clears each cylinder more quickly; it also draws in the next fuel/air charge more efficiently. If you’re looking to trick out your ride, we can put one or more of JET-HOT's color coatings to make it stand apart from all the rest.The new EXTREME STERLING can withstand temperatures up to 1700ºF and has amazing insulation properties.
JET-HOT has coatings for your extreme performance needs. With JET-HOT you will get:
- Reduced Skin Temperatures
- Extended Part Life
- Increased Horsepower
- Outstanding Great Looks


JET-HOT's PERFORMANCE ENGINE COATINGS reduce friction to pistons while increasing horsepower. Pistonclad is an ant-friction coating specifically formulated for piston skirts on gasoline, diesel and other piston powered engines. It is an excellent oil attracting coating that helps eliminate galling and fretting on mating surfaces of aluminum and steel. This coating has excellent high temperature stability, chemical breakdown resistance to fuels, acids and bases, brake fluids, moisture and lubricating oils. We also offer a Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) that is applied to the domes

Contact Goodspeed Performance today at 480-747-6150 with any inquiries into JET-HOT / HPC services.
Dyno Room!
Goodspeed is once again taking it to the next level, we have now started on the construction of our sound proof pressure balanced dyno room. This will allow us to utilize the two 50,000 CFM fans mounted roof side to draw fresh air through the room and over the vehicle being dynoed. In addition it will aide in accuracy by providing a true-to-speed air flow over the car allowing us to make run after run with out excessive heat soak occurring as well as reducing over all stress on the power train. The room is also designed with a viewing area so cars can be watched through a dual laminated sound proof safety glass. This will prove useful for increased safety during dyno day events as well as day to day viewing. We at Goodspeed feel that providing this level of facility is a conscious act on our part to keep both our employees and our customers safe. Excessive levels of noise and emissions can cause an uncomfortable and unsafe environment in the workplace, as well as a unpleasant experience for the client. we will keep you posted on its completion!

Highlights of the show 2 R8 and dyno demonstration resulting in a 417hp pull of one of the R8s proving the Maha' dyno's superior accuracy.
A5 2.0T FSI ECU Tuning is at GoodSpeed!
APR has had the new A5 2.0 turbo software out for a couple of months now and we have to say it is impressive. After tuning about a dozen of these cars we can attest to APR's silky smooth power and a lot of it. Joined with GoodSpeed's own 3"turbo back exhaust system and a AWE front mount the car is a monster that pulls all the way to red line. We do hope that a Ko4 turbo upgrade from APR comes soon.
Announcement: All Audi Club of America members receive half off the install of any APR ecu flash! This is to promote club membership in AZ.
Announcement: All new Audi A5 and A4 ECUs can be sent to Goodspeed in Scottsdale AZ for A re-flash, same day turn around. email Jon@goodspeedperformance.com for ecu removal instructions.
