In truth, there is no comparison between the two kits as far as aesthetics go. Absolutely no way that a cover could make the coolant resevoir or gawdy intake piping with bracket remotely appealing. Nothing will change about how the coolant hoses from a poorly designed intercooler/pre-cooler are draped across the valve covers and how the main wiring harness is relocated. This, again, is typical of these kits. My Pathfinder kit was obtrusive and developed poorly. Just from the few pictures shown in the Stillen thread, I can tell the same mistakes have been repeated. The level of Research and Development between the two kits is painfully obvious. Last edited by stormcrow; 02-28-2010 at 05:31 PM. |

My thoughts, opinions, facts stem from actually having purchased, installed and utilized a Stillen kit. If you prefer them, so be it. If you want to be educated, read the root thread of the links I am about to post as the links are solely my responses. A LOT more great information in that thread. MY350Z.COM Forums - View Single Post - Stillen Super Charger for the HR? - Post 184 MY350Z.COM Forums - View Single Post - Stillen Super Charger for the HR? - Post 187 As you can see, I have a lot of experience with F/I cars. And I just traded my 09 GT-R in for the 2010 370Z Nismo so that I could have yet another project car. As far as Sam putting me up to this, well, since I am east coast and 30 miles from Forged Performance, you do the math. Though, maybe I should ask Sam to put me on the payroll. EDIT - links are leading to same post even though they are different URLs. For those interested, check post 184 and 187 of the above posted thread. Last edited by stormcrow; 02-28-2010 at 06:07 PM. |

Feel free to PM me with any information you find pertinent to your side of the debate. It doesn't have to be here or in any other thread. But, there is no refuting actual experience...the experience that I have had with a Stillen designed supercharger kit.

For the record, whether or not the kit is for the 370, 350, Tundra or Pathfinder, they are all the same basic components with the same basic R&D. And as stated above, I can visually see, from the pictures posted by Kyle in the Stillen thread, the same poor product design in the 370Z kit as was in my Pathfinder kit. EDIT - Apologies, Sam, for taking your thread so far off-topic. I am truly sorry. Ending such now. Last edited by stormcrow; 02-28-2010 at 07:20 PM. |

He said project car, the Z parts are cheaper than a GT-R so for a project car it is better.

I really wanna check those links out but I've been banned from my350.com for "harassment" to a mod by telling him "my bad, don't hurt me with your e-jiu jitsu". What a bunch of ******* tards. Keep this debate up though ! I know who I like better and it isn't Stillen not based off of personal experience but off of other peoples in the past. I do like their g3 intakes though.

So how many of you guys are actually going to buy the GTM kit?
Yes i had a stillen on my 350, You would not believe what broke on it. Yes i hurt my motor with it. In defence of stillen they did send me all the parts to fix it and yes they paid me for the labour that the dealer charged me to fix it.. I think thats its a great daily driver SC at 10 lbs boost on my ported M-62 blower, What broke on it . intercooler cooling pump, the pulley assembly drive shaft between the blower and the crank pulley. It only made 303 rwhp. I have bought tons of parts from Sam at GTM ( 4.2 stroker) and when we spoke about the SC , i decided to by it because it looked like a 400 hp kit and thats all i need. 417 rwhp or more is a lot of power in a 370. Now add 2 more lbs of boost and you may get 446, Do you guys know how much rwhp a stock GTR has. ( 417 rwhp). Now we have car which is aprox 700 lbs lighter with the same rwhp, It will be handful to drive, I call my GTM SC a poor mans GTR, Its going to be a great drag race in the 1/4 mile.
