THis has all been proven multiple times by multiple people. Basically he is one of the few pwople on here that actually has a clue about what they are doing and try not to start fights in GTM's thread but keep in mind the new stillen kit is VERY different than the old one which had an undersized blower.

We should start a new thread to debate Stillen products versus the world. This is not the place. I can tell you, though, that there is nothing new about the Stillen SC kit for the 370Z except for the fact that they ditched the Eaton roots blowers and went Vortech centrifugal.
The design, layout, and routing of multiple unnecessary water lines is still the same. The moving of key wiring harnesses and parts is still the same. The gawdy and poorly placed coolant resevoir for pre-cooler is still the same. The necessity of wiring and relays for the ECM and pre-cooler coolant pump is still the same. It's a mess. Honestly, every Stillen kit I have seen looks like it was R&D'ed in someone's backyard.
I have zero against Stillen. I have had plenty of their products. From camber/toe arms to front bumpers to sway bars to full bolt on supercharger kits. Some had issues, others did not.
But, let me point out that we are talking about the supercharger kit. None of their other products. The Stillen products that you mentioned above are more for N/A cars than F/I cars...especially underdrive pulleys and headers. Again, Stillen makes some fine products. But, given the choice of the GTM SC kit or the Stillen SC kit, those of us with experience in the F/I arena would choose the GTM kit hands down.
