The "bog" (maybe not the best usage of the word, but was trying to portray a mental image) is from when the throttle plate opens until the RPMs start to build. The difference in an N/A car vs the centrifugal SC car is noticable (at least it was on my Vortech'd G35) in this moment as the parasitic drag is at its pinnacle due to no boost.

yeah,
i was talking to my buddy who called...saying it is not as loud as the previous Vortech that were on g35/350z and wanted to go quieter this time around.

Nothing new there, but cool to see it on motortrend.

I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to poo on this thread, but the manifold, while an interesting approach - thorws me a bit since I'm more of a stock appearance kind of guy. The GTM kit appeals more in that respect...

Also, in terms of either the Stillen or GTM SC kits, with both of them using centrifigal superchargers, how would that compare vs the GTM TT kit, in terms of gains over the whole band and normal or "spirited" driving conditions - not just drag racing (as a dyno emulates)?

With twin turbos, you're going to get full boost and a huge rush of torque early on (which is fun), as opposed to the powerband of a centrifugal charger, where the power and boost comes on in a more linear fashion.

Hey Kyle, I'm alil confused with tuning the S/C. Is the supercharger going to come with a basic drivability tune, or do I need to have it tuned right away after installing it? I just don't wanna install it then have something go wrong because I don't have it dyno tuned right away.

Hopefully I can head back out and catch up with the guys next week. Nissan just asked us to build them a race car in less than 6 weeks so I've been trying to organize that build with all of the fabricator's, installer's, and painter's...yes...less than 6 weeks to build a competition ready race car!

oh come on ... i heard you guys have time to be out racing Camaros and Mustangs.... you can't be that busy

I would like to see all those parts laid down on a white background to see what's included with the kit, maybe they you can swap the air to water intercooler with a larger setrab core cooler and add electric fan to it and freeze the water inside it to get maximum cooling, just an idea though.

Edit: do you have thermal gasket between the stllien intake manifold and the lower runners, just to help in preventing heat transfer even if it was for a little bit.

Say what?

The tune that the car comes with will be 99.9% dialed in however some people will want to get an extra one or two horsepower and maybe adjust their a/f a bit. However, the tune itself will be good from day one and won't need to be re-tuned later on.

We did take a picture of all the parts on a bit white sheet all laid out nicely just like we've done with our other supercharger systems in the past. Unfortunately, the picture really sucked. There was way too much white and everything looked blown out and we only had the parts for about 20 or 30 minutes before giving everything back to engineering so they could keep on working. We plan on retrying this photo as soon as we have all of the production pieces though.

There is a gasket on the bottom of the manifold.
