are you running rich with it? how much WHP and WTQ do you have? and if you dont mind sharing how much you paid for the custom tune?

It was around $500. It's 406 whp and 302 tq but on the Stillen tune it I think it was 340whp. The car not only makes more power it just runs better in every way. I hated it on the Stillen tune and was mad as hell at one point but UpRev tuning fixed all of the problems. On the track the thing is a blast now!

$300 of that $500 was for the UpRev license.

My car is a little rich now but nothing like the caned tune. On the Stillen tune it was ridiculously rich. It blew giant smoke rings on the dyno with the caned tune.

Only if you can stay out of the gas! You didn't boost your car for milage but if you are married it might be a good sell.

I have a Stillen supercharger and love it! Not the tune tho. Got a custom tune from r /t tuning in Lansdale PA and got 423 at the wheels and 325tq. I have the 9lb pulley tho and that's on 10 lbs of boost. Also have every other part that Stillen makes for a 370z including test pipes and no cats because I live in West Virginia where we have no emissions so no worries there

I am actually thinking about visiting them next weekend. Would love to hear more feedback from your previous experience.

The Stillen kit out of the box is designed to go with a stock exhaust....you can use and aftermarket 2.5 inch exhaust with TP's or HFC's(you brand of choice) but it would require a custom tune.....these kits are known to run better on a custom tune.

I would advise not to do a mail tune or etune as this will basically be the same as the stillen tune, maybe marginally better.
Your two best options are to find a tuner locally or close enough by you are ok with traveling and leaving your car for the day. The second option is to have a tuner remote to your car, so basically you need to get your car on a dyno and a tuner can remote into a laptop and make the adjustments as needed while the shop runs the car on the dyno locally.

I went to PA for the tune and it added 50 hp at the wheels more than the Stillen tune. Definitely worth the 3 hour drive
