Yeah but Gamma has little to no technical ability so I'd question a new design from them. Rebadge (insert banned company name here) is one thing, a completely new design is another entirely.

He did say it would be an add on for those that already had the supercharger and also sold as a whole kit. I messaged him for info and he said he isn't aloud to talk about it at all but that it was coming soon.

I'm planning on going with the Stillen SC this spring/summer. With luck, maybe they will have the ata setup ready by then. If this works out I will gladly do a review of the new kit.

You don't think they contracted Sam out? I do. I think it was a "we need to tell everyone Sam no longer works here to save face". So they "fired" him and probably have in as contract or still on payroll but working remotely.

Im a little worried about even posting the above and opening a rotten can of worms.

Sam is kind of becoming the HeWhoShouldNotBeNamed of this forum.. but wouldn't the above scenario actually be kind of ideal? Sam contracted to do the technical work, Gamma guys handling the business part?

I'm not trying to stir things up either, just thinking out loud =)

In my thread there was also talk about the Gamma guys not being very technical, but during my install they did set me up with one of their kit builders for support and it wasn't Sam.. the guy's name was Jason Rubio. He knew the kit backwards and forwards.

Anyhow - don't want to derail the thread.. just thought I would chime in since I have some experience with Gamma and there isn't a ton of folks that do at the moment.

Well next time your there you should ask about a PD blower. :tiphat:

TopgunZ 01-21-2016 09:37 AM

OK. Who thinks it would be better to make more psi earlier and throughout the rpm band with a lower rev limit VS. making boost later and having it lower throughout the band but have a higher rev limit?

My daughter lives there. I'm not sure how she puts up with all of the snow. Beautiful area but too cold for me. I spent three years in Minot North Dakota. That was the longest three years of my life!

AAM Competition Intake Manifold

I am a bit worried about the manifold. It wasn't designed to hold anywhere close to 15psi. However, maybe it is a better flowing design than the original? Or maybe it will be a choking point? Only time will tell.

Unless someone has some insight on this for us.

AAM Competition just introduced their new manifold ... it is awesome!
Check out their site to pre-order.
It is expected to be available for shipping in March ...

...::drool::...I'm already signed up !!!

[oops] forgot that we are talking Stillen set up

I'd bet my left nut you're 1000% right on this one.

HP/TQ peaks the same?

Got the Traction Problem solved ??? if so then build HP/TQ faster and shift sooner.

TopgunZ 01-21-2016 01:05 PM

I think it would gain peak TQ and HP would be the same. Im talking maxing RPM's from 7500 to maybe 6800.

:iagree:

If you can hook it then the earlier the power the better.
