After winning Sport Compact Car's inaugural
Ultimate Street Car Challenge with his Ferrari 360 Modena
two years ago, James Chen of Axis Sport Tuning came
back this year to win the Ultimate Street Car Challenge
3 with his bright yellow, ProCharged 350Z. Chen was
criticized for spending too much money on his Ferrari
in the 2001 challenge, so he set out to prove he could
create a winning, lightly-modified, well-balanced car
for around $35,000–and he certainly did. Chen’s
ProCharged beauty won three tests and placed second
in 3 others, earning him enough points to enter the
winner's circle one more time.

This supercharged daily-driver is a
living testament to ATI's committment to creating durable
and long-lasting centrifugal supercharger systems. With
a highly effective air-to-air intercooler and compact
C2 ProCharger, this car was one of ATI's first 350Z
installations in May of 2003. Since then it's put on
more than 16,000 miles, some 5,000 of which accumulated
during a road trip from Kansas City to California to
participate in the Sport Z Magazine Supercharger Shootout,
where it was pitted against two other supercharged Z's.
This otherwise stock Z, with HO Intercooled ProCharger
system, won both the autocross and the dyno competition
against the other two Z’s, and posted top speed
in the quarter with 107.78 mph. Although off its previous
best of 12.9 @ 109 mph, this winning performance was
definitely worth the cross-country trip.

JIC-Magic and Ziel Motorsports teamed
up to build this wildly impressive drifter car in early
2003, which was actually the prototype car for ATI's
new intercooled 350Z ProCharger system. This easily
recognizable machine has been competing in drifting
events for over a year, proving once again that ProCharger
builds a system to last. This car was featured in a
recent issue of Sport Compact Car, together with documentation
of industry-leading ProCharger power.

Featured on the cover of the
March 2004 issue of Super Street, this previously copper-colored
Z is nothing short of a masterpiece. Before turning
heads at the 2003 SEMA show, Toucan industries gave
this little number a massive face-lift with a new paint
job, ings body kit, a rear wing, Ractive exhaust, and
19" forged wheels, to name only a few. And of course,
what Z engine would be complete without an Intercooled
ProCharger system that, according to Super Street, “...helps
produce enough muscle to lay down patches of blazing
skid marks that’ll make your underwear jealous.”
With a plug like that one, all that's left to say is,
"Nicely put."

In order to land the cover of
the June 2004 issue of Import Racer, the owner of this
Z had to be in the right place at the right time. With
Jada Toys wanting a Z to display at the 2003 SEMA Show,
he didn’t waste any time buying this copper Z
and bolting on an ATI ProCharger running 7 psi of boost.
With his experience of also displaying cars at the 2002
and 2001 SEMA Shows, landing a magazine cover with this
tiger-striped ride was inevitable. On top of the 20"
wheels this Z also sports a 10-disc DVD player, a Sony
PS2, and a Sony Xplod sound system. Make no mistake
though, this car means business–not only does
this ProCharged Z make 360 rwhp, but the owner drives
it to every show.

Rytek Motorsports contacted Accessible
Technologies to get their new Skyline in top form for
the November 2003 SEMA show. The addition of the polished
Intercooled ProCharger system helped make this unique
car a head-turner at the show, as well as making it
a top performer on the street and at the track. This
R35 Skyline is a striking design and a definite departure
from the previous R34 model, which was very popular
in Asia. The new Skyline is nearly identical to the
Infiniti G35 Coupe sold in the United States, and features
the same 3.5L motor as the Nissan 350Z.
