Supercharging the g37s

Who's done it and who makes a kit for it? I like doing things differently than most and since most turbo these cars I want to put a blower on. Any ideas or suggestions?

Vortech should step their game up with the 370Z coming out and have a kit out semi-soon.

Do we know how much hp/tq the Stillen S/C kit was producing on the older VQ engines? I checked their site and oddly they do not list power gains.. hmm.

I'm sure Vortech or Stillen will have a kit out soon, they were probably waiting to see what would work with the 370z.

It's a luxury coupe that weighs too much to begin with, did you expect alot of love?

Are you looking for a blower or a supercharger? I can tell you right now, you WONT find a blower for a VQ engine.

I wonder if our internals strong enough to handle it over time(?) Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on that?
