Sorry I haven't posted here in a bit. Wasn't really interested in some of the bashing, those of you whom didn't do that I thank you.

Update:

Afterworking with Stillen, (Dave!! thank you!!) and Lamb Nissan, we found out and figured out why the AFR was all over the place, they forgot to install part of the air deflector for the intake. Once that was put on, the car started to drive 100% better, and now the tunes are getting better and better. As far as the people who say the kit is junk, or not worth it. To each their own. For my driving style, and end goal this kit is perfect. The car has 4k miles on it before I got the kit, now has 6k (lots of 3rd gear pulls.. lol) And yes the warranty option with the purchase did help me sway my choice. If you want to get totally balls deep into a 370z build, then pull your engine, and go to town with a twin turbo and lots of tuning time. If you want long term support, and a safer build with consistent power and less worries, the Super Charger hands down is the way to go. I've had nothing but fun with it, and have not one second guessing of buying the kit.

The guys that installed mine missed that step also! My car was driving my tuner nuts trying to figure it out. We were looking at the instructions (Stillen should make the importance of that small note bigger) one more time and found it. We were 10 hours into the tune when we found it so I stuck a piece of cardboard in front of the filter and it all went away.

Did you dyno the car to see what you were getting out of it?

Yikes ! These are those little blips in the installs that are hard learned lessons for our shops to have to deal with !

Glad it all went away ... those little foxes can be crafty little creatures and definitely to find !

Thankfully the tuner was great, we spent 10 hours trying to get it perfect the first day and 6 the second day. The car has run absolutely perfect since.

Default 2013 370z Nismo with Stillen Supercharger

Hey Guys, wanted to post an update. So since the install we had a slight issue, that has finally been resolved. I had a trip planned to California and ended up visiting the Stillen shop. I need to highly mention this, GREAT customer service! My Z is now running the 9lb pulley, and still currently doing some fine tuning. Will be upgrading the exhaust and crank pulley within the next week. Over all I've been overly pleased and impressed with the performance and power gains and with what this kit has provided :-)

Dyno numbers will come soon as once I get the last few kinks out of my tune. (Sucks living in Prescott Valley and being up 5100 feet)
