New products continue to enter aftermarket for the 370Z, here is Rob to tell you about a new supercharger kit for the 370z!
ZCG was traveling south to the JCCS show we decided to take a detour and visit Rancho Cucamonga to visit GTM to check out their new Supercharger kit for the 370Z. Sam was nice enough to meet with us on a Saturday afternoon and give us a tour of the facility and it was impressive. The shop is amazing with late-model Nissans everywhere!!
This shop also includes an in-house machine shop, dyno, and alignment rack. After showing us around Sam allowed me to take the Shop Demo car for a ride. Having installed a Stillen supercharger already it was nice to check out Stillen’s competitor in the Forced Induction battle. First impression was quiet, nice driveability, and nice torque once the engine hits its sweet spot.
The boost takes over and seems like it keeps getting stronger as the rpms increase. Sam was surprised when I requested we throw it on the dyno.
Here is a short video Alvin took of the dyno run:
With the engine heat soaked and the temps in the shop close to 100 degrees the Z put down some good numbers: 380hp/305tq
Sam also shared some plots of pervious pulls with cooler temps, with readings of ~425hp/340tq.
Nice power and big torque.
Impressed! Excited to install one of these soon! Any takers?
Long live the Z

Our buddy Forbes brought this to my attention. It is pretty interesting to read about the inspiration behind the 370z, check it out: nissan-370z-designer-randy-rodriguez

ZCarGarage is performing their first Stillen Supercharger installation for the 370Z. You might recognize this sharp Z from its great power gains with the Stillen exhaust system and Berk high-flow catalytic converters. It also received several suspension and cosmetic upgrades since last year.
Here are a few pics of the supercharger kit, note how the dual throttle-bodies are oriented compared to the stock location:
Keep an eye on the blog for more install updates and you can count on some dyno action too as this boosted 370 makes some serious power!
