Storm, not trying to pick a fight at all but here is how I see it.

You aknowlege the G37 info may not be a relevant comparison with the Z (the car you have) yet you are still grinding him for the PSI #. It won't be long hang in there and stop pouting. The differences you pointed out in fuel deilvery ect may make a difference then the argument will have been pointless. Either way they are going to do what they want and he said no already...

I honestly would just like to know what PSI is required to achieve 420+ at the wheel with 20" wheels. A lot of people have these on the 370Z, as well

They are not going to test every possible combo. If I were you (and I'm saying this becasue we have the same car) I'd be more concerned weather STILLEN will offer (or research the need for) a tune for NISMO models if need be. My car base line dyno'd around 300HP to the wheels bone stock and that's not all from a Nismo exhaust. The tune is differnet and makes a difference. Thier tune may or may not be ideal for your car.

Instead they focus on the information they don't have, think of dubious reasons why they don't have the info.

In the end this is information they will have before they can actually buy the product anyways....So why make such a point that you don't have the info today.... I don't get it....

Patience is a virtue...

Kyle has showed some wisdom in not getting involved with some of the drama on the other thread. Same applys here. Also you don't want to piss of any potential customers especially in times like these. I'm sure they all count, they are a business.

Traditionally engineers and technicians don't do marketing, promotion, or sales. Mostly because it's rare you have a guy that's good at or has time for both. I don't think Kyle is a salesman per say. Sorry if you were trying to be more annonymous Kyle LOL, but for those who are unaware Kyle's last name is MILLEN. Only an assumption, but you are talking to the guy who will likely some day take over when Steve Millen decides to call it quits. I'm sure he has more influence so maybe be thankful you have him here versus a "salesman". Just my

This thread is going to die soon anyway when they make a new official release so all you F5'ers are going to have to deal until then lol.

+1 ... it's pretty easy to spot the difference between curiosity and mischief in these posts... amusing to a point, but I think we're beyond that point

(in an effort to get this thread back on track)
we know Stillen has released all that they are comfortable with before the soon to be press release. So let's get of that subject and focus on the fun.

For those who are considering this SC, what is your goal in either HP or track/drag time or something else?

And what other mods are you planning to run to make the most of the SC?
Are you planning on replacing the clutch?

Then you'd better start building the engine.

I'm not a drag expert, but I would think you would need +500 HP and torque at the wheels to get a 370 over the line in 11 seconds

I wouldnt say so, a good pair of slicks/DR's plus 400+ whp should do the trick, Z Eliminator is shooting for an 11.7, and with a 12.8 already posted with street tires and no boost, i'd say he could do it.

Comparing it to the 350Z

Fast Nissan 350Zs 1/4 Mile 0-60 Drag Racing - DragTimes.com

Top time running 11.080 has:
Horsepower @ wheels: 530.00
Torque @ wheels: 525.00

And is running MT ET Street's

I think 450rwhp is enough to get into the 11's. A guy on here is running 12.8 @110 with around 310rwhp. Another is doing 12.7 @ 116 with bolt-ons and a 50 shot in 3rd gear. The 116 mph is good for 11's
