This is from an online mag called "Super Street Network" in April 2012 about the 370Z Stillen Supercharger:

Stillen VQ37 Supercharger System - Import Tuner Magazine

"The air inlet was engineered using a Y-pipe–designed cast-aluminum intake tube that relocates the MAF sensors, retaining a “draw through” configuration. The MAF sensors are located in front of the forced-induction device to get an accurate reading of air volume. Stillen chose this route simply because this is what Nissan recommends, and over the years, have learned that the MAF sensor that Nissan uses is not designed to be “blown through”, or post forced induction. Two examples would be the Nissan GT-R and the 300ZX in which both cars use a draw-through MAF sensor setup."

What do you guys think about "Nissan recommends draw-through"?
It contradicts having MAF sensors on the "forced" side.

It cant be that way because the car doesn't get true AITs that way.

What if you use two sets of MAF's and splice the wires. One set for draw through air, one set in the hot side for AIT?

I talked to the owner of the shop that made the pipes and it's going back to him on Monday to be redone. Unfortunately this probably means its going to be a lot longer wait until I get the car back.

If u need a 4bar u should go with this one from Omni

OMNI 4BAR Map Sensor – Visconti Tuning

When I was speaking to Seb a few weeks back about remote tuning with EcuTek he highly recommended that I go with a GM3BAR Map sensor or switching to the Omni which is a direct bolt on replacement.

Pics of Dogs Looking Out Windows. The Official Thread.

JWillis72 SC'r'd Yellow Jacket is now over 100 days in the shop ...
Mines still in the shop as well ... latest hold is the gauges configuration ~ installation ...
An-n-nd waiting on some other small parts to-o-oo.

GaleForce [Jason] is custom fabricating a cubby console for me to house 2 gauges.
It'll be super nice when it's done.
Might even leave it in the shop over the winter - they are working on their own Intake Manifold in January...[insert drool here].
One good thing about all this is that the average yearly mileage is going down in leaps and bounds !!!
Pretty soon I'll have a low mileage car

No problem. Yeah hopefully he can help out. I think when you get SD working right, you are golden.

Honestly bro, I would drop the SD, it seems like its going to be a nightmare.

Go with One charge pipe - maybe 4.5"-5" with the maf extenders. put a honeycomb before the mafs and call it a day. This would be the most cost and time effective route.

Remember, we know this works to some extent, my car idles better than the stillen kit, the response and drivability is a 100% better. Your shop could make that pipe in a few hours.

What are MAF extenders?

The slot you slide and screw the MAF into comes in different sizes. There's a standard and an extended version. It basically moves the sensor closer to the outside of the pipe so you gain 'cheat' and gain a little more out of the sensor. My 3" intake tubes Sasha built me have the extenders and my tuner uses them all the time to gain that little extra.
