Stillen Supercharger estimates???

Frankly, after looking at the collection of verified 1/4-mile times of 350Z on the other forum...I am not impressed. The only Stillen supercharged Z on the list, an '03 6-speed "Stage 2", ran a 13.22 @ 110 MPH. The rest of the supercharged cars aren't anything to rave about, either. They are running on average mid to high-12s at 110-113 MPH...hardly impressive for a sports-car nowadays, and not impressive at all considering the cost/work/headache of such extensive modification.

It seems to me that if you want a fast Z, you put up the money (and headache) of building the motor and going with a proper turbo setup, or stay content with minor bolt-ons. Staying in that middle-ground looks like nothing more than a complete waste of time.

I'll eat my words when I start to see 370Zs running 116+ MPH with a supercharger, bolt-ons, and a tune.
