i wish i had a spare supercharger laying around, id sell you it for 20k.
well since i didnt really add much except a smart remark with the first comment im editing my post to include helpful information. man im a nice guy.
im not saying to buy from these guys but they have a good variety of the FI apps on the market today with a little write up about each one. I would suggest reading or atleast browsing before spending "20k" to get a stage 100 supercharger...lol

yah solidus, i got a great intake here. its a steal, i want 5,000 for it. lol
A:
LOL!!! jgeeg35... he set himself up for that....Solidus: obviously you have internet how about just doing a little searching before you come up with a question like that... and no it's not going to cost that much unless you are a true fool and keep swapping out chargers...
so maybe you've been playing a bit too much Gran Turismo where you have to go through the stages in order to get the highest... just whip your wallet out your back pocket... pull the 7-8K outta it and grab the equipment that you think will be as much as you want...
personally i'd look into the APS single or twin turbo setups... just because of the ease of upgrade should you want to...

Well, I don't think you know either

You can get an APS single turbo for about $5800 or twin turbo for $7400 plus install. I have a lot of years with forced induction. Stillen is good, but APS is GREAT! IMO. In terms of performance, competeness, and ultimate reliability for forced induction for your engine. Breath taking perfomance. Over 500 hp at the engine on stock engine internals with standard kit. Also with Stillen you have to replace the hood and leave off our front strut tower brace which I do not like.
All of the forced induction kits make good power. I like that APS has pioneered safety/reliability items like the shielded crank angle sensor wire and includes it in the standard kit. Before any of the other kit makers seemed to even realize there was a problem or a need for this component. This attention to detail impresses me.
The APS fuel system is the best of any standard kit on the market IMO with the fuel return system and other components thereof. I have read various articles (like Sport Z Magazine) that recommend a fuel return system for any and all 350Z forced induction kits. Racing teams and elite engine builders I trust say the stock fuel system is the great weakness in our engine for forced induction at virtually any increased power level. And that a fuel return system for even mild power increases over stock is absolutely needed. And I have posted in the past on this and I realize not everyone agrees. If I’m wrong about this and it’s not absolutely needed, then most people agree it’s still a good inclusion for More Power upgrades later. If the others are wrong instead, kaboom. The fuel return helps insure consistent fuel pressure and this is critical to long term engine reliability. And again, APS is the only vendor that puts it in the standard kit. I like a company that is looking out for me.
APS also puts in the upgraded engine oil pan which increases oil capacity, has baffling for enhanced oil pickup, and has cooling fins that help keep the oil cool. Good oil flow and heat control are critical to the lives of our engines.
I know I am overkill on these safety and reliability issues, but that has served me well over the years. I stay with what works, as much bullet proof safety engineered into the system as possible, and companies that think that way as well. Whether you need it or not.
You can buy these types of components separately and add them to any kit, but I like them all integrated into the kit. And tested together for proper interaction before installation. Throw in the dual ball bearing turbos for quick spool with oil lubrication and water cooling and you’re set IMO.
