Nice short article. Thumbs up to Stillen for the explanations in their design and overview.

Stillen did mention that their old kits werent intended to put down insane numbers to start with. 380whp on a VQ35 is a nice 130-150whp gain over stock. They were using a top mount twin scroll blower which was intended to be CARB legal too! That's a huge restriction right there.. You can read more about it:
STILLEN : STILLEN G35 Intercooled Supercharger System
The new one is Vortech blower which will push in more boost and given our high compression ratio, displacement, their plenum design and air-water intercooler, should be promising.

Yeah who doesn't 
But when both your state and dealer approve of it from being CARB Legal, then one might reconsider which is why they gave that option

To excerpt the blog post here: 370Z / G37 Supercharger System Progress: R&D : STILLEN
When the 350Z came out in 2003, Steve Millen and our engineers sat down to discuss the main goals for the STILLEN forced induction solution.
The consensus was clear; the STILLEN VQ35 Supercharger System had to be CARB legal and had to offer a 3 year/36,000 mile engine warranty. It had to be a turn key, ready to run kit and offer great power gains. To meet those demands Steve and the STILLEN engineers decided on the Eaton MP62 blower.
It met all of the requirements and worked perfectly! That kit was a complete success and was the first supercharger on the market to achieve CARB legality and offer an engine warranty, with gains of approximately 100 horsepower at the wheels.
