Actual reviews/results on Stillen SC

Roddy1

Hi Guys,

I'm considering having a Stillen Supercharger put on the 370Z here.

I know the website says the car makes 500hp with this addition, but I'm curious what people have actually dyno'd, actual 1/4 mile time slips and actual reveiws on the performance. Streetability handling etc.

Its basically between Supercharging my 370Z or going over to an LS3 C6 and going Intake/headers,Exhaust/Cam.

I haven't done the 1/4 with my car but it's a blast on the street.

This forums has a final results thread I believe for finished numbers. Might wanna look in that thread. Stillen kits make around 400 give or take. A LS3 with those mods will be way faster than a SC Z.

Yep and we have a 1/4 mile thread, not as many with SC/TT/T but a good list: official 1/4 mile track times

Stillen's current kit is rated at 500HP at the crank and most generally see 390-410whp depending on dyno, tune, and location.

Check the finished builds thread. I ended up putting down 400, I haven't been boosted long but I love it! I haven't tracked her yet. I get awesome gas mileage. I haven't found anything negative.

Like everyone else has said 400 WHP or so I made 412 and chased 500 WHP and motor quit at 457 WHP. If I had that choice sorry to say but I'd be getting the LS3 just me but long long term more reliable . No one has had their SC for years or up wards of 40k to start low .
The LS3 is factory ready to be fast out VQ is not yes you can make 400 WHP on the Stillen sc hell you can even make 600+ WHP on a twin Tubro set up but for how long and how many miles no one really knows yet. I love my G and the VQ just not good for BIG power

How long? So far, at least 3 years and 40,000+ miles (over 60,000 on the engine now)! Install and tuning is critical. I would say that my engine has now reached the miles where even cars that come stock with this type of power can start to run into problems.

I hope your wrong about the 40k thing, I have 16k on mine in just under a year!

Please for the love of god listen to what I'm about to tell you. If you think you will be content for a LONG time with low four hundred numbers then by all means the stillen kit is awesome. I have the stillen kit with every other performance mod stillen makes including the 9lb pulley and a custom tune and I'm making 440 at the wheel which was really cool for like a month! Now I crave .... No I must have more power! So take it from me if you think you are the trype to be content then plan on just that from the stillen set up... Contentment. If you crave big power.... Swap it! That way when your bolt ons no longer make your nipples hard you can boost the mother******

This is the sole reason I ended up going with Twins. I was about to pull the trigger on an SC but knew I would not be content with low to mid 400s.

Thanks guys. I've never owned anything that made more than 400whp but I think that would be plenty for me. At the same time I know the ls3 has better potential to go 500+hp.

You changed your avitar!

OP, you need to really be honest with yourself as far as how you will be using the car, and what your HP experience has been. I've owned several 600hp+ cars in the last decade (Z06's and a Viper), and I can tell you from experience that you really can't enjoy that kind of power on the street. Yea, you can blast from stoplight to stoplight all day, but that gets old (and draws a lot of unwanted attention). Are you going to track it, autocross it, race it?

After selling my last Vette and buying the Z, I can truly say that I can fully enjoy the power this car has, and still avoid most tickets. I'm tempted to go the S/C or turbo route, but know from experience that I will never get my money's worth out of it.

Do what makes you happy, but make an informed decision.
