I would like the highest gains that are safe for the engine. I would not like to have the lifespan of the engine reduced by any significant amount. I do not want to have to take it to a tuner after the initial setup and install and initial tune. Basically I would like the overall reliability to remain while performance was greatly improved. Is this possible? Am I expecting too much? If I wanted 375+ rwhp, should I have bought a car that came that way from the factory? I would love to hear from GTM and Stillen about these questions. Thanks for your time and attention!

I don't think you are expecting too much, That is the way it should be and that is why we offer our GTM turn key so you can "set it and forget it " as you said .

-Our GTM Turn key solution whether TT or SC does not require a retune (maf tuning )

-Our engine management solution is done via flashing the factory ecu so basically you are getting the factory driveability just with a lot more power

Plus We are working on a good platform from the start, all those things will deliver what you are looking for and more ...All you have to do is just buy the GTM kit

How much TQ did your kit dyno at?

john370z · 09-20-2009, 09:01 PM

Yes...would love to know the s/c torque curve...compared to the TT setup?

jmlenz · 09-21-2009, 12:54 AM

^ dont think the SC kit is up and running yet...still a ways off from dyno numbers for sure

RCZ · 09-21-2009, 10:22 AM

They are probably fabbing the piping as we speak...

Thanks for the updates, Sam! Definitely builds anticipation for the SC kit.

How are you guys going to handle the tuning for the S/C?, since the VVEL is such a pain in the ***.

Probably the same way they did with their TT kit

We Tune the ecu via flash, The VVEL is not that big of deal to control, its more then a pain in *** and almost mission impossible if you are trying to use a piggyback like stillen . The key is to have full control over the ecu which we do

Sam

Stillen has nothing on the market in terms of ECU flashing for forced induction unless you know something we don't...

... but anyways, an ECU flash is a better idea than a piggyback (IMO).

Stillen Uses a piggyback solution and it is not even a plug And play system it will require taping in to the factory ecu harness . Which should be avoidable .

I forgot to mention I was talking about the 370Z.
