Nissan 370Z Forum  

Looking for impressions of GTM or Stillen Supercharger kit 2-3 years in

I have to agree if I had to do it over I would not have gone with the Stillen kit That kit is a one shot kit the way it's

That kit is a one shot kit the way it's make limits it's power and 99% of every one that goes for boost always want a little more

I made 430rwhp ok power but not for the money i paid
If you go forced induction go turbo or go home....

No offense to the supercharged guys just my 2cents

That's a pretty ignorant thing to say, especially coming from someone with a SC kit. They drive entirely different. Just because a turbo makes more power does not make it the only way to go. My kit can be upgraded to 800hp... It's a SC kit. I won't be coming close to that, but I'm not limited. When you have to say "no offense", that's offending. You told us we were wrong for going SC, you didn't even explain why. Enlighten me why going SC shouldn't be an option. I'll reply with a truck load why it is.

Hold on cowboy don't go for your gun just yet lol
I am talking about Stillen kit for the most part but if your happy with what you got great but A turbo car will win any day of the week pound for pound of boost
And easy to make power
Now drivability ok supercharger

And yes I admitt to not doing my home work going from a mustang to a 370z I looked at Stillen and saw a vortech blower and was like ya I had that on my mustang makes great power. That's how I ended up with a Stillen that being removed off the car right now for a turbo

This I can agree with
SC's are easy to make power as well, but not like turbo's. No "easy button" The Vortech unit isn't bad, it's really because Stillen built the kit to a price point, and not the other way around. Losing the strut tower brace is a no go for me too. That's just too bad arse to come on a factory car and get removed lol.
