I think they will be shooting for the same peak output as what they would have done with the centrifugal unit, but the twin screw will develop more low end torque. Probably in the range of 425-450whp - 360-380tq for a reliable street unit with the stock block, etc. Here is a couple of pics of unit (not a Z)

i'll stick with the GTM and no hood mods. but it would look cool. will be interesting to see what they do with the hood.

I wouldn't think twice about getting a new hood to fit that monster under there!

why though when the GTM will require no mods and the same power?

Better low-end with a twin-screw over a centrifugal SC, perhaps?

Twin screws are sweet! Mostly because of the low end torque.

ya that is true. but i just want mine to look stockish from the out side. but the screws will look mean as hell with a nice after marken CF hood.

No, nothing yet, I'll try getting a hold of them this next week, hopefully they haven't abandoned the idea completely.

Just released the information on the STILLEN supercharger kit using the Vortech blower...Go to page 21 for all the info.

Actually it seems more like Vortech didn't want to put in as much effort as Stillen. (unless they didn't want to make a competing unit to their unit used by another company) It was mentioned earlier that Vortech likes to make simple kits that can bolt up easily while this vehicle seems to be a lot more intensive to build.

Way to go to Stillen to finding ways to make it work!

It would be a curious bit of insider information to know if Vortech would have ultimately done a kit if Stillen wasn't using a Vortech blower on their kit. If I'm a Vortech exec, I'm thinking Stillen takes the R&D hit and we still sell the blowers (at less potential profit). In this economy, I'd take that deal too.

this thread is dead... Vortech isnt making a supercharger system for the 370Z.
