On the 1/8 mile time, you were probably spinning more. How was your 0-60 time now versus pre-SC?

The Z is great with boost in 3rd gear and above, but once you get into 400whp getting 1 & 2 to play nice can be tough. Need to balance, tires, suspension, clutch, and RPM launch.

I had zero wheel spin on the 1/8 mile and did a 9.3-9.7 sec run with the S.C. before I could do 8.6-9.0 stock. I floor it at the starting line and it does not feel very powerful as before. Im thinking of getting it tuned with something other than the stock tune and get her on a dyno

If you are on the provided tune (or canned tune), then yes I highly suggest you get a dyno tune.
The Stillen provided tune is known to have some "issues," plus with a custom tune they can dig in deeper and adjust items such as fan speed, or worth on smoothing the throttle map to remove any lag or delay.

If thats the case I'm with dreamer, you need it tuned. My car didn't come alive until it had a custom tune and there is no way it's 100% and not spinning the wheels.
