SC Install resulted in 50 more HP...suggestions needed

You need a custom tune. The stillen kit is critically flawed, but you can get a safer, more powerful setup with a custom tune until you can ditch the garbage intercooler setup sometime down the line.

It doesn't feel like the sc mustang since that's most likely a positive displacement blower, and the stillen is a centrifugal.

I agree with Chuck and others...get rid of the canned tune it will just cause problems.
Also, the 110-120 "they" say you should get, is this coming from Stillen themselves? No offense but do not trust the ad they throw around, also their final numbers are under perfect dyno conditions. This means no heat soak on the tiny heat extractor OR water, properly tuned for your car, and running in cool weather with zero humidity.

I think you have just experienced exactly how 'good' the Stillen canned tune is

Seb with Specialty Z gets rave reviews for remote tuning - he's an extremely experienced tuner with excellent customer service and response time
