I have no idea on pricing or an ETA though.

I didn't mean to offend your products. What I meant was the stillen supercharger for the 350 topped out around 400 rwhp. I understand your targeting the general market of people who want a reliable daily driver forced induction kit. It would be nice to have the base kit for the general market and an upgraded option of a higher capacity supercharger. Something for built motor high horsepower setups. You can only change the pulleys so much before the supercharger is out of efficiency.

You are 100% correct and your remarks were not taken as offensive. I just forgot to quote your original post so I just called out your name...Not trying to call you out directly or anything!

You are correct that on a stock block our 62 CFM supercharger can produce about 8 pounds of boost and then it basically runs out of steam. However, that's about all that a stock block can handle. Anything more than that and you start walking the fine line of reliability.

With that being said. The new supercharger that we are working on will be capable of producing PLENTY of horsepower...I don't want to say exactly how much yet but I don't think anyone will be left wanting more with the possible options that we will have.

Greetings.

Make this happen in a stage 1/2 scenario for a daily driver, with uber reliability, with exhaust making anywhere in the 375-400whp range, and I will love you long time

And I want it tommorrow Is that too much to ask?

Thanks. That's excellent. If I decide on a 370Z once the vert shows up than I'll more than likely go this route. I don't want to go turbo this time for many reasons.....

No more info on the STILLEN forced induction solution yet my friend! It will take a few more months before we're ready to release any serious information.

Thanks for the heads up on the other thread, I'll head over there now.
