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.

Yes, you'd think people give them credit for sharing information all together.

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.... :icon14:

Patience is a virtue...

:iagree:

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 :twocents:

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.

Understood. But, again, stating what PSI you used on the test G37 to ascertain the dyno posted should not be an issue. I don't see that this will confuse anyone nor do I see that it is relevant to the 370Z kit that is yet to be installed/tuned/tested. (Granted they are the same kit with exceptions being different fuel delivery and possibly the loss of the strut bar.) 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.

Also, as a potential repeat client, I would love to see transparency when you post dynos. Witholding key information as to how the quoted power was obtained is not transparent.

And don't mistake my meaning - I don't mean that wheel horse power numbers should be identical...but, more of what you stated of the percentages you purport in your advertisements (threads) should be reproducable by most, if not all, who purchase the kit. This wasn't the case for me in my last experience with a Stillen produced SC kit. Even when running 93 octane and not the piss-water you Cali guys call fuel. :)

But, I digress. Hopefully we will see some honest and complete posts about the previous testing and any future testing. :cheers:

Seriously? He's not gonna state it until the press release. Get over it for God's sake. Kyle won't say it because he's a proper businessman but I can. Screw Off.

+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

Don't you have headlamp fluid to check, :gtfo2:

(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

^ haha I agree. I was thouroghly embarrassed my an e92 M3 the other day...not cool.

Man, I'm all for a good debate and some give and take on the two different kits but this thread has just gotten negative in the past week or so.

I feel like the people I see in the GTM thread saying the greatest things about the kit are the same ones over here saying the most negative things. I'm thinking once the full press release comes out, so many of these questions will be answered... I mean, nothing freakin matters until the final product is released... things could change right?... The unicorn blood could end up not having its expected results!...

I hate to look like a "fanboi", but it seems like all the criticizing could wait until the actual release. I for one can say that I am really liking the pricing and the results on the GTM kit. (Pricing vs power is going to be the big concern for me), but I still want to give Stillen a fair shot to release some honest figures.

Yeah you should learn all the performance cars capabilities, so to know which ones you give a friendly wave and which you can embarrass :tup:
Then at least if they are stock, the odds are in your favor.

For me the SC is just because I love the feeling of the G forces!
