Depends on how much fun factor your after. 400 will be fun. 500+ with a turbo will be much, much more fun.

I can vouch for that.

I've come to the conclusion that if you just want a little more punch and all you do is drive your car around town then a SC isn't a bad way to go. It is cheap and relatively easy. 400-ish hp is fun when your options for said fun are limited.

For example: If I got an AWD G37 for winter driving I would want a SC in it for days that there was no snow.

But if you have plans on tracking your car (track/autocross/drag) at -all- then there really is no better option than turbos. With a SC you'll be a fast V6. With twins you turn the heads of V8s, even V8s with SCs.

V8 SC power in a V6 chassis...hell yeah.

Good luck!

I can also vouch. Had a 350 with stillen roots blower. Fun for a year. Added a turbo to forcefeed the roots. Fun for a year. Bought a 370. Fun for a month. Put a twin scroll turbo on. Fun as hell!!! Got hungry. Built motor on way. Going back to 400whp.....impossible.

I had a Stillen SC on my 08 350Z. It's the same kit. Knocked 1 sec off of my 1/4 mile time by adding the SC and better tires. I knocked off another 0.3 sec by doing a pulley swap and upping the boost from 8-9 psi to 13 psi.

13.8 sec stock with street tires.
12.8 sec Stillen (8-9 psi) with better street tires.
12.5 sec Stillen, pulley swap (13 psi), and better street tires.

I know my times are not fast. But at least you can see the gains. I'm not very experienced at the track.

Good to know it knocked a full second off. I'm pretty sure I can pull off a low 13 with my car the way it is, so a low 12 or 12 flat supercharged would be perfect!

Nissan370 · 09-08-2014, 11:55 AM

when i had the stillen supercharger i was trapping 116-117 in the 1/4mile
my 60ft was trash but the trap was almost constant

G37Sam · 09-08-2014, 03:33 PM

If your main purpose is to hit the dragstip then the C6 is a much better platform.

diego@vossen · 09-08-2014, 05:12 PM

My car will probably never see the track but with the Stillen SC it sure is a blast to drive around town

I don't care for 1/4 mile times or high HP numbers, just wanted bit more enjoyment for my daily. TT on a daily would probably get me in trouble lol. I am pretty satisfied with my setup, I sure love the look/sound and performance of TT's though. Props to those who got them...One day

Is there lag with the Stillen SC? One reason I bought the Z was to get the NA feel, tired of the lag from turbos, especially on curvy roads. I would like to maintain that NA power delivery feel, if possible.

JWillis72 · 09-17-2014, 02:34 PM

No lag like a turbo has but it feels a little different than NA because from 4500rpm and up the power kicks in more.

ANMVQ · 09-17-2014, 03:24 PM

Drives like NA till about then maybe a little earlier like 3800 or so then .... .

And if you do the impeller upgrade its more like 3k mine was way down there

Hammtastic · 09-18-2014, 09:11 AM

Does it feel the same as lag though?
