I'm new and not very familiar with Z's performance products. I know that there are companies like Greddy, Enterprise and Stillen. I'm wondering the same, suggestion on Turbo or Supercharger? Performance wise and price wise. Thank You

Ask this question in a couple months after the APS kit has been put on' a few Z's and the results are in. From preliminary reports this kit might be the one. It certainly has the benefit of a lot of research and previous FU's of other manufacturers.

I've talked to a guy at Sports Compact in Winnipeg with the Greddy kit. He adviced me not to buy it, because it blew his engine up. I'm still pondering if I should go with TT or Supercharger. I do realize that there is more potential with a turbo kit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm looking at the HKS supercharger myself, it just looks well made from the pics I've seen of it. Gonna be digging around for some numbers soon.

For turbo I would go with APS.
For supercharger I would go with Stillen and then HKS.

from my first impressions, APS seems to be the choice for turbochargers, even though its still undergoing testing I would wait for that.
as far as superchargers go I am leaning towards the procharger

is there a price on the APS? I know that APS claim to have a 1/4 time of 11.97. Any of you guys have 1/4 time for Greddy?
Thank you
