There will be no traction problems.
And a speed force racing VB with 2900 stall torque converter coming soon .
(not sure if there will be a kit to fully build the 7 AT )
Im only a crazy ______ when i run my 350 with the GTM 4.2 , wolf 850 ttbb's with a Speed Force built 5 AT. The build is going nicely.
Still waiting for Sam to ship me the 3 inch exhaust.

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 :)

stormcrow 02-23-2010 06:41 PM

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.

Zguy 02-23-2010 06:46 PM

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:

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

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)

NYBladeZ 02-24-2010 09:34 AM

8K is a bit low

shumby 02-24-2010 09:37 AM

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.
