Why no Whipples or similar superchargers?
The Stillen SC kit uses an Eaton M90 correct? This is the same SC that Pontiac Grand Prix's use and I remember the days when people would have to fight hard to get 350-400whp out of the M90's ( and I'm talking about going all out for it ). Then someone decided to slap on a Whipple SC and made over 500whp with about the same torque numbers with half the mods needed to make 400whp on the M90. Needless to say, it was down right sick.
The VQ is a FARRRR more efficient engine than the L67/L32 ( the GM 3800 SC engine codes ) is yet Stillen chose one of the most inefficient SC there is.
So the question is...why no Whipple or similar? I see no problem with a whipple making well over 600whp in a VQ with mostrous low end torque.

Either way...me question is wondering why no-one has done a whipple setup.

No faith, I think the heat exchanger is near max as is it's a very thin core. A whipple or a M90 may be better on paper, but the kit itself may already be at capacity. Whipples compress the air vs the blowing the air, is this compression of the air going to be a heat issue with the current manifold?

Give it a shot. I know some FX guys that would probably like an upgrade of the unit. FXs don't have hood clearance issues like the G/Z so they could run a different blower, but a G/Z dude would probably need to do the grunt work of the changes.
I've had the Stillen, GT25 TT, GT28 TT, now GT30 TT.
Just get a TT. hahahaha

The other "domestic" companies who make things for us aren't ****. We don't want it anyway. Take ProCharger for instance. The second they find out you're calling about a G35 they become complete *******s and don't know what you're talking about and they are WAY off base everytime when telling you what you need to do.
So... if someone was choking me to choose: Stillen or Whipple... I'd take the later. But really, we make pretty descent power with the Vortech, slightly better with the ProCharger, and turbos... well... sky's the limit- besides... imports and turbos just go together
I know I didn't answer your question... just felt like posting
