Im thinking there will be a .001% the G3s will be compatible with the SC kit. In fact I cant think of a single SC kit ever that was compatible with the NA intake.

^Ya, that's why I'm waiting for Stillen to release some info.

Everything I have read on here report that Headers reduce torque on the 370. The gains in hp are very nominal and in my opinion are not wort the cost and hassle of installation.

If you have the Sport package with the 14" brakes, i dont see how these brakes are inadequate in anyway.

The exhaust and intake upgrades are a definite improvment in sound and in power. I installed the Stillen G3 intake, HFC's, and CBE and it was well worth it.
I was informed from Stillen that the plan is to be able to utilize the G3 intake in conjuction with the supercharger. They are still planning to use the eaton roots type blower but a low profile version to allow lower clearance.

If you plan on getting our supercharger then I would recommend holding off on the intakes or the headers. Also don't bother getting an aftermarket tuner as the kit will come with one. Also, the kit will be designed to work with the factory tuning, any modifications to your factory ECU will only complicate the installation.

Reasons:

Intake- Obviously there are going to be a lot of changes made to the intake system of the car. I know that our VQ35 supercharger worked with a lot of aftermarket intakes but there is no guarantee that the Gen. 3's will work, most likely they won't.

Headers- On the VQ35 we found that the headers resulted in a one psi drop of boost. Wait for us to test them before purchasing and installing headers or intakes.

Other parts of the car to prepare in the mean time:

Exhaust
High flow cats
suspension
brakes
body work
wheels and tires

Kyle: If I cant use my G3 intake with the Stillen supercharger what are my options:

Will there be an intake system provided with the Stillen supercharger?

Or will I have to put the stock intke back in. (this wouldnt make sense)

Kyle@STILLEN 10-30-2009 02:56 PM

It's too early to really say what the options are because the kit is not completed. If the Gen. 3 intakes do not work then the factory intakes won't work either. Which means that the kit will have to come with an intake.

Keep in mind that if you add an intake today, you will definitely be able to sell it down the line when the s/c becomes available.

Thanks Kyle for providing the info I've been looking for, I can't wait to see the new intake manifold, as well as the Price/Hp & Tq numbers.
