2008 G35XS Stillen Supercharged

Been a member of g35driver for over two years and have never been able to post there and the admins never respond to emails so I wanted to share this. There is interest on that forum to see if this kit will fit on the v36 and I know someone will link this to that forum.

2008 G35xs with the stillen supercharger kit for the 2008 350Z, no real issues with installation. Car drives like stock (600 rpm idle, no problems when starting the car)

Full mod list so far: Stillen supercharger kit with AEM dry filter, BC racing coilovers, BB grounding kit, GT spec front strut brace, Hotchkis sways front & rear, ARK grip catback exhaust, Adams slotted rotors with posi quiet pads, custom uprev tuning via Innovative Tuning, Auto kits x carbon mirror covers & rear diffuser.

Had R2C intakes and Fast Intentions HFC's with resonators, removed the HFC's months before the stillen kit was installed because I couldn't take the droning anymore.

Will be installing GTM oil & transmission coolers as well as uprev MAF's on June 24th. Maxed the stock MAF's do to the poor design of the MAF housing on the stillen kit and had to limit the Rev limit to 7,000 to avoid the car leaning out.

This is my only car I live in Buffalo NY and drive this all year round.

Its dark and raining today I'll take pictures when it clears up hopefully tomorrow. I have to say I am very impressed with the rotors, such a great option for people who want to keep the stock rims without spacers.

Great numbers. Id love to see what youd get with the HFCs back on... Did you ever thing to change the exhaust and not the cats to get rid of the drone. I had to do that with one of my old exhausts... I changed Tps and it didnt help come to find out the exhaust couldnt handle the extra flow. I got a new exhaust and no more drone. Just a deep rumble! Plus youll problly get extra HP with them!!!

Cant and shouldnt run HFC's, Even Stillen says this.. He will see MORE with UPREV MAF's I made 467 WHP with the upgraded impeller and UPREV MAF's.

Great numbers too !!!

I really like how the car sounds with the supercharger and the ARK catback plus the look of the exhaust you just can't beat it. I have seen people add HFCs with a stock exhaust and it does sound good but I am very happy with the power level and the sound.

You can see the dyno only goes to 7,500 I did have my car set to 7,700 before the supercharger so just from changing out the MAFs and going back to 7,700 (possibly might bump it up to 8,000) I'll be showing more HP.

I think I am not going to try and add anymore HP this summer as I like to change something then drive it for a few months before the next step. But future mods will be upgraded impeller, 10 PSI pulley all of the remaining engine braces that GT Spec sells, one of the staged transmissions from GTM, 4.5L stroker kit. But the bigger additions won't be added until I have something else for a DD.

This car really drives like stock just with way more power just look at that torque curve or more so straight line and the HP gaining all the way to redline. I know I could have made more power when I had it tuned but I asked Mike the owner of Innovative to keep it tame since its my DD.

Forgot to add that I will be having a carbon fiber DS made sometime this summer just have to pull it from my car and ship it out for about a week or two since nobody had done one before with the AWD. Really trying to gain some power from all the loss of AWD and the auto transmission without adding additional power at the moment.
