It's a little more difficult to S/C the 370Z since it is DTB. There was word of a twin centrifigual S/C setup from Vortech for the HR motor, but I haven't seen anything yet. I'm still trying to figure out how Stillen would make a roots style work with the DTBs. Maybe they can chime in. It's all going to come down to how you route the piping. If you can get the brackets to work on the motor; then you should be able to get the piping routed.

Thanks for all the info guys. I had actually forgotten about the DTB's since my last three VQ's were single. I guess superchargers may not even make it into production this time around....
