80% is kind of a strange way of putting it, as you would normally state this in degrees. But 80% would be 288 degrees, I've looked at the pictures, but it seems with that pulley they have about 240 degrees wrap. The 80% was probably with a larger pulley then the one in the picture, or it's just the angle of the picture. The "rule" is that if you want a minimum of 180 degrees. Higher boost level means it needs more power to operate, so the more belt wrap you would want. Although even harder to see on the few Stillen pictures. It looks like both systems meet this criteria easily for their set ups. So both systems are more then adequate to meet this design criteria and you shouldn't have any issues here.

so belt wrap is no issue with either kit, both put out about same numbers give or take a few, same price range, but I still like the fewer moving parts for reliability so I will be going GTM when I do this. IM sure the other kit is a reliable one too but Im just more comfortable with the GTM kit right now. Nowing my luck and the local talent here for installs I would get one of those installs we had a month or so back in here (Im sure we all remember those threads) and would be running down the street and my water pump breaks or something like that. So gotta go with fewer moving parts. I think if the car came stock with the air to water and was completely covered under warrenty and all it might be good but I got to go with the tried and true FMIC and for other reasons too.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember seeing that stillen offered a 3 year warranty if anything went wrong with the sc or engine.

Im not sure, they will warranty the whole engine and kit even if they think the problem wasnt related to the kit? Lets something went wrong but it wasnt really the kit that casued it, would they still fix it? And should I say the install shop will still fix it? Cuz more than likely Nissan wont touch it now and it would be a hell of a fight with them to prove or disprove the cause. I guess same question for GTM too on this.
