chuck33079 - weve all done our research on stillen. we all know its flaws. we all know topgunz sells an a-a kit, and we all know the benefits to it. your not the only one that "knows everything". stillens kits install in 4 hours on the ground, that's the only reason I went with it. and that includes installing a 34 row z1 setrab oil cooler kit and a frozenboost intercooler. and your right, I already has a stage 4 clutch installed with a lightweight flywheel, tilton racing master and a zspeed slave. but again, installing a clutch in one of these can be done in under an hour on a hoist so its not like I saved much time.

At no point did I claim I knew everything. And, had you filled your first post with the additional info you just posted, it would have made a lot more sense. Once you added in all of the things you listed, what's your final otd cost? Still under the 10k?

chuck33079 - you make no sense. no kits come with clutch upgrades, so if your going to add that price to the stillen kit then I guess we need to jump the rjm kit to 20k just so it has all your "supporting mods that are mandatory due to chucks law" . and I mean why stop there? lets add a forged block to the kit too and a quafe diff. the only thing mandatory is the oil cooler kit - and stillen offers their gold cooler for free, but I already had z1's better cooler. Theres countless forums on what can be improved on stillens kit, but if you think theyre wont be pages upon pages on the rjm kit, youre again wrong, just wait till its released.

No kits come with all the upgrades you need. That's well known. That doesn't mean that you don't need them, or that you don't figure in the cost of them when planning your project. You're right, supporting mods are not necessarily mandatory. But, a lot of them are a damn good idea when you're adding forced induction to a car that came from the factory NA.

Remember when I said

? I mean, your first post as a member of this forum was refuting it (even though you spent much closer to that 10k mark than originally stated once you added in the other parts you had already installed).

Where in there did I specify that those numbers were only the cost of the kit? In fact, the phrase "out the door" traditionally means your total all-in cost.
