Good choice, I left my buddy's Stillen SC'd car like he was standing still. After a few runs he wanted to buy the GTM stage 2 to one up me! Go figure

I haven't rode in a TT 370z or G yet, but I'm sure an SC car would have to be putting down some healthy numbers to hang with a TT car. Plus SC cars can't just turn up the boost with the touch of a button. I've owned 4 turbo cars in the past, and this is my first SC'd one. I don't get that initial "kick you in the butt" torque feeling like I did with my turbo vehicles, but when once the boost starts building until redline this baby goes!

I figured it would hold up for a bit sense the power ranges are pretty close. Im sure from a dig the SC would have the lead before TT gets traction and do a clean pass.
Fastest TT on 1/4 was 11.4 Fastest SC on 1/4 is ??? |

No you wont I have had a SC 370z Stillen kit and Now a GTM TT it's night and day difference. A close friend of mine had a TT 370z while I was SC we would run all the time. At first before he got is tires and suspension set up correctly I would leave him because of traction. But once he got it all set up right I would get pulled. Now the SC is fun and quick but you have to rev it to get the power out of it. I had a 350z SC 370 SC now TT 370z and I love the TT.

I chose the supercharger because I don't plan on building my motor and for less stress on my internals. If I decide to TT next time, I will be sure to build my block like you did for plenty of abuse.

I agree with you on running TT on a built motor. Running TT on stock block is just asking for something to go boom. Lol. I'm guess SC is very safe on stock for making 500whp with 1.5 SC KIT.

Yes, it can be safer on a stock block if custom tuned properly. Remember with superchargers things can still go boom! Have you seen the ESS kits for the E92 M3's? Look at the potential those things have with a supercharger. Yes, I we don't have V8's, but with the right supercharger VQ's can put down similar numbers.

Not sure what pulley size the 370z kit comes with. You would have to call and speak to Sam at GTM about that. I do highly recommend a Meth injection kit to help keep boost levels consistent in all types of conditions.
