Just runs

I have 13K on my 2013 Z now and roughly 10K on the Stillen SC. My dyno numbers are available earlier in this thread.

Dan, Though you may end up going nuts with 9-10 psi pulleys, and other ways to get up close to 500whp, the initial Stillen tune will make such a big jump in power over your NISMO it will be...

SS - Nice that the wife gives a s**t about keeping up with anyone. I for one will be looking forward to your reports on the GTM Twin SC set up. Looks amazing, and looks like a very involved install.

I agree with this, however, if you talk to Stillen they will tell you that their expected 390-420 whp is with the SC kit only (includes CAI). They actually advise against up front addition of...

Additionally high flow cats and test pipes are for track use - so that is off the table. So...

Just a thought re: the NISMO exhaust. It sounds great and looks good, but for the cost if I did it again I would go with the FI exhaust with the 18" resonators - IMO - looks better and sounds better.

$8800 for me, but I paid full price for my kit from Stillen, you might do better and the install was high as I was the first 2013, so 8K seems doable.

2013 Sport touring Stillen Supercharger install

So the car is home and the SC works. Last dyno pull on the Dynojet produced 395 WHP and 286 lb-ft of torque at 68.5 degrees on what Stillen calls a "safe" tune.
