this is true! but better gas milage would be nice at about $5.99 per gallon over here!

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

did you go out to Pennsylvania for the tune or can they send you a custom tune in the mail? :S

I have 415whp and 310wtq at 86 degrees dyno. I get about 15.5 mpg in the city. Custom tune by Zfever in Tampa.

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

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.

With the proper install and right tune it's very reliable

I love mine

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.

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

What kind of exhaust do you have with the SC?
