"354 HP at 6,000 rpm with 318 lb/ft of torque at 4,200 rpm"

That's the most I've heard so far.. I've heard things such as "only 20rwhp or so gain" "80hp gain" (not sure if it's rwhp, or crank)...

Can anyone give a hard number? If it's 354rwhp for about $3,700, I'll get it by next month. My limit of spending is about $5,000.

Oh just great, now there goes any chance of buying a house within the next year.

Can't wait to see more details and numbers on this.

Those numbers are to the crank. If they were to the wheels, we would definitely specify that. We may be able to get those numbers, though, by the time we finish our test drive in June. Stay tuned.

Wow, looks good. Still don't like the hood, but those are fairly impressive numbers for a decent price.


I look forward to some on-road testing.

The top says 370 HP then the article says 354 HP. Which is it?

How the hell would Stillen know what the crank HP is? It's not like they took the engine out and bench dyno'd it.

Tell DKMURA that he can bring the SC Z to the track next time, maybe that will even things up!!

The 370 was an estimate of the total gains when using the SC, flywheel, and exhaust.

Sounds pretty cool, but you loose the swaybar and hood, so it's not for me.

I can't wait to see some reviews of it though.

I wonder if this thing is going to be eating belts like many ATI Prochargers seem to do on mustangs as said on their forums? My suggestion to everyone is wait just a little, if you think the 350Z has some bugs in it, wait until the after market products come out with lower budgets for engineering/testing.
