OP....considering ur experience with cars the install should be a breeze...average time for install with experienced mechanics is 10-12hrs....ur right....the most challenging part is the manifold bolts on the left side (right side when facing motor).....very tight and u have to nail down the bend with the wrench tool that comes with the kit in order to torque it.....

If you are gonna get coolers (I.e. oil cooler, trans cooler, Frozenboost Heat Exchanger) keep in mind ur real estate in front of your radiator will be taken up.....A lot of people talk about getting better cooling cuz of heat soak, but the way I look at it these cars run hot and heat soak even when running N/A......so the heat soak is not a new issue and isn't necessarily caused by the Supercharger as these cars run hot to begin with......Investing in better cooling is best for both N/A or F.I. when using the 370Z/VQ as a platform. Going with the Frozenboost Heat Exchanger and the CSF Triple Pass Radiator are great upgrades....u could also go replace ur thermostat to either a Nismo thermostat or an 08 G37 Thermostat which open up at lower temps compared to the stock thermostat in the Z's......from what Ive read these thermostats are better options over the Mishimoto one that is poor in quality and throws CELs. Again these cooling options all depend on ur weather. ..

You will be happy with this kit if this is ur range.....did u go for the Tuner or Full kit? Tuner version u will have to get a custom tune which will bring u close to the WHP u are looking at...The canned tune will only initially get u over 300WHP, but Stillen will work with you to get u to where u want to get the car if ur WHP goal is up.in the 400's.....It's a longer process versus getting a custom tune done, but not everyone have those options as good tuners are hard to find.

Thanks Bolio 671 for all of the info. That is what I have been looking for.

I have not purchased the kit yet, that will take place next spring. I'm planning on doing the purchase through Z1 Motorsports and let them help me with the tune. Those guys are great to work with and are only about three hours from me. My plan is to see how much $$ I have to work with in the May time frame and let them guide me on what fits my budget at the time. I can always add to the build later. That is the thing about cars, you can change things that you don't like and make it work better. Too bad that doesn't work for life in general!
