As mentioned before, all kits will get heatsoaked. If I've been doing back to back Dyno runs I'll lose 20 - 25whp. If I let the motor (supercharger) cool down for about 10 minutes I'll make the power back immediately. Unfortunately, you're only "simulating" numbers on the rollers, so once you're on the road, who knows what power is being made / lost.
Methanol will help with the combustion temperatures, but won't help with the heatsoak on the blower. That's next on my agenda.

Ive had my Stillen kit on for 5 months now (in the crazy midwest heat this year), and have had no problems at all. AMS dyno tuned it for me back in early May. There is power drop due to heat soaking...however every system encounters this. Actually Porsche is notorious for power loss in high heat...so this really is nothing new.

Hi there
I drive my "Z" since 15,000 km (Miles??) The force is almost constant at high temperatures (somewhat limited on the summer temperatures, as with any other turbocharged car) I can tell you one thing: If the STILLEN kit is perfectly matched, the pleasures are just awesome! Dear greetings from Switzerland Ivo

My Stillen powered car seems to pull even better when it's warm.
Here it is on second run on a hillclimb during 90 to 95 degree weather! Hoopa hillclimb 2012 - 370z - YouTube

Just a random question, You have to completely remove the sway bar while having the supercharger in? or is there a modified sway bar you can put in?

I am not sure if you are talking about the sway bar because it is on the bottom of the car, i think you are talking about the brace that goes across the engine bay. then you do remove it to make installation easier but you put it back with no clearance issues. here is a pic.

It will fill you will have to move some things around but it will, Going to look like a front mount intercooler. The GTM guys have no problems running the tranny and oil coolers with their Front mounts.

Couldn't be happier with this kit. I had the Stillen Supercharger installed on my 2013 G37 Sport 6MT just last Friday and she's running amazing. Currently I have the Stillen SC with a 9PSI pulley/Stillen Oil Cooler/Fast Intentions Resonated HFC's and GTHAUS CBE. She put down 422 RWHP on a Mustang dyno and the car is a blast to drive. Currently I'm on the stock clutch/flywheel but that will be my next mod to swap it out for somthing better. So far so good

Guys, did everyone order their stillen kit from Stillen? or is there any company that packaged all those upgrade - custom 9 to 10 psi pulley, frozen boost heat exhanger, upgraded line etc and sent together as a kit. Just wonder if we could save some money instead of having a small heat exhanger which we're not going to install anyway.
