ok so after googling i think u are mis-wording or mis-understanding, stillen is making a supercharger kit for the 370z/g37 yes, it seems they are going with a centrifugal blower which is what the vortech kits are but they are designing a new intake manifold for it to work properly with the dual throttle bodies, instead of a roots blower which stillen previously ran which was a huge fail by the way..so ur wording is wrong saying u like stillens vortech kit..u mean u like stillens centrifugal kit

I never said I liked it. I said it was interesting bro. And yes, I'm more than well aware of Stillens past FI products...
If you didn't understand my wording, than so be it. Stillen using a vortech centrifugal SC in their kit is interesting. That's all I'm saying. Do you understand that bro?
PS, I'm not trying to be rude. Maybe i'm lacking writing skills

first off calm down and get ahold of yourself and dont be a little E-thug im not here to argue with u....yes it is interesting, the whole reason i posted was because of your first comment saying u liked or whatever u said about the stillen vortech kit...i read that and said wtf? stillen vortech kit? so then i commented, u commented bla bla bla i looked at it bla bla bla realized what u were talking about...stillen and vortech are 2 different companies and the way u stated it made it sound like there was a stillen and vortech combination going on which its not, its just stillen using a vortech blower apparently..Its a centrifugal type supercharger kit from stillen, and yes its pretty cool, much better than the previous kit for the 350 thats for sure...end of story

i just re-read and maybe they are going to do that..It just doesnt make sense and seems like they would develop their own centrifugal kit and use their own stillen type blower...How would they do this, be a stillen kit but pop the hood and the blower says vortech on it??

if you bothered to google it like biggernismo said instead of arguing about something you obviously don't know much about, you would see that this is the case:

stillen doesn't manufacture superchargers, they used and eaton blower for the de kit, so if they're using a centrifugal blower for this kit, its very much possible that they're using a vortech unit, and designing everything else around it to make it work on the hr.

im not arguing with anyone, this is something i have never been concerned with or looked into and find interesting after i did look at it..i am just as intrigued by it as the next guy and now i fully understand what is going on...i did not know it was a eaton blower on the roots stillen kits but that does make sense now and makes everything else make sense...I still find that weird that stillen is making these kits but really the powerplant of the kit is from another company

I don't find it weird. In fact, it is almost industry standard. Many of the top tuners use blowers made by other companies, and manufacture custom piping, intercooler, etc. This has/is the case with Stillen. GTM is using a rotrex blower for their S/C kits. HKS used Rotrex blowers on their original S/C kits, before redesigneing a blower in-house for their GT kits.
