Default Stillen SC question

I just purchased a stillen super charger from a forum member. Current mods are listed in my sig. Now I know I have to remove my NST underdrive pulleys, do people recommend using the lightweight/stock size pulley or just the OEM one? I see that GTM does not recommend the lightweight version but sadly when removing them from the car I damaged the OEM pulley...

Second question involves the FI LTH. Has anyone successfully made equal or more power on a Stillen SC using the LTH set up? They were a pain in the *** to install and I just put them in about a month ago... I couldn't find much information on this one using search, so if there are any forum members who tried this set up please chime in! (Stillen does claim that using LTH is fine)

Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Keep your headers on I wouldnt take them off I dont think there are any 370z's with that combo.When I had my 350z with a Vortech blower I had headers made good power with less boost .Before I sold that kit that you have I was going to use headers my self.

Take the crank pulley off man I would never run that on any car get a OEM one.

If you have any questions about the kit dont hesitate to send me a pm.

Thanks for chiming in, bought it figuring I need to buy a new OEM alt/crank pulley, underdrive doesn't work and I would think the extra vibrations etc with the lightweight wouldn't be a good idea with forced induction.

I thought the guy who blew the motor put on headers and went for some WOT passes before retuning? I read the thread a while back. I'm not planning on doing something crazy like that haha.

He will see more than 9 pounds of boost with the stock Stillen pulley 10-11 Psi that's what I made with the kit .As long as he gets a good custom tune the headers won't be a problem at all .
