OR more likely i just completely missed the mark on this...like i always do... hihihihih

AA is adjusting more than just AFR, Im sure the timing is being adjusted and some other areas Im not aware of.

Steve, the ugly baby is just wierd! I was wondering why you pulled the hot chick! I was going to ask you to have her wash my car too!

LOL, this is really really off topic but I just have to share it.

I was driving to client site and I was watching this woman with HUGE knockers running after her toddler. She was wearin a really loose low cut shirt with no bra and those babys where bouncing so hard one of them popped out of her shirt!

She stopped dead in her tracks and stuffed it back in. That sooo made my day! funny too!!

there is a poll out...

http://www.the370z.com/forced-induct...ou-buying.html

DannyGT · 03-27-2010, 11:16 AM

I'll keep the poll clean and post my reasons here instead...

GTM

1. Performance (HP/TQ data) = Having a one size fits all technique does not work. More options mean better results for the end user without sacrificing as much. The fact that GTM has done what they have done with everything else stock only means the numbers will go up from here. Besides, the two are close in peak numbers but the GTM seems to have a much nicer 'overall' curve.

2. Price = Cant beat it right now.

3. Name Brand = Like I have told my EVO brothers, GTM is the AMS of Nissan/Infinite, nuff said.

4. Customer Service/Reputation = Seriously? Sam is the man. He has more hours under his belt on FI'd VQ37 motors than anyone. The fact is, on the forums, your not talking to a salesman, your talking to the guy that built and tuned your car. Great, Stillen has racing heritage...I also know 2 brothers that both got rid of Stillen SC setups on their 350z to opt for something else. You cant really go into a 350/Titan forums and bring up Stillen without flame fests. They might have racing in them but to me they always seem to find a way to mess something up on all of their kits. I hope they dont mess around with this car.

5. Warranty options = Standard

6. Reliability = No brainer, if you want to push above 500whp on a stock motor lets not talk about it. If your within their spec and you do your regular maintenance, well then, you should have no problems.

7. Aesthetics (Looks/Sound) = Stealth with just enough sound so those around you know you mean business...thats my style.

8. Have other parts by company already on car = I have a mix of both Stillen and GTM. What can I say? I have had zero problems with the Stillen intakes but like others it required me to hack up some holes (who cares, really) and the Exhaust you ask? Well I dont have to indulge much (where is the racing heritage in that piece? LOL) on that when it seems like 50%+ had issues with the exhaust. After a couple of months I hacked it up to something much cleaner. The GTM oil cooler and resonated test pipes have been no problems so far. Not to mention how important the 'little things' are, I really liked they included a thermostatic plate for the cooler when no one else was...

9. I didn't know...just went with what others told me! = No.

de_dust · 04-01-2010, 03:05 PM

can somebody please show me what the heat exchanger/inter cooler radiator of the stillen kit looks like and how it looks installed if possible?

KEVTEX · 04-02-2010, 02:22 PM

What happened to the GTM vs Stillen supercharger poll? It was very entertaining.

it asked me to login in to follow the link, so i'm guessing it was moved to a moderator only area for clean up or to be deleted. Must have gotten too fun for this forum.

After reading the oil cooler problems, the G37 turbo install, and every other negative storys about modifiying a 3.7. im thinking of keeping all the N/A mods and consentrating on my 350 with the stroker kit and the 850 ttbb's.
Who knows what problems will happen with either one of these kits.
I was thinking or installing the GTM turbo and cancalling the SC, but after reading the lateist post's i'm not sure what to do.
I have an oil cooler and tranny cooler coming from GTM.
I think that i will take the adapter and coolers and make my own lines.
I am having nightmares of what would happen if an oil line let go at 110 miles per hour while running down the 1/4 mile!!!
It could be " bye bye 370Z and lots of pain if it flips and hits the concrette barriers"
if the oil hits the back wheels.
Could be time to sell the Z and get the new mustang.
