RCZ - I will reply here instead of in PM for two reasons:
One, I am not here to make friends. I am here for the same reasons I have been on my350z, g35driver, mygfrenzy, 350zmotoring, NAGTROC, et al and this is to learn, to share and to try and better the community that I am currently involved with. I may be new here, but as I have explained before, I am certainly not new to this game. You, like many others, tend to look at someone's "join date" and downplay what they say as their being 'noobish'. But, in this instance you couldn't be more wrong. My join date signifies when I purchased a 370Z. Before then, I had no reason to be on this forum partaking in what it has to offer. In case you didn't bother to read, I came from a GT-R.
Secondly, you have been on my heels since my first post in the GTM thread. You have tried to negate anything positive I have said in reference to the GTM SC kit and have shown yourself a Stillen groupie. I don't discount your loyalty to Stillen. It's all well and good. But, when you jump on your "Holier than thou" soapbox while trying to discredit my experience and opinion, this is where I call a spade a spade. So, I owe you nothing and my response to you will be public. Now on to that.

You were also right about smaller compressor housing producing torque earlier, but you failed to mention that the smaller housing is a huge limiting factor on hp. Upgrading compressors is a hell of a lot more money than changing a pulley and a map.

Thank you for admitting that I am correct. You will find that I firmly believe in posting things that I know to be fact instead of conjecture. But, your stating that I did not address that the smaller housing is a limiting factor for horsepower is incorrect. I quote myself from post #837 of this thread - please note text in bold:

The plus side of this? More power to be had when running higher boost as the larger blower will not run out of steam as quickly.

In fact if I didn't know this forum better and I came in and saw the last few pages where it seems that Stillen is dodging your psi questions, it would actually be a huge deterrent to buying it. I highly doubt you have done anything for them except letting them show their professionalism. "Any publicity is good publicity"? That's also not true at all on a forum full of informed buyers. In here bad publicity is bad publicity, specially so when they are in direct competition with another product launch.
You can backpedal all you want now and apologize, but you chose to come in here with an attitude and I still haven't seen you make a single positive contribution. This little "I'm sorry, but it wasn't my fault" speech isn't going to win you any friends either.
Just calling it like I see it. Everyone here that knows me knows I'm a nice guy, but I don't sit quietly when someone with no history comes in and dishes out insults left and right.
If you want to talk, refrain from posting here and PM me off this thread.

For positive contributions, either wait or check my other posts in different threads. Granted, nothing of true significance yet, but there will be. That said, there is no backpedalling on my behalf. I have asked, on multiple occasions, for Kyle to post the PSI used to produce the posted dyno chart. He has adamantly refused. Whether for good or for bad, I respect his decision and will not continue to rehash the same issue. I will leave others to decide what they think of the reasoning posted. I did feel the need to extend a minor apology to Kyle for being as crass as I was in some posts, but this stems from my own conscience, not from any desire to "win friends".
As far as the publicity goes...well, the onus is on Stillen to handle the
PR however they see fit. If someone chooses not to buy the kit based on my questions, so be it. If they choose to buy the kit based on a disdain for me, so be it. My ultimate goal is to have truth in advertising and transparency from the vendors we support. I am sorry that you cannot grasp this concept.
