Its nice knowing you can post a question in the thread and have a response in a reasonable amount of time.

True, there are actually dozens of variables to consider, power delivery and price are just the main things, for me at least.

My point is that all this speculation, who's farther ahead in R&D, who's first to release, etc. is pointless until both GTM and Stillen release all the details themselves.

SOOOOOO whats going on with stillens supercharger, i mean I know it takes a while for R&D, but I think its about that time where we should see what we should be saving up for in my opinion. Maybe some numbers? Pics of SOMETHING?

There are pics of the new manifold Stillen will be using over the "Stillen estimates" thread. Take a look over there eager beavers...

just wanted to point something out- when most of us talk about power delivery we do not mean max power. supras have great max power but the delivery sucks. sooo... just something to think about

Posted some additional information regarding the STILLEN Supercharger, intake manifold, and specifically regarding the intercooler setup chosen, along with reasons why.

Excellent write up. I look forward to seeing HP ratings of the intercooler when they become available.

Thanks again Stillen!

Just read the posting. I'm very interested to see how the air-to-water intercooler perform with your kit. Keep up the good work!

Josh@STILLEN · 01-16-2010, 11:53 PM

As promised.. here's some additional information and rendered CAD designs of the intake manifold in action.. along with some of the benefits..

Thats awesome!

So will the stock compression be alright with the stillen S/C? I read it is safer for F/I, but is it a thing I should add to the prep list?

BLUESLATE · 01-17-2010, 03:40 AM

VHR motors have been able to withstand quite a bit of power with FI, but adding supporting mods such as upgraded radiator, engine/tranny/diff coolers, clutches and etc won't hurt!
