Kyle, are you using your own tuning software or bringing in another company? (Like copp, uprev, etc.)

Zsteve 01-27-2010 08:11 PM

We are still waiting on the intercooler that is going into the manifold. This is integral when it comes to performance and tuning. Without the intercooler and all that hot air going into the engine we have to pull a bunch of timing and err on the side of caution so the dyno numbers won't be as good. Once the intercooler comes in we will be able to get more aggressive with the tuning and should be ready to release some numbers soon after.

Steve and our engineers have been reviewing the kit components and we've been sitting down to discuss pricing. We should have an answer shortly on where we lie for pricing. We may even be taking pre-orders pretty soon.
Good to hear, Kyle. :tup:

I hope you are ready to be disappointed go on over to the vortech site and look at how much a base kit for 03-06 350z costs or hear let me do it for you 5,945.95 that is factory direct so the supercharger itself doesn't get cheaper than that, the fuel tunning is done through the uber cheap (and failure prone) turboxs utec, there is no custom manifold, there is no inter cooler, and if you are basing you're 5,000 dollar mark on the old stillen kit, a vortech V3 costs upwards of 2,500 dollars an mp62 costs less than 1500 so there is AT LEAST a 1000 dollars more cost than the old kit

really dont know if I can do a $8K kit for 100 extra hp. Might just have to do the LSD and different gears then.

I dont think you should worry about it. One of the biggest advantages of a supercharger kit is the cost. $8k is twin turbo territory.

I think $6500'ish is reasonable for a turn key kit.

Red370 01-28-2010 12:39 PM
Agreed, shyt for 8k, might as well go TT, Superchargers should be a more cost effective way to boost and should not rival the cost of a twin turbo setup.

NYBladeZ 01-28-2010 01:02 PM
8K for the turbo kit would be super cheap, and does not include any supporting mods its hard to tell right now since I believe only GTM has a kit that they could mail you, AAM is still only doing in house installs. With that said $6500 would be nice and reasonable!

Good post. Peeps gotta stay realistic about the cost of this.

StillenZ 01-28-2010 06:46 PM
i like what some are saying and hate what others are saying.... Let's just all say we'll pay 4500 right now... so then Stillen: you guys can mark that up to like $5000-$5500 or so with 100-150 hp!

Then I'll go ahead and wake up from my dream and clean myself up.:nutswinger:

+1. You have to pay to play. This looks like it's going to be a pretty comprehensive kit with the new intake manifold, intercooler, and canned tune so I can't imagine it being as cheap as some are suggesting.

RCZ 01-28-2010 10:34 PM
yep, might be out of my range sadly if those numbers are accurate.

theDreamer 01-28-2010 10:34 PM
It will not be cheap, but it will be cheaper than a TT kit I think.
Base TT kits for the Z are above 10k, and most guys are dropping 15k or more with support additions that are needed. If Stillen can keep the cost below 10k even with support additions needed it will do just fine I think.
