APS TT kit is the best for the Z. It has the best power and power potential while having still having the best reliability from all the FI avaliable for the Z.

If you have to pic from the 3 you choose at the top you should most definately go with the GReddy TT kit.

if you dont even know the difference between a supercharger and a turbo i would suggest staying far away from both.

haha, what edgeofsanity is saying is that the HKS, and the Vortech are both superchargers whereas the Greddy is a Turbo application. There are large differences between the supercharger and the Turbo, i recommend Turbo but thats just my opinion. I would definately agree with Chachi that the APS twin turbo kit is the best to go with. Power Enterprises and Turbonetics also make a Turbo kit.

The APS Twin turbo kit is fairly expensive however, and installation on any turbo application will be pretty expensive.

If you dont have around $8k+ to spend ont he APS you can get the Turbonetics for around $6k, it's a single turbo, a much different set up and id recommend waiting a bit before purchasing it to make sure the first couple guys that buy it are getting good gains/no problems with it.

Also Superchargers and turbo applications are called Forced Induction or F/I and there is a whole section on the forum dedicated to this under the engine/drivetrain/forced induction section.
