I have 13K on my 2013 Z now and roughly 10K on the Stillen SC. My dyno numbers are available earlier in this thread.
Gotta say despite a rough start the last 9k miles have been essentially seamless.
The car just runs, as reliable as ever, ridiculously powerful, loads of fun. Very happy with the upgrade.

What kind of exhaust do you have with the SC?

Ive had my kit for a month, LOVE it. I dont know how you guys are getting such terrible gas mileage. I get 20-23 city and 48-50 on highway. I dont boost much only when I find someone stupid.

Are you basing your mpg off the readout on the gauge cluster? It's not accurate after you change injectors.

Lol. That's funny. Bro, if your getting 50mpg then never ever ever sell your car. If you do I'll buy it so I can sell it back to nissan so they can copy the v6 that got 50mpg. Then ill buy Nissan stock.

Can someone explain this to me, my Water to Air kit only put down 312 Wheel torque.

After looking at my dyno sheet, after the A2A kit, I made 356 wheel torque.

Same dyno, same tuners, Ecutek instead of uprev.

I'm not sure why but that doesn't surprise me. My car is make over 60 less whp but it's making more torque than it ever has.

I'd chalk that up to cooler intake temps and removing the intercooler from the manifold. Whether that heat exchanger is efficient or not, it's a big restriction compared to an empty intake manifold.
