Greddy TT 0-60 5.3 1/4 mile 13.4
Not impressive to me at all, now if you go Vortech or with a major TT kit and its tuned right, you will be edging out M3's and can beat them, it will in no way murder them! Also my friend with his Sti with intake, exhaust, accutek chip from 14lbs of boost stock to 18 and Greddy BOV i beat him in My M last night by car and a half 2 till about 120, they are FAST but still need a considerable amount of stuff done to be ripping M3's, M5's and other cars!

I am aware of the story you posted but I am also aware of the disparity between magazines and their various "times". Not to say Speed R&T is wrong but 10 other mags would probably get 10 other results, some worse and some better.
As for other FI, yes there have been much better results HP wise from other SC's and TT's but they also have all blown engines and offer no warranties. It's easy to say "just tune it right" but that is hardly peace of mind. Most people who have blown their engines thought they did tune it right. Stillen is not impressive power for the money but it is safe power and there is definitely something to be said for that!
I still can't defend that hood scoop though.
I would recommend reading the forums on www.my350z.com. There's more discussion about FI as well as dynos and timeslips. Although they focus on the 350z, most of it applies to the G35 and times should be similar (although a bit slower due to the extra weight).

The times I've seen for the Stillen Project G35 Coupe (this includes supercharger with intercooler, high flow air box, cat back exhaust, suspensions upgrades, wheel and tire upgrades) is 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and a quarter mile of 13.6 seconds (as tested by Road and Track). Horsepower was rated at 400bhp.
As far as the Stillen Supercharger is concerned, there's a few things to note. First off, you'll need a new hood in order to create enough clearence and second you'll need a new front bumper if you want maximum efficieny with the intercooler. Also, the main difference with the Stage 3 is that it has a "high boost" pulley.
