500-600whp would be nice

I don't think you're going to see 600WHP on the stock block at all (at least not for more than a few thousand miles if you're lucky). MAYBE 500WHP, and that'd be pushing it.

Kyle:
Have you done any testing on the stock 370 block to see what it can handle boost wise?

R&D is in full swing.. we don't typically talk about anything until we have everything completely dialed in.. it's a good thing Kyle has the right last name.. :)

We'll have more details as soon as we can.. and I don't think you guys will be disappointed..

I'm guessing 450hp.

Sorry for the noob question but what is the advantage of supercharging over turbocharging?

Instant power vs. waiting for the turbo to spool. Also (arguably) reliability, ease of install, maintenance. Turbos are great but for my specific goals of about 350-400 whp a supercharger will be just the ticket.

^ I wouldn't say "arguably". In my experience, both personal and second hand, turbo systems will require almost constant attention. You have to watch boost, temps, AFR's not to mention mechanical failures, bolts working loose, gasket leaks, manifold cracks, and coked bearings. Turbo's are leaps and bounds better than they were 15 years ago; however, there are still many more parts and variables involved in a turbo setup than a typical supercharged setup. I loved my turbo IS300 and I loved my Garrett Upgraded MazdaSpeed 6 but for this car I wan to give supercharging a shot. The obvious benefits of low end torque, ease of installation, system simplicity, and a warranty that Stillen hopes to offer make it an easy choice.

I had to throw in "arguably" just in case someone got all defensive and butthurt about it.

The other thing I forgot to mention is cost. A well put together turbo system will run you AT LEAST $10k, considerably more perhaps. With a supercharger I expect to have a kit available for $6-7k. Hopefully my figures won't be too far off.

I was shocked nobody made manifold style supercharger kits of the 300zx (z32). I know that the car was designed for TT, but 5-6PSI boost from a super would have been perfect for the N/A cars!

It was done but I don't think it was a kit and I don't know very much about it. I just know that I saw a video of one on youtube...Famous last line right?

Kyle,

Any new updates on the supercharger??? Also, you need to get over to this thread:

Need some input about your HFC's

No more info on the STILLEN forced induction solution yet my friend! It will take a few more months before we're ready to release any serious information.

Thanks for the heads up on the other thread, I'll head over there now.

Could you get the extra flow to take advantage of the larger displacement super charger by doing head work and getting a set of cams.

Also I haven't seen any one talk about engine management yet at all. I think being able to control the cam system will make alot of of power and torque on supercharged and turbo charged motors.

Moar info stillen... you are killing me :( hahahah

What is DTB?
