My point was no one find any issue with the tune as everyone is using different options and majority of options work regardless of which specs are those car US and JDM.

For the current SC kits, I still haven't seen anyone either with GTM or Stillen SC here, as frankly havent seen any 370z which is modded so far, but there are few G37 are there with GTM TT kits.

For me I am planning for GTM SC kit and if that goes through will update you

cool

I believe you can go by VIN number I believe to reference the ECU date.

if you aren't going to be running a stillen tune, get the stillen kit.

shumby · 10-12-2010, 10:33 AM

^^ lol or get the kit that works well and from a company that actually gives customers support. Hell Stillen is not even selling the kit right now due to the fact that it sucks. Get the GTM kit and there will be no disapointment.

^^^ you make it sound so easy Stillen makes it sond so hard.

I know you are a brand fan here, but I mean you guys are acting like Stillen is gone. They replied recently with good news for a customer that his car is running and running good. We need to start keeping it cool on comments about the vendor. As is with everything, forums are a small percentage of sales, and frankly no one knows how many kits they have sold that are running just fine.

He had a custom tune done to his car. We all know everyone except stillen can tune their kit. Uprev custom tuned his car stillen had nothing to do with it. Stillen isnt even selling their supercharger kit anymore

Studying deeper on this subject and for a not so big difference in price i think we'll opt for the turn key twin turbo kit, what do you guys think of it, is a good choice?

fstrnldr · 10-14-2010, 10:08 PM

Depends on your goals, but the twin turbo kit has a LOT more growth potential for power output. The supercharger puts out good usable power that would be best suited to a low key street car or track car that is usually going to be on a lower speed road course or autocross situation. I don't think either is a bad choice but the twins would be my personal choice.

Only if they are an Uprev tuner. I suggest you use the GTM base maps and tweak them if need be by a tuner.

Now the only issue with that is that the MAPS that SAM sends are locked. I know this from personal experience. Now maybe if you talked to Sam he can send the person you would like to tune the car a open map with basic parameters set that way you don't have to pay for a full tune. I don't know if he will do that but never know till you ask. Also I wouldn't know why you would want to do that. Sam has the tunning of these cars down to a science and the turn key kit is truly a great value as to where a full custom tune can cost about 1G USD.

I don't know how much these cost. i didn't even know Sam locked the maps. My tuner said he can tune my car for about $200, assuming Sam's maps required a little tweaking.
