STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

Phimosis

Well, this debacle is still better than any other supercharger solution. My car had problems, but it's been fixed for months and runs perfect. Yeah, my car makes 16hp less than what they advertised in their press release, but the competition - only GTM at the moment - only has one running example of their kit on any of the forum member's cars, and it makes 62hp less than their press release advertised. Also they've had a problem with their intake pipe that's supposed to be resolved soon, but they're still months behind Stillen in having everything fixed.

LOL you need to read better. the kit with 62hp less is mine and i am also running only 6 psi pully. As well it is not 62hp but what ever. As for the intake it is a non issue it preformed as needed but when Sam saw the casting he knew he could make it better. So to recape. GTM kits are as advertized and no issues. Stillen less HP then advertized meny tune issues. 8+ revisions now. and so far one blowen SC. So tell me how GTM is month behind.?

GTM is months behind because they only have one customer car
that works well enough that the person was willing to post his/her dyno sheet. Stillen had their first customer car done and dyno results posted in May. I would call that 5 months behind. If you go back and read all the GTM supercharger threads you see posts in august saying "dyno results next week". But, that next week hasn't come for 3 months.

As far as the 6 psi pulley goes, we've only
seen one person use it and it happens to be the only dyno result from an end user posted to this forum. Why would it be unfair to use it as a comparison to their press release, which advertised 452 whp with 8 psi boost. There's no one else to compare to. The people that have the 8 psi pulley can't develop 8 psi becasuse the supercharger unit can't keep up in the upper rev range. Still, if GTM wasn't months behind Stillen or they weren't haVing problems, you'd see dyno charts. So, the GTM kit only makes 390 whp until someone proves otherwise.

There's a saying in medicine we frequently use: if it's not documented, it didn't happen. And it's sound logic that holds up in the court of law. Using that logic, the most power you can get out of the GTM kit is 390 whp, which is 62 hp less than their press release. If gtm gets new pulleys out there, a new tune or improved charge pipe and starts getting customer into the 420 whp range where Stillen is, then it's still fair to say that GTM is months behind Stillen in that regard.

Id rather have a company behind some than one that put out a product and people cant drive their cars cuz it isnt right. When have we seen anything these days come out when they say it will and actually be ready? Nothing ive seen today. I have to say that right now GTM is looking better than Stillen even if they only have one car out right now. Stillen can say its just a minor problem but it sure is taking a looo0ong time to fix a minor problem.

Now Im sure when everything is all said and done and all the bugs are worked out both kits will do very well and be comapreable.
