STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

Phimosis

Great summary!
I have a few comments about others cars:

RCZ: he's got the small pulley and a custom tune that is not too rich or too much ignition retard. He's getting exactly what Stillen advertised in their press release, with a few ponies extra for the headers and cats. BTW, how many psi of boost do you get?

Weiboy: Did he get the small pulley? I know they gave him the new tune and it solved the driveability problems, but didn't know he's got the small pulley. If he does, let's see the dyno!

WifedrivenZ: Says it smells rich. Well, the too rich a/f ratio is part of what is killing power. It can also kill your catalyitic convertors and won't pass CARB. He's happy with the tune, but when I had the same tune, but I was unhappy with it because the midrange is a lot weaker than what is advertised in Stillen's press release and I wanted to get what I had paid for.

Tomnavone: Has the same too rich tune with the big pulley, if I'm not mistaken. I didn't want to get into what was said between him and Stillen, but I think there may be a little confusion. If they give you a new tune, it will be leaner and cleaner, with better power delivery, but that will actually run hotter and is less safe, rather than more safe than what you have now. I know you asked, "can this tune damage my engine?" and their answer was "possibly", but the better question is "which is more likley to damage my engine, this tune or the new one you're going to send me?" Even with the "perfect" tune, you're still at risk of damaging your engine when you put 8 psi of boost into an 11:1 compression engine. It's like asking, "Which steroids are safer for me to take, and what is the max dose I can take before it kills me?"

LateralG: Privately tuned for max power, but with big pulley. There's just no way to get the numbers that Stillen's "7.9 psi press release" car has unless you get the small pulley. How much boost does the small pulley really make?

G37mobbin/osiris: I just cry silently when I think about them.

Me: My car was at Stillen for 3 weeks initially, but when I got it back, it had trouble starting, ran too rich, would bog with too much throttle and the midrange was off of Stillen's press release numbers by more than 50 lb/ft of torque. I drove it for a few weeks, but put maybe 200 miles on it because it was no longer fun to drive like my Z with bolt ons. It's been back at Stillen for 4 more weeks. The tuners from uprev have been hammering out the bugs over the last 4 days. Kyle was supposed to have a meeting with them last night to get the scoop, but that didn't happen, so it looks like I'll be rolling into next week (8 weeks total) without my Z.

Willtangclan: Nooo! I would be scared. What the heck is causing the code? is it detonating?


Anyways, I'll be back with more info on my car next week...... It better be next week! lol.
