Default Stillen Supercharger help!

Hi, new to this site and to a 370Z. Just bought a 09 black on orange 370Z and wanted to supercharge it over the winter with a Stillen tuned kit and wanted some help on what else the car will need apart from the kit. Will I need a stronger clutch or sway bars, oil spacer kit or anything else. I just want to do it right and not have any issues.

Thanks
Brad

Welcome!
1. Search feature
2. You ditch Stillen and get the GTM stage 1.5
3. Clutch you will need eventually, same with a CSC. Maybe check out a new flywheel while you're at it.
You will obviously need at LEAST 1 - 34 row oil cooler, a spacer won't hurt, maybe get GTM's new oil pan

Mayyyybe an ungraded radiator, but mandatory. Go with a CSF. If/when you do, shoot me a PM. I'll hook you up


Besides that, look at point 1

Spend some time reading these:
Forced Induction Finished Builds
370z Forced Induction for Noobs...

On that note, things to consider.
-Oil cooler is required
-Custom tune is required (this will also allow for fan speed adjustment)
-Clutch/flywheel/csc will need to replaced at some point, can do it now to maybe cut down on some labor cost
-Gauges, you will need to monitor the car beyond the normal gauges. Preferably boost, AF ratio, and possibly oil pressure. Many options, can replace the 3 factory gauges, run a carPC or obd2 reader with extra sensor.
