- - STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!! (http://www.the370z.com/forced-induction/15836-stillen-370z-supercharger-system-announcement.html)

its not that, its that I just dont want to argue Storm. I just don't want to argue about something that its pointless to argue about until we have data. In all honesty, things will be out soon enough man and I'll be very happy to discuss things then.

For the time being I'm tired of the drama, I shouldnt have said anything in the first place. Once all is out and we can actually compare data, then I'm all ears. For the time being, I'm going to wait. Im starting to dread coming in here and its partly my fault.

We are packaging the tuning now!!!

As most of you know the big delay on shipping out the tuning cables was caused by the instructions for the tuning process. The tuning process is different than the normal UPrev process. We worked on a new program that is specific to our supercharger.

We will be shipping out the cables and the tuning software within the next 48 hours. Some will leave today but not all. We want to send these parts first so that people can begin downloading their ECU ROM's and we can confirm that we have the ROM's on file and tuned so that everything is ready to go. By sending out the tuning software early we are able to streamline the installation process and make sure that the tune is ready to go when the supercharger arrives.

We plan on shipping out complete supercharger kits next week. The first superchargers to ship will be the G37 coupe 7 speed auto and 370Z 7 speed autos. Other applications including 5 speed autos and 370Z 6 speeds will ship shortly after that.

I still dont understand, after all the talk about their "testing" and yet you guys are about to receive kits that you know MUCH less about compared to the GTM guys. I think this is why we are getting on your (stillen fanboy's)case. Its not in the slightest about insecurity and more about, wtf are you guys smoking?

I get tired of trying to argue about this **** too, but de_dust's post was spot on and just you dismiss it? I think THAT shows who are the insecure bunch. It was just weeks ago that you hated Storm's guts and now that you see he is a man of his word and really brought out some valuable information to the boards (he had great info before his car was released too) everyone all of a sudden has nothing to say.

Other than that, I just wanted to point out that Sam has a crew that apparently does their work right which allows him to be in so many places at once. So nothing is delayed because of other projects.

ouch! lol

kyle, congrats on the progress! :tup:

Is their any talk about the warranties mentioned a while back? I havent heard to much about this, Kyle maybe you can chime in, or maybe you mentioned it and someone can tell me.

We are working with the same warranty company/insurance provider that we worked with on our other kits. We hope to have a definitive answer on this soon. They basically just want to wait until we have carb.

1st of, its a forum... a medium to discuss ur opinions and share information... and hopefully as civil as possible..the main goal is to help each other out with what we want to accomplish with our Zs... it doesnt matter if u've set ur preference, what matter is if the information you have presented has some validity...

for example, u'r making a statement that Sam is not having enough time to test the kit... how can you confirm this and how can you assert that he doesnt have techs working for him to help him with the work... perhaps there are 10 sam's at GTM right now... on the other hand, ur using this assumption to imply stillen is doing better testing... are you privvy to how much testing to actually have logged... have you seen any information that has not been presented to everyone else... they do testing and yet they have not provided the statistics to support their tests... so how can you claim that the kit is functioning as designed... i hope you see the fallacies of ur observation ...

it doesnt make sense to me for u to assert insecurities as the reason for the information that was presented... a better analogy would be a dumb pretty girl doing something stupid and saying ur just mad because ur jealous of my prettiness as an excuse for what they did..

all im trying to accomplish is to get more information that will either disprove or confirm the theories that were presented so i can make my decision and help out those who are undecided... information that Stillen actually should already have and for whatever reason has not presented... in fact, the only conclusion i have stated is how it would be illogical for someone to post a deposit at this time with the stillen kit because of the lack of info... :tup:

Point taken, they clearly have a different policy about releasing information than GTM does.

It just seems like people are still trying to take more cracks at this kit and arriving at conclusions that are impossible to arrive to without facts. If you want to talk specifically about one thing or another such as the merits of air to air cooling then so be it, but don't post findings that only support one side when the other side also clearly has some advantages. Otherwise it wouldn't exist.

You know, it may just have been a little illogical, but I had then and have today some good reasons to choose this kit. Nothing to do with what I think of GTM, more to do with the fact that I see things in their design that I don't like. What I'm trying to say is that you showed me both kits and didnt tell me which brand made which I would, without a doubt, choose the stillen one. You may think otherwise for your own reasons, but I got my reasons.

The reason I didnt reply to his post was because its pointless. There were people who put money down or chose to buy the GTM kit before there was even a formal release! I don't see you guys on their case about making a choice without info. Also, you don't know what info I had or didn't have to make a judgment. I do realize thought that he took the time to write it so at least I can reply.

I hated storms guts because he did NOTHING but post inflammatory comments towards every person that came around. He didn't do ANYTHING to help the site and overall I don't like people that bring everyone else down. I still don't see where he has benefited the boards much, but I can see that he is no longer being an *** so whatever, I have no reason to still hate his guts. I dont know how he is a man of his word? Not sure what word that was that he came through on. Maybe because I had him on ignore for a while, I dont know.

If you guys want to chat, take it to PM. This doesn't belong in this thread.

Josh on the passenger front wheel well where the intake tubes go into the IC, how much clearance is there between the tubes and the car body? Will they vibrate and rub and they look like they are sitting on the two cables too, are they hitting each other? Thanks.

Out of curiosity, when will we see other pictures other than the top of the engine bay? I'd be interested in seeing the IC itself as well as the plumbing to the filter location etc.

OMG i missed out on 2 days where i could have been getting under RCZ skin. Well thanks guys for keeping after him for me. the last 4 pages just helped me kill some time here in the airport.

Josh, you should take five seconds, and pull the sticker off the overflow that says its for a civic, and maybe top off the power steering fluid while your over there. ;)

oh and nice to meet you at the open house BTW.

...so you're saying testing has been done on a 7AT 370z?

This is obviously the best supercharger kit for the 370z and G37
