^Good point, but the 370Z is such a better car, with a s/c, bolt-ons + tune, the car will def be a beast, I've been in a 350Z that had a vortech S/C + bolt-ons/tune and it was one of the fastest cars i've been in, so I def know who ever supercharges a 370Z should be more then happy with the results

I never mentioned anything about a track. I would never track a car with forced-induction that came NA from the factory.

Which is why I'm not fixated on E.T. as it is relatively meaningless to me. What does matter however is trap-speed, where the data is equally as unimpressive.

I agree that not everyone has $20K+ to throw at a proper turbo setup, and even if they do...I'm sure they have more sense than to spend that much on engine-modifications when they could have bought a faster car to begin with (LOL...like one just as fast as the end-product in bone-stock trim, for less than G37/370 MSRP + $20K). Still, going forced-induction, even with a kit marketed as "relaible" which only nets you an extra <80 RWHP makes little sense to me. From what I've seen thus far, the gains from SC setups do not warrant the cost when you compare it a bolt-on car.

to each their own I guess, but 450whp to me is solid, reliable, daily driven power. I dont require much more. Now, should I want more, a smaller pulley, meth injection, tune, etc, 550-600whp is easily doable. Good power gains at half the cost. No lag, just balls out demonic juice with the stomp of a foot. BRING ON THE SUPERCHARGER JOSH!!!!!

I'd rather have a 450whp reliable car with a flatter torque curve I can use than a dyno/highway queen. 600whp for 500rpm is not faster than 450whp for 3k RPM. Nor is it as drivable, nor is it as predictable and it will be slower getting up to speed (lag/traction issues)....granted it will come back after 3rd gear and kill the 450whp car on top end, but how usable is that...

very usable! im a big fan of turbos, but a supercharger could do this car well. alot of ppl were very disappointed with the stillen stage 3/4 supercharger kit for the 350. this engine seems to respond to mods completely differently, so im hoping it does well. and stillen has great quality and customer service. i think more than half of us on here that have modded have at least one stillen part.

Hey Guys,

We are definitely working on this. Without question the announcement of the release of this kit was in no way an official announcement from STILLEN. Some random guy who is in no way affiliated with STILLEN had posted up that they were going to be running a STILLEN supercharger on a One Lap of America 370Z and that made everyone think we were hiding something when really, we had only just begun development.

We then had to push development back a little bit because of the GT-R race car. We had a very tight deadline to build, test, and prepare that car for the rally and unfortunately, other projects got pushed to the side until we could complete the GT-R. But, now the GT-R is finished, it's out of sight out of mind and we're full throttle again on the forced induction solution for the VQ37.

Like Josh said, it's great to see all of the positive feedback and all of the interest/demand. We won't disapoint you with this kit and I'm sure you will all love it!

I beg of you on my knees to go twinscrew if it's still early development. Oh and pressure haltech into making a platinum pro ecu as well. Also a 500+ stage 4 for those of us in the 47 contiguous states that don't have San Fransisco in them and don't know what an exhaust probe looks like or does.

Frankly, I could not care less about CARB exemption. It would be nice if they would have an "unrestricted" version of thir products without having to hold back and cater to CARB requirements while maintaing the Stillen reliability/warranty.

For what it's worth, I'm 20 miles south of San Francisco and even have views of it from my property. Ask me if I care about smog-tests and/or CARB.

exactly what I'm sayin man. They need to make a "Stage Balls Out" or a "Stage FTMFW" Personally if I owned a mod company there would be a regular and a "Bubba's gonna bend that Camaro over and make it his B***H! kit"
