In all honesty, you think their explanation is logical?

Stormcrow, would be helpful if you'd post a list of your specific technically oriented questions for stillen, e.g.,

1. why is ____ __% different than ...
2. why did you select ___ part, when ___ part is better at ___ by __%
2. ...

Then at least Stillen will have something they can decide to respond to.

Thanks

It's really not all that critical. Some folks are getting all spun up on getting inside information or whether or not their experience/claims are valid. It is all about when this kit will be released, how much it will cost, and what it will deliver with the incorporated parts/settings.

Personally, I am glad it is taking time to make an official release. It gives me more time to save my pennies up.

Hell man, I ate at the chow hall every day, only spent money on toiletries and came home with 40k in the bank, this is as an E6, you should do just fine when you finish over there buddy.

I think people are being a little too sensitive here. Until Stillen comes out with an official release addressing much of what's being discussed this debate will rage on.

Stormcrow, got any more SAT level words you want to force into your every one of your posts? Its amusing how hard you are trying to be taken seriously.


Yeah please lets get this back on track. I'm done posting here until Stillen does or they come up with a new thread. This one has run its course.

So my dealership wants to know, will the Stillen SC kit be sold at the dealerships. The manager told me if i end up getting the kit and let them use it as a show car for a few days they will give me $1000 towards my payments.

We have been selling to dealerships across North America for many, many years. We actually have a division of the company who only handles dealer sales.

This post probably won't suffice some people but it is what it is for now.

Obviously Josh and I are in the marketing department here at STILLEN. Just like any other vendor on this forum, our primary job is to sell. However, we do so through facts, data, and experience that we gather from our engineers, Steve Millen, and our designers. I'm not going to sit here and try to tell anyone that either Josh or I have had a hand in the engineering of the kit. Steve and our engineer's value the opinion of the sales and marketing staff because they recognize that we are the ones talking directly to you guys but I'm not going to pretend like I'm tuning the car or Josh engineered the intake manifold.

In regards to the people who think I'm just spewing out sales pitch after sales pitch. I apologize. That is not what I'm trying to do. In my opinion, the sales pitch starts when the press release is posted. To date I have not promised any horsepower levels, we have not mentioned any price tags, and we have not mentioned any specifics about the kit. All of that will be in the press release.

Stormcrow- You ask good questions, and they will be answered in due time. When we begin selling these kits you will know the most vital facts:

Horsepower output
Boost pressure
Price
Shipping date
And More

We won't announce any of this information seperate from each other because we want to make sure that everyone expects the same things. We are getting phone calls and emails daily from people who are saying "take my card...just charge my card..." We are not going to do that until we can offer the customer all of the necessary information.

Josh and I are extremely proud of this supercharger kit and all of the great products that are coming out of our R&D department lately. We really enjoy talking about these things because we see the testing and engineering going into them.

Thank you for the further clarification, Kyle. Your professionalism is beyond reproach and appreciated. I do look forward to the press release and having my questions answered.

And I do understand the reasons why the dyno was posted, even before the press release and the final numbers are in. Lead generation is a key in marketing a product. I honestly just wish that vendors would not do this as there might be a lot of disappointed people in the end if the production release doesn't match the proposed release. But, that is not for me to worry with. You are certainly not the only vendor to do this and most certainly will not be the last, so some leeway is in order.

BTW, in the fray I have forgotten to ask. Will you guys be running in the Redline series this year?
