Re: which s/c to go with??

What are you looking to gain out of the SC? Are there any particular race events you're entering?

Re: which s/c to go with??

Well depends what you look for.

Vortech, and ATI pretty much give 20 more hp than Stillens from 5000rpm+.

The Stillen one gives 20more hp from 1500rpm~-5000rpm than any other supercharger due to the fact of the type of supercharger it is. It's easier to install also, but it requires a different hood that Stillen also provides.

Re: which s/c to go with??

goto www.my350Z.com

goldmine of info there in the FI section.....
http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthre...4&goto=newpost

as for me, my dealer is a vortech supplier, and also installed mine.... this is a critical issue w/ me and my stuff..... there's alot of room for a sloppy install...

also, as important (if not more) is the after-tuning you'll REALLY wanna have done... we found a shop (within 30 miles) that is a vortech installer and DYNO WIDEBAND tuner, that knows the software VERY well.....

this helps ensure you get the bang-for-the-buck you paid for, and is also a decent way to to ensure correct a/f is acheived....

good luck; PM me if you want any other opinions!

-eS

ps- although i went with the vortech kit, i was originally gonna get the ATi prochartger unit.... they BOTH are excellent compressors, with ALOT of online data/help/experioences to be utilized, if needbe-so...... as for the stillen, well, i think my dealer might be looking to do them on the FX, but i have no knowledge of them on the G's (nor do i know anyone who does)....
