STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

wow, this thread got long!!

I see a lot of people saying GTM is the way to go instead, but you know what, nearly EVERY person lately whom I have talked to that had major work done at GTM will never go back. They lag, take forever, want endless amounts of money (up front usually too), etc etc. I know 2 good friends of mine with very high quality builds (magazine / sema cars) that pulled their cars out of GTM's shop. I'm not a fan of GTM, hence why I never took my old Z to them.

Stillen on the other hand IMO has gone downhill on their customer service front. All they want is to release a kit that is "good enough" get money for the kits, and then continue with R and D, then when they produce fixes for issues or upgrades to common problems, they want to charge EACH customer with these somewhat faulty kits more money to upgrade, so there is no standing behind ANYthing...

Both kits have promise, great promise, but the companies that are making them are what holds the potential back.

and in the end, I stand behind my thought that the VQ is a terrible motor to FI. Out of being in the scene for 7 years, I know of not a single person who has not ran into major issues with "bolt on FI" kits, and consequently full builds as well.

stay NA, the VQ will love you for it. There is no such thing as a truly reliable VQ that is FI IMO...

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. At least, that's what i experienced.
