Never mind I see in the post that went out while I was typing this one.

Lastly, Stillen has yet to even test this on a 370; we don’t know what (if any) changes are going to have to be made. We can’t race to conclusions, especially with their rep on the 350 kits. In reality, the race has only begun.

I like it when people disagree respectfully and you make valid points Danny. If we always agreed then this forum would suck.
They made the manifold the way they did because it was the best solution for using what they thought was the best option as far as supercharger. They must have done a good amount of R&D to completely design a piece from scratch and make it work as well as they have. I haven't heard anything from GTM as far as what they are doing for testing or whether it has survived testing if they did. The only thing I know from GTM is that they are taking payments up front for a kit that afaik hasn't been tested. That bothers me a little bit, but it must be just me. How long has GTM been working on this kit? I am not saying its a bad kit, dont misunderstand me, I just don't see how it is any different than any sc kit that has come before it. I think the Stillen one has more research in it and it has things like water cooling that I welcome with open arms. Stillen was working on a Monster GT-R project before the Z! As far as the fabrication and ingenuity being more extensive, please give me an example of that. Stillen hasn't tuned anything but a CARB legal car either, so.. What difference does it make if its on a 370 or not? its not going to affect any major design parts of it. Power is only going up from where it is now. You know I have lots of respect for you, so take this as the discussion it is and nothing personal please. |

RCZ, this is just a guess too but in some of the engine management programs I've seen the fuel/timing curves just continue at a linear rate if they go off the map (over the RPM range). We'll see what Kyle says.

1. Why is the amount of boost not being shown? 2. The design to me just looks old, while the GTM kit screams refinement. But thats probably more of an opinion, no big deal.

1) We feel that boost pressure is really a part of the press release, so we're going to hold off on releasing that magic number until we're ready for the press release. 2) This is very much a personal opinion, some people will love the design and some will not. Just my opinion, but rather than saying the STILLEN supercharger looks old, I think it looks more like a traditional muscle car where everything is out in the open. If you prefer the stealth look then yes, the GTM kit is undeniably stealthier than the STILLEN kit. Aesthetics are very personal. Some people will say "I dont want anyone knowing what I have under my hood." Other people will say "If I'm spending $XXXX.XX I want to see it!" |

At the end of the day reliability is the most important because both kits as of right now (and I'm sure in the future) will be close in HP. Personally I love all this, I think both companies will be OK and if the competition makes both of them stronger than I'm all for it... RCZ - lets meet somewhere in the middle when both of our cars are done and put on a show for the forum, huh huh??

Speaking of HD - did you see the new GoPro camera's? HD, better sound, more memory - same size! I'm going to get one this week and test it out.

I guess everyone assumes GTM has not put their S/C through rear world stress tests because they didnt post videos? I remember Sam saying in previous threads prior to their TT release that road testing was neccesary before pubic release, no reason to think they wouldnt do this on their S/C.

And I'm predicting a Stillen vs. GTM shootout between RCZ and Danny, I wanna get in on this!

i don't know if its more funny or sad that we have guys talking about driving hundreds of miles to meet for a shoot out between the kits when the two companies are probably less than 50 miles apart, and could meet at the track themselves! Stillen... how long for this press release? Right now my thought is that if you made more power with equal or less boost than that "other kit" that it would have been posted with the graph. That could just be the way i think though. Looking forward to more info. |

We'd be more than happy to put our 370Z on the track.. absolutely! We have full intentions of doing just that..
Full press release won't be long, we just want to get the kit on the 370Z, which is in progress now as we've mentioned, and we'll be good to go. |
