Thanks for the obvious.

I’m going there in a few. Sometimes I really don’t think. I think I was asking for personal opinions, but I bet there are a lot in the FI sections.

Thanks Christian!

OK, now I know what I did wrong.

I wasn't taking a dig at you, I apologize if it seemed that way. Many things get lost in translation on the internet but your OP made it appear like you had not seen the threads yet. You can get all the opinions you could ever want in the GTM and Stillen Supercharger threads, that is without a doubt!

I personally would go with GTM simply because it is more of a subtle modification with all the new hardware sitting further down in the engine bay. The only downside I see to the GTM kit is the Rotrex supercharger is not upgradable like the Vortech unit from Stillen; this means that if you want more power down the road, you need to get a complete larger Rotrex unit.

The hardware with the Stillen kit is not a problem, just the monkey business regarding their tuning. If you want to get it tuned, that might be the best option out there for future upgradeability and a bit more flash under the hood.

but he is building a show car, so he wouldn't want subtle.

Wow Dean, really pushing the envelope huh? Would be crazy if we could get the S/C on by sema. You might want to talk to Stillen b/c if your going to sema, they will probably help out and you can do the custom tune.

We were really hesitant on the targa. SO much could go wrong with this mod. We were assured that it would be just fine. Well, we are looking into the SC with Z1 Motorsports. They have something up there sleeve and we are not sure of what it is. With all the bad news, and then some very recent good news with the SC dilemma, we may just get it done. We will know in a week. I am glad I read those posts. Stillen is a great company, but sometimes things do have unanticipated bugs. I.e. Microsoft’s OS. If the hardware is perfect, then the software just needs tuned.

have a pretty simple set of questions for getting the car ready for a supercharger. first, i have a nismo 370 and im assuming all will fit exactly the same. but anything over the base model is using the syncro rev thing..... that being said will the setup mess with that feature? Ive never seen this question brought up before and that really surprises me. Another question is, is that viscous rear really goin to hold up to 500+ BHP? ive heard some stories already that its getting its *** kicked just by the cars factory HP with some rough driving. Im not looking forward to putting something like this on if i have to modify every damn thing on the car. its bad enough that nissan put a POS single plate clutch in the car that you have to change out.
