That being said.... the stillen stage 1 or 2 (not sure) puts up the same quarter mile time as the greddy and is just a tenth of a second behind the vortech. So if you were to go for a stage 3 or 4 stillen then you will blow all those away. Unless someone has a revamped engine and a tuned twin turbo you will smoke them. Especially off the line. One problem some people have had is losing traction off the line with the stillen supercharger because there is so much torque at 1000 rpm. Hope that helps.
I would go with stillen. They specialize in the g and 350z.

In terms of reliablilty, for everyday driving, would the Stillen be better then the Vortech? I'm also considering FI, but I've always looked in to turbo but shying away from it since it seems like it could be much higher maintenance. But it seems like SC doesn't have the same output as TT.

The stillen is one of the best for reliability and everyday driving.
The SC will not have the output of a TT. It is also less expensive and a lot easier to install. You get what you pay for.
In my opinion the JWT TT kit is the best kit on the market. It has almost no turbo lag at all, makes a ton of power, is not as hard on your engine at the same boost level as a SC (because you loose some power turning a SC).
But, it is way more money to buy and have installed.
I chose the Stillen because I could do the install myself and it is a blast for the daily driver who does not want to rev the crap out of their car to be in boost. I love that I can be cruising around @2500rpm and the second I hit the gas my car takes off like a rocket. Speaking of a rocket, the sound is sooo sweet. I have thought about a TT kit but giving up that sound is hard to do.
And for those of you who want the roots style boost and the sound of a Stillen but may want more power down the road (above stage 4) the answer may be on the way...

It was not hard to do, just don't rush it. The instructions are good.

Vortech..???
Hey guys, I just recieved an email less that a month ago that Stillen just made their supercharger for the Rev-up engine available. Which is good news! But, I thought Vortech didn't make a supercharger for the Sedan..?? Only for the coupe. I thought I read a post on this before..not sure. Any info. on Vortech..?? How bout Procharger..?? As far as a TT system, JWT is the way to go. Check out Violentracing.com out of California. Check out the hp @ the wheels they're getting out of their G's & Z's. They use JWT kits with Garrett turbos.... Awesome..!! Plus, I saw them in action at California Speedway. There was a track event back in July. G's, Z's, Evo's, Ferrari, Z06, Viper. VRT G's & Z's smoked them all..!!! No B.S. !! Check out the Videos on their web site... see ya..!!

The Vortech also fits the sedan. They make one for the rev-up. You would need to confirm with them that it also fits the sedan but I know the others do.
