^ That wouldn't be fair.

Given Steve's racing heritage, Sam might as well be riding a big wheel.

The more I think about it, that would be hilarious.

Ok, Steve Millens supercharged Z against GTM and Mike B :)

Not much per stage at all.

Lets see if I can get this back on track,

if a CBE makes about 15 whp and TQ then I would think the GTM numbers should jump that much thru out the rpms. A question I have is from the 4-7K rpm range which will make me faster tq or hp? And Im still trying to see what dyno GTM used? Oh and why 7.9 psi? does .1 really mean anything when it comes to fi?

I don't get it. Unless these two kits are tested on the exact same 370 on the exact same dyno on the exact same day (temp, humidity) then these debates on minor performance differences are meaningless. Then unless the kits are track reviewed by the same drivers the same holds true.
So I would just go for the one you like most for what ever reason or wait until there can be a true shootout review, which I suspect will be many months if ever. JMO

Well for me i will take GTM. Just because of my one simple reason, engine bay of GTM SC kit looks much stock looking setup. Comparing to stillens beutiful intake manifold. I just prefer simple looking sleeper status setup.
Noobies wont even know theres some extra ponies under the hood
(targeted to some of my ricer status friend)

I've been searching but can't find any posts that talk about this, can you put a FSTB over the Stillen kit? Do the 370Z's come with a stock one? Just the NISMO kit?

What are you asking for is impossible. I would be more than satisfied to see 2 370z's, same trans, baseline and final on same dyno, dyno SAE correction. Then compare the % increase. The cars would baseline on the same day and then come back for final results on the same day. With both companies in So-Cal, this is actually doable. Pick a 3rd party dyno for baseline and final numbers.

The FTSB will clear.

has anybody talked about condensation on the stillen's kit? please let me know why it wouldn't be a cause of concern... thanks...

Zsteve 03-13-2010 02:39 PM

Im waiting for intake temps from both kits during hard driving to see if they are doing a good job of keeping the temps down.

right now Im on the GTM side as the numbers are very close, and I think GTM will actually be a bit better with CBE, and I know the FMIC is proven already, as Stillen still needs to prove their cooler keeps temps down. I know they said 100 degrees cooler, but cooler than what? A 400 degree engine bay? Also $800 is a good portion of the install cost. Plus I will stay stage 1 and not upgrade.
