The Stillen kit works fine to Ground out the TB's...It's just the instructions that are a little fuzzy. I noticed no difference in throttle response..

I'm sorry but you don't have that connected right. The Kit that I have runs the wires from the TB directly to the the battery.

The Stillen kit was not designed to do that.

I have a 370z Stillen kit and it's not setup the same as the Black Bettys kit.

No connected right? Huh?? Perhaps you do not understand the nature of grounds and ground systems. Not everything needs to run to the battery since it is grounded to the chassis. Any connection to the chassis is a connection to ground. Anybody can make a ground kit up with about $30 worth of wire and ends. This is not rocket science.

Yeah, seems somebody's butt dyno is reading rather optimistically.

M4 have you taken the injens off and noticed any difference?

I took the Injens off and no difference.

Though this latest mod seems to have solved everything and then some.

HA, love the shirt!
I test drove one, but haven't made the fix yet. So tempting. That 5.0 is VERY nice.

sooo uhhhh m4 I went the same route you did.. Got myself a 2010 Roush 427R and no more low rpm bogging issues! lol.

Keep it in the power band... that's what the close ratio gear box is for?

Daishi · 02-26-2011, 01:28 PM

Anyone have any updates on this?

1slow370 · 02-27-2011, 07:23 PM

somebody should make up a zero gauge ground kit would add like 100hp

the last post on this was awhile ago, but i just took my z in to get an oil changed 2 days ago. i noticed it didn't have as much balls as it did before i took it in immediately. the dealer used mobile 1 and they used the right weight (made sure to check after i noticed loss of power). I never had a problem will it being sluggish before the oil change. No one had any real input on here of what the problem could possibly be. just off subject about intakes.

Awesome! Those Roush 427Rs are very well done. Congrats.
