Not sure how but I suddenly own a 2012 370z with a Stillen Supercharger & LOTS more!

Don't go messing with the supercharger... as stated above. Especially the impeller. I have the 9 lb pulley already but I would not have added it if it didn't have it already. Be happy with the 500bhp (430ish to the wheels) and keep your engine together. Make sure it is tuned and tuned properly. They can be a pain in the rear to get right. I know, mine is at the shop. Enjoy the car. It is a pretty car. It is fun to drive. It tends to turn heads. But most importantly, you like it.

Wow, great first post. And yes, please get your FI checked out. Congrats!

Good tunning shops are RT Tunning and Real Auto Dynamics

The only upgrade to the kit that seems to be a good idea is swapping out the heat exchanger.

You now have plenty of car. Before you modify it listen to other Super charged owners. We all could benefit from driving classes and with a monster like yours, learning to drive it at a track would be fun.

All the best.

Hey guys, thanks a lot for all the comments and suggestions!

The car has been operating very well and is always very responsive when pushed hard. I feel like the tune is only very slightly off but it's not that bad at all. Just needs a bit of a tweak..

As for getting the car tuned, I'm def on it. I'll def look into the shops suggested here. I was going to give API tuning in Yonkers a call today as they have a video online of a supercharged 370z getting some good numbers. Threre's another tuning shop on Long Island that seems to be good too. If anyone in my area has experience with getting their Stillen Supercharged car tuned at a place nearby with good results def let me know..

A lot of bad things I read about superchargers usually isn't about the charger itself being the issue as much as something I call- operator failure. If you push anything too hard, too often, it's going to break. If you use it more conservatively, it'll be fine. People used to talk all kinds of shizah about the supercharger in my last car but it always worked great and never gave me any issues. I may just stick with a proper tune and not upgrade things further. Esp if people have been having issues..

Like I said in my original post, I haven't been 22 in a long time so I have a fair amount of experience with driving cars and motorcycles. While this thing is a beast, I'm not one to push my limits further than I'm comfortable with. I've mostly just been taking it easy with the occasional huge parking lot visit to mess around in a safe area. That being said, if I end up tracking it I would def want to take some courses to learn how to use it to it's fullest..

The car was in fact purchased at East Coast Nissan. As for the dog crapping in the cabin joke, had-har. I didn't see any stains or smell anything off about it. Even if I did I wouldn't give two fuchs considering what's under the hood. There could've been a dead body in the thing for all I care, lol!

I'll keep my eye on the nnj car meet thread and post any updates/upgrades I make to the car here. Seems like it's all going to be about styling and stance since the performance angle is pretty well covered..

Thanks again guys! More from the car once I have some cash money to burn on it :-)

Awesome car, and I agree with takin off the CF wrap junk! I also am going to concur with the other poster who recommended taking some driving lessons. I've seen a number of people get new high powered cars and wrap them around a tree the next week.

Also, if it doesn't have an oil cooler I would highly recommend getting one since it's supercharged.

I believe Real Auto Dynamics are in long island, I do not have a supercharger but I took my z there for some test pipes install very professional and friendly...I've see them install a lot of FI on Z's mostly turbos but they have done plenty of superchargers as well...also they are a sponsor here

Congratulations on the car! As everyone else said leave the upgrades alone. I track my car with the Stillen SC on it and it runs great. The biggest problems with the stock kit are getting it tuned right and keeping it cool. If it doesn't have a oil cooler it will run veery hot when the weather gets warn. Enjoy the car.
