If it where me, I think a changed my mind from before and would have went the way I did, Stillen, Carb legal and will make good power. Myself and EVOkiller are push these to 500WHP or trying anyway, LOL

I just remember reading that on some forum when i was google searching problems with both kits, thats the only thing that was really worrying me if i went that route

thanks for clearing that one up

can you please explain?
by inferior parts you mean like intercooler and such or something more major?

Well, since owning my kit, i've had to replace two of the pulleys that came with the kit due to failure. I've also had to upgrade the bypass valve as the small plastic one that comes with the kit isn't adequate for proper tuning and performance. Had to modify the reciruculation tube so that it could handle the proper amount of return. I had to upgrade the jackshaft and super charger pulley to cogged pulleys in order to avoid belt slip. I've also been told by my local performance shop (that has worked with these kits) that the intercooler will not disapate heat properly if you're using more than 12psi. Customizing a front mount intercooler for this kit will be a big undertaking IMO. I've heard of others having to upgrade maf's, and some have even gotten bigger injectors than what the kit comes with. And of course, others have also upgraded the impeller on the actual blower in order to increase low end torque. Oh and, speaking of torque, IMO, that is where this kit lacks. I'm getting 308WTQ on a mustang dyno. While you're reading about other kits, take note of the torque numbers.

I know that why I put the "LOL" I actually was smiling when I read you post,

Just search on here, The is a guy overseas Dubi I think, and there are a few on the G37 forum. An not bashing the kit, He is looking for info no?

weiboy718 · 09-06-2012, 10:38 AM

Yes, that guy was racing someone right after the installation while going to his tuner.

From all your post you are trying to start something all the time. You know nothing about the GTM kit nor had even race or sat in one. Not sure why you're always trying to talk down on it for and you're the only one thats been starting drama between the 2 kits.

Come one man how long we been on here, Go back and find some of my old post, Where I said "IF" GTM was card legal and my dealer would have honored my warranty I would have went GTM.. I have talk to same a handful of times and was always helpful.. Never starting any drama, But the IS another choice other than GTM, Each person to their own.

Really wouldnt say inferior, But maybe not the best choices, The heat exchanger is small, and some think the intake design on the Stillen kit is poor( MAF) location, I'm still up in the air on that one I will know more when I get my car back and retune it for my upgrades.

does the heat exchange cause problems?
I dont plan on making any more than advertised power tbh, 412whp is pretty fricken fast if you ask me

Huck · 09-06-2012, 02:40 PM

I don't have either one, but I read a lot about both of them. I honestly haven't heard too many good things about the Stillen SC. People have a lot of problems with them, the tune they give you is absolute crap, and they don't make much power. Stillen's product quality and customer service have started lacking severely for the 370Z, whereas GTM has done nothing but improve and continue to please people. If I were to consider a SC I would be looking at GTM before anything else. Just my
