Quick question man, why did you order this supercharger before any real numbers were given? and without seeing the result of Stillens? You could possibly be screwing yourself here.

The Stillen SC is coming along very nicely... but I am pretty sure the GTM kit will be able to produce the same numbers... Hopefully :)

Most likely because Stillen's kit in the past has been known for low numbers and a high incidence of problems. I can promise you that the GTM kit will produce better numbers, have better fitment and less issue than any product released by Stillen.

And this is coming from experience of having a Stillen kit.

Well im trying to time everything right... I should be ordering my roadster in about 2 months (Crosses Fingers) and we can hopefully have everything lined up by then... I already have a few things sitting in the garage waiting :) I want dyno vids on both kits at 100%... The vid GTM released before didnt really do it for me... It was ok but I would like it a little louder

As long as either kit can make 400WHP minimum then it will come down to functionality of the kit , cosmetics and more importantly how it sounds.... I want to be able to hear it ... im not a stealth kind of guy :)

I totally agree, especially on a really cold day. The Z gets really loose when temps drop below 20 degrees. I was hot rodding my z around and I took a corner and punched it and the car kept going straight! :eek:

450+ would be awesome!!! I know they can do it, it's all about the tune.

No offense, but i think ppl need to back off and :gtfo2:

honestly, how many of you will actually buy the kit. :bowrofl::bowrofl:

some will and some will not.........

of course, it would all depend on the price, but i think if your mind is set on going SC, i think you would buy it regardless - even if it requires you to stretch your bank account a little more thin.....

simply, if you cant afford it, you can not even if it's relatively cheap.

also, as a consumer, i would rather have the thorough R&D to be undertaken than anything less.

everything takes time - so, lets just be patient and let the guys do the work........

IMHO, if TT pulls 500 RWHP for $16k with supporting mods, i think it would be ridiculous to expect SC to pull comparable numbers at half the price with all the supporting mods......

just be realistic, you don't get anything for nothing.................:rolleyes:

Really the mods need to getin here and clean out some of the crap. this post included

81 pages threads are silly anyway.. I'm sure these companies will make new clean threads when they actually have something to sell.

Haha, agreed.

Hey man, chill out! :hello:

First of all you have no idea who on here is going to buy one of these supercharger kits. The fact is any of us who own a 370Z are potential buyers and companies like Stillen, GTM, AAM, ect who sell products for these cars know that. This is an excellent way for them to not only market their products but to get first hand knowledge on what WE WANT!

Most of us are excited about new products that are coming out and there are lot more options now than there were last summer and well know how expensive power is so naturally we want the biggest bang for our buck. Also many of us on here that are interested in FI are still on the fence between which side we want to be on between Turbocharging or Supercharging. I mean its an endless debate that could go on forever because of the pros and cons of each system.

Lastly the cost of doing a TT setup is NOT vastly more expensive than what we are estimating the cost of a supercharger are. From where my car is now I could easily obtain 500rwhp from a TT kit for 8K. For me the debate will be for 8K do I want a solid 450 to 500 rwhp gain OR for 6K can I settle for 400 to 450 rwhp? (That was a rhetorical question)

8K is a bit low

i like kittens

Please send me a link to the setup that will get me 500 rwhp for 8K. Please be sure to include the 50% off coupon I will need.

aahahha, awesome. I feel your pain.

:icon18::iagree:

How are you going to do either a 6K SC setup or a (mythical) 8K TT setup when you're budget is 5K?:icon14:

here is one i find cute

http://www.antipope.org/charlie/gifs/shoot_kitten.jpg

Werd. People want similar hp numbers as the TT, but for half the price and with stock-like reliability. Pretty unrealistic, IMO.

daaaaaammmmmmnnnnn! Busted.

Who said my budget is $5000? I never said that!!

GTM sells a turn key TT kit for around $8000.00 but you have to install it yourself. I already have over $2500 in modifications that I installed the begining of last summer. I put on a Stillen CB, with matching HFCs so I am good on the exhaust piece to flow up to 500 rwhp. There will be some incidental costs involved in the installation but I will most likely roll with the tune that comes with the kit.

If you have a bone stock car and want it professionally done then YES; it will cost upwards of 13K to 14K.

BTW: Here is the link to "The Mythical $8000.00 TT Setup"

:owned::owned::owned:

Hey is that you with the shades next to that baby blue Z 2fast4thelaw?

Yep

with install and a dyno tune its going to run you very close to 10K.

That is still a pretty good price though.

10K installed is very reasonable for the quality and performance capability of this kit. For a while AAM was offering thiers for $10500 installed as an introductory. I almost pulled the trigger on it last summer. I think I like the GTM kit better though.

Any way, we are getting off topic on this thread. I am very interested in seeing what Sam will pull on the supercharger. Especially when he starts testing stage 2 and 3. I would love to see it pull 450 rwhp. That is right where I want to be.

Now we need to just see the results of the Stage 2 and 3!

We need to see the final results of STAGE-1!! No pressure Sam, None at all. ;)

You said if the SC isn't under 5K, you won't play...

AND

Thats not a 8K TT Setup, that's a 8K TT Kit that will be added to your already acquired xK set of parts. Hardly the same thing.

Any updates today SAM?

If history is any indication we could still be another month or 2 away from an official release...so pace yourselves lol. GTM announced the TT kit in 01/09 and said it should be wrapped up in 30 days or so...official release was 09/09. Just saying...

.

Oh well..

We will have an update before the end of the weekend .

Sam

woot

Cool cool sounds good. Also, will this include info on the 350Z HR info?

I Know this is not a 370z :D You guys will be getting a bigger update before the weekend is over .the car did 408 RWHP 315 RWTQ
