My Stillen super charger story....

From what I have read E-85 is like 105 octane.

Does anyone think that z1 motorsports can tune to this supercharger as good as the other. Its alot closer to me than florida and I can trailer my car there straight after the install. I dont really want to mess with preprogrammed tunes. I would prefer to install the FI and then take the car somewhere and have it tuned properly instead of dealing with headaches and downtime. Im not concerned about the warranty. The other threads sound like pissing contest. This one sound intelligent. Thank you in advance

I'm not familiar with z1; all i can suggest is you give them a call and see if they use the Uprev software and if they've had any experience with this kit.

Z1 has built a number of forced induction 370zs, both supercharged and twin turbo'ed so they have plenty of experience when it comes to tuning and dialing in a FI'ed Z.

The targa 370 has been tuned their and they installed that kit in 2 days to be ready for Sema. I keep in contact with the owner and he says the car is running amazing.

Actually the targa 370 was using the STILLEN R8 tune as they didn't have time, and drove 4,200 miles in a week back and forth from SEMA without an inkling of a hiccup, and nothing but awesome things to say.

It's back at Z1 now getting tuned for 93 octane, but haven't heard where they are at with that.

If they are working with Stillen I am sure the car can be tuned properly...The network of tuners working with Stillen is very close and TOP notch....

No power until 5500rpm with a supercharger? that only gives you 2000rpms till redline. Sounds like a turbo
