Agreed, I don't think it's going to destroy the project or hurt sales if we know it's going to be a centrifugal rather then a roots or twin screw style.

if they release after the tt kits come out they will lose sales imo,
i would infer that it would be out around the same time the tt kits are out.

I dont think it will hurt. A TT and a SC are two different animals IMO. Those that want a SC are only looking for a modest gain in hp/tq but those that want a TT are looking for huge gains. I only want around 80 more hp/tq with a SC so that hopefully it will be more of a install and forget mod. A TT would need constant tweaking IMO. I will be waiting and watching to see how the SCs do and thier reliability and if all goes well have one in a yr after they have it all worked out and reliable. But I would like to know what type it will be now if possible.

I am hoping its not a roots type blower like the one for the 350z. I am hoping they use the TVS/rotex system or similar as it looks great on paper! HKS and GTM are using it with very impressive results. If Stillen is going this route we can definitly expect up to 450 rwhp and 375 tq. I am willing to wait and see what Stillen has to offer before I choose which way to go. I was at first all over the idea of going twin turbo with AAM but the more I talked with them the more extensive the project was going to be and the cost went from 10K to 15K really quick and I got cold feet and walked away. After taking a step back I truly feel a well designed supercharger system will more than satisfy my ND4SPD. I have been very happy with all of my Stillen mods, so much i display it proudly on my windshield, so most likely thier new supercharger will ultimatly end up under my hood.

As I have said in this thread and others, our biggest delay, was caused by the Targa Newfoundland rally car. We've actually been working on the supercharger since early 2009 or late 2008 (don't remember exactly when we started) but when the development of the GT R rally car began, we had to put some of our other projects on hold. |

(this going off sales threads in general discussion, but I may be remembering the numbers incorrectly) Even then, in this economy, performance cars generally don't do very well, and drop off horribly in favor of cheaper... |

At the end of the day, Steve just wanted to go play in Newfoundland with his GT R and it had to be ready by September LMAO!!! On a serious note though, we are planning on sitting down at the beginning of next week to discuss what information we can release. We all agree that it's about time that we offer some more details on the kit as we are pretty far along in the development process. I just need to ask the Manager's what they're comfortable talking about. |

That may be true, but they drastically cut back production. They were hoping to sell 40K Zs this year IIRC...
