All that sounds like a bunch of BS to me. It really shows how you cannot depend on these shows/reviews to make your purchase. Here is a 170 thread that talks about how Stillen fails and do not deliver what they promise: STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!! - Page 168 - Nissan 370Z Forum
You definitely dont get the sense of frustration, anger, and unsatisfaction that many people have experienced with the Stillen supercharger from that video.

And on this forum, there are many accounts of people unhappy with Stillen not only because of their supercharger.

And I love how in the video Steve downright lied about an increase in fuel economy. It will not happen with a supercharger. A supercharger has a parasitic drain on the engine horsepower. Claiming that it increases fuel economy is just false advertisement.

And that is the car that they have been tuning for the last year or so. Any time it needs an adjustment they can do it. Not like most people, were they get one chance to have it work right. Nobody is going to drive it from Texas to Cali to get it tuned every other day.

That is IF Stillen will talk to you in the first place.

Plus 1000 for what he is saying the SC kit is GREAT IMO but is not the power they say it is, I made 412 WPH after a tune, that would be the advertised 515HP before the tune I was 362WHP thats more like 450hp. Not to mention they can tune is terrible and the customer service is even WORSE. I know I spent a ton of $$ on their kit and coolers but WILL NEVER buy anything from them again, I will not tell anyone to ever but anything from them either,

Weird how I got great customer from them. They would even call from time to time to check on some things.

Please understand that i posted this video just for sharing purposes, I own a GTM Stage 2 SC so I'm not trying to advertise for Stillen or anything. It's just good to see a very well produced review for some after market stuff. Also Drive done a fantastic job with the camera angle and sound capturing. Yes Stillen kit has had issues, but it's still great to get the word out that a SCed Z or G will kill those retards that are in Mustangs and Camero and thinks they are faster then anyone else on the road. I hate street racing, especially when some jackass revs it's engine at me at a redlight, in his 2002 mustang GT.
