STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

tomnavone · 09-23-2010, 08:06 PM

Just got back after installing the seventh tune. This might be the worst tune yet. The Top end is better than tune 6 but it falls off very fast. The low end sucks compared to tune 6. The car is almost undrivable with the newest tune.. With tune seven my numbers are 397hp and 293lb/toque with tune 6 my numbers are 276hp and 299lb/toque. I reverted back to tune 6 because at least that one is drivable. Im officially throwing in the towel i dont want to wait for any more tunes. I believe seven tunes and three months with the supercharger installed is ample time to figure this out. I have decided to go a different FI route. I have requested for my money back from stillen with no response yet. I hear everyone say how great stillen is and how they stand behind their products. I hope in my case they stand behind their product and give me back my money. Will post dynos later.

Sorry to hear man. It's going to suck to uninstall the supercharger. Did you have to do much cutting to the car?

Jeez 7 revs remote tuning in my living room I can get a vehicle converted to E85 with a GT35 and all sorts of goodies, you have been far too patient, hope you get what you want but I feel a refund will be tough as it will open the flood gates, keep us informed.
Glad I was skint and held of initially.
Good luck dude.

That sucks.. Kinda sad when tuned camaros and mustangs are doing over 100 more hp & tq than you.

Kinda sucks when a 5.0l V8 is putting out more power than a 3.7l V6 with a severely broken tune on a S/C kit? Or a 4000lb Camaro is making 400hp...

Let's not forget the part where people don't buy Z's for striaght line stuff and if they do they are just wasting time and money.

Why are you even here if you just want to poke fun at somebody whos having a dififcult time getting the advertised result of a product he paid for?

Plenty of 350s with TT kits that will blow the doors off a 5.0 or SS. Built 350 TT is no joke. Our cars will be there sooner or later. Just takes time for R&D, albeit some more time than others..

I'm constantly surprised how underrated the 370z is. My brother in his tuned EVO X is now a believer. Even if his forum is full of haters and naysayers.

Perhaps, but it would cost less money to make a mustang faster.

My point is that this car vs that car has no place in this thread, this is about people sorting out this stillen mess. Which i'm very interested in as the first kit that shows it can meet its advertised numbers consistently will be the one getting my money.

Not making fun..I'm frustrated for him. I want to go forced induction with my 370. The aftermarket is just so slow with this car and now we have have a charger that's out but doesn't work.

Have you driven a new mustang or camaro? The days of saying "I'll get you in the twisties" are over.

The new stangs are pretty cool but there is nothing desireable about the new camaro. They weigh 4000lbs...enough said. You even have to get the SS to get to 400hp.

Not getting into a vs's battle here. Just putting up the correct stats for the camaro. The weight of the camaro is 3800 and it doesn't matter if it's a pig when it's got 426 hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque.

3913 - SS automatic
3860 - SS manual

Thats pretty fat.

I just don't like them at all. I like the 5.0 stangs though.

Do you plan still going the FI route after this experience? I'd just say F it, go TT...

Best of luck to you. What a HORRIBLE experience.
