STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

RCZ

Tuner is the one where you have to provide your own fuel system and tune. I think the one you want is the race one which is turn-key. I think the most extreme one is the tuner kit as far as how involved the install is.

RCZ, do you plan on going all out and upgrading your engine internals eventually? I don't plan on going that route, which is why the upgrade issue wasn't really a factor for me.

Smart move, Raul. Any thought to the rear end, half-shafts?

No big deal, Steve. My point was Stillen did the right thing. My point is FI puts a lot of stress on an engine. Maybe a new Mustang GT is built from the ground up to handle FI in the real world over time.. I'm not so sure about a VQ37, I think the jury's out. I certainly meant no offense to GTM, who have earned respect for their kit. Anyone dropping TT or SC in their car right now is a beta tester. That's all from me

I don't know why you would say that when we don't even know the true story from Stillen yet.

All we know is they backed off of their claims that they used to market/sell the product. I am really interested in what Josh/Kyle have to say.

All I know is that I hope Stillen is able to work something out with the customers who bought the product (and more importantly paid $XXXX thinking they were going to get what was marketed to them) to make the situation right.

Stilllen has commented, I'm satisfied with their explanation so far. I have a feeling Stillen will do whatever is necessary to rectify any issues. That's the pattern I've seen for years.

Make no mistake, the new 5.0 wasn't designed to handle a lot of boost, much like the VQ37. The difference between the new Mustangs and our 370Z's, is the aftermarket support, engineering, and testing. After all, Vortech rose to fame through the Mustang platform. Guess who is supplying Stillen with their head unit?

I mean, look at the testing Ford is doing for their own supercharger kit. There's no doubt in my mind that this information will trickle throughout the aftermarket industry.

I thought Ford beefed up the crank, connecting rods and godknows what, to handle a lot more power?

WOW Stillen well done! Very fair price! Its descision time and you just made that descision a whole lot more difficult.

questions:

1. How long is this intro price good for?
2. Possibly I missed it in the release, but is this pricing/dyno numbers for the CARB legal kit?
3. Like others said...warranty info?
4. Could you elaborate further on the engine management your using?

Is this more reliable than the gtm s/c or anu turbo kit?

Red370

Only time will tell buddy, no one is out on the street with either yet, give it a few months and we'll see comparos out the wazoo i assume.

Man I go away for a few days and this crazy press release hits the boards. These are great gains. Love the low/mid range gains, just like a super charger should be--Great job guys.

Typically the less boost you are pushing the more reliable/longer your engine will last. Supercharger systems(not the engine just the piping and what not), in general, need less upkeep then a turbo system.

Really won't know for a while though. Gonna have to have a few dozen kits installed and wait a year or two to know for sure what will hold up longer. My biggest concern with the stillen kit would be the water being pumped to a IC inside the manifold. Stillen claims they are using a super reliable IC so its not supposed to be an issue. It probably won't be though.
