STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

MMC Racing

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"

Oh I agree with that without a doubt, but their are certain aspects that we need to accomplish, and TT is just not the perfect thing for a occasional track duty car. A supercharger just has a more linear power curve, and the turbo can sometimes ruin the smoothness of a good lap on the turns. With the sponsorships from some companies, all we need to complete the car will honestly be whats under the hood and the look will matter.

Well thats a no brainer there haha, 1000hp track Z would be a bit much eh? Not to mention a nightmare everytime something broke. 450ish is probably the sweet spot no?

Sweet spot is an understatement, its perfect for a car like the Z the way its balanced and the chassis. I can only imagine that driving a car like the koenigsegg or something that is made for that much power, how scary it would be let alone a 370 haha.

Sorry for derailing guys, Kyle I know you guys are busy and stuff, but did you ever do any other vids of the s/c??

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.

Oh, yeah. I had the same issue with my Stillen set up. They originally told me they could have my car installed in May, but because I have headers, hi-flow cats and exhaust, they delayed it until June, but then the install took forever because they didn't have the tuning for the headers and cats worked out, so I didn't get my car back until early July. Well, hopefully they get yours worked out soon.

And please, post those dynos! We want to see what GTM's kit is doing when it's in it's "prime" form. The only GTM dyno I have seen is from Shumby's car, but from what I understand he is out of the country and isn't around to get the boost issue fixed. I was looking for the thread this was in, but I thought it was you, commenting on something about the inner diameter of the casting on the outflow pipe of the GTM compressor was too small and limiting boost at high rpm? Is that why Shumby is only getting 6 psi of boost? If he isn't around to get his fixed, have they got the new part to you, or are there other forum members that got the new part from GTM and have posted their dyno results?

Thanks,

-Phim
