Stillen super charger?

1.easy install?
2.average price after all is said and done;purchases needed such as cooling labor etc. included
3.are the gains worth it
Anyone with the kit feel free to chime in

Bolt ons?

1.full bolt on big difference from stock?
2.amuse body kit+bolt on tune worth driving on bc coils and no air ride? I would hate to rip off the bumper right after I got it done..
3.tuning options on a 7at.
-2 step
-is a underdrive pulley a good idea? and w a tune and everything done are the gains even felt?


I'm trying to make the desicion... re do the whole car in amuse and full bolt on(would look so goodbut not so quick..
Or super charge it and get to tip toe in the boost pond?
Hellppppp

What is your intentions for the ~Z~ ,,,street car with more zip,road race,Dragstrip,daily driver or pleasure ride?
What is your desired top speed,cruising speed and where do you want to see acceleration gain's (0-60,100,150)??? These are needed factors for bolt on's.
If your ~Z~ is a non-Sport or Nism; then you more than likely have an RC33 rear axle (open diff 3.357:1) it's a very high speed gear...175/5th,200mph,6th....so-put some of these goals out there & it will help you come to a solution.
I can't respond on the stillen kit: only bolt-on's-including gear swap,cruise rpm,top speed,etc...
Maximum whp will be 340 (+ or -) without spending more money than boost,,,also torque converter,valve body (Level 10 upgraded) for trans....
Multiple people make good oil coolers for engine & tranny (seams that seatrab type is preferred) ....just put out some Goals & we can spit out some information.

Also, seeing that you are in an 09', include mileage & any current performance or oil control issues that you may have.
Have a nice day....I'm going back to sleep ��

7at, 85k miles, oil just runs a lil hot, no cooling mods tho... just wanna get up in the mid 400 to the wheels... I know I won't get that with bolt ons but if it's not that big of a difference I might as well go full bolt cause I'm almost there... but I had some extra cash laying around and I wanna bump up to the supercharger.... but to be honest I would need a list of all that is needed EXTRA along with stillen kit to maintain a healthy running car.. but if it's to expensive I'll just full amuse and full bolt on tune and call it a day..


But I'd really just like to understand what's needed along with the kit or can I get away with just the still super charger kit and be fine? I know there's gotta be cooling and probably lots more that goes along with forced induction ahah I'm not very savvy when it comes down to this kinda stuff.. but definitely wanna learn!

Thanks

Stillen requires A2A conversion to be safe, which runs another $1500. Should also budget a clutch/CSC of your choosing.

Stillen only requires A2A if you want to make over 420whp safe. Its ok up to that point. Which is still 70whp more than bolt ons will give you. Or, up to 200whp more with the A2A kit.

It comes down to how efficient you want your money to work for you. How much hp per $.

Anyone know how much it costs to get 350whp NA?

Honestly, I bet anything over what the stock AT or clutch can hold is where the delta starts changing on the $/hp

Bolt ons if the Z is your only car, if it's your second then supercharge it

That'd sure be sad to spend that kind of money and leave all that whp on the table! You came up with an awesome retrofit!

I do my own installation of parts on my ~Z~ ... I only paid for the dyno-tuning & using premium parts/ 5,000 is a ballpark on 340ish whp. W/pump 93...& probably another 1-1500 to squeak out that other 10.
Please factor in a traction unit for your differential, as you will have issues with grip & the open diff is unsafe & can have you doing unexpected lane changes if you're staying in the throttle under wheel spin.
