GTM has had its problems, but you barely have an argument b/c their products are not out their yet like the stillen is.

As for us wanting something for show, yes the stillen looks like their is something their as where a turbo or gtm s/c doesnt. A front mount means nothing to me, as I have had it and I prefer the setup of the Stillen. It works on factory cars, so to me thats what I trust. A front mount is good, but living in miami, a watercooled system is better due to the traffic.

So honestly you have no say in what WE want. You can love GTM all you want, but the fact is each company will have its problems whether its now or down the road. At least they are trying to work with everyone to fix it.

Really? So me running my SC for over a month, Shumby longer and a few other G37s are no one running it?

You quoted him, bolded the statement, and then didn't bother to read it. He didn't say no one is running it.

How did I miss read that? He said GTM products are not out yet, which is wrong by what I said.

I don't know how you misread that, I'm not in your mind. But most people would take that to mean volume (when you complete the quote and add "like stillen").

Even in that statement, we will read it as volume, Stillen has just correct a bunch of goods (good job Stillen), but actually have less volume than the GTM kit so far by the looks of it. Meaning that, Stillen has sold a few more kits than GTM but has less working and less endurance so far on the installed user kits. GTM has had more working kits so far which could quickly change with Stillen looking like they have resolved most issues for the end users.

Oh yes, we have published sales and installed numbers for both kits. I forgot.

How can you say this with having NO knowledge of what they have sold? I mean you must be kidding. Stillen even came on here right now literally telling you, that internet forums are truly a smaller percentage of their business b/c they have been around so long. YOU PERSONALLY do not know how many kits are out there, maybe you do for GTM, but not Stillen. I have nothing bad to see about GTM truly, b/c apparently most of their kits are good. THey have some quirks, but they are working them out.

Stillen is doing the same, but from what we are all assuming is they seem to have sold alot more kits at the beginning then GTM. For our shop car, as long as stillen gets this fixed, it will be the Stillen kit. That is our preference and it fits our needs for the show and go purpose.

Chris,

In reguards to you building a shop car, I have to agree that the Stillen kit is by far more bling. However, a built TT + meth and all the goodies only needs a big sign that says "1000hp 370z"

Hey, can you paste the link to your dyno charts? You posted "dyno results tomorrow" back on 8/12/10 in a different thread - the one about finished F/I builds, but then there are no more posts to that thread with your dyno results. Did you exceed the 452 whp and 354 lb/ft of torque that GTM advertises in their press release? I'm guessing you did since GTM has more working superchargers kits installed than Stillen. When I posted my dyno charts to this thread on 7/11/10 my car was making 422hp, but the throttle response and drivability wasn't to my liking so I had them retune it and give me more mid range power. My car still only makes 422 hp, which is less than their press release, so I guess my car technically still isn't working. I'm glad that GTM hasn't had any issues with the roll out of their kit like Stillen. On the endurance aspect, after two and a half months and two thousand miles, I haven't had any problems other than needing new rear tires.

No dyno results from my car as I am testing the LTHs for GTM and many members here. We have been going back and forth on things and hoping to have some progress soon. No point in posting test numbers.
