Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

Kyle@STILLEN

We definitely appreciate the input!

In regards to the supercharger finish, keep in mind that our prototype that we're testing with is the polished version of the blower. There is a less expensive option which will be the raw cast aluminum finish. I don't know yet what the pricing difference will be but aesthetically it could change some things.

Right now we're kind of in "make it work" mode not so much, make it pretty.

So you're saying it's not working?

Haha just messing

Hearing that you will offer a raw aluminum finish is good news. I was thinking of possibly doing some sort of wrinkle finish on the manifold. Well, it sounds right in my head at least...

The wrinkle finish would look pretty cool! I think that we will actually be doing a wrinkle finish, although I'm not sure on that. It's funny because wrinkle finish looks really good on the manifolds but smooth black powder coat looks really good on the charge pipe where a wrinkle black would look too industrial in my opinion...Kind of odd how those two different finishes on two different components right next to each other can look so good.

I just realized I completely misread your post. For some reason I thought you were talking about the intake manifold finish, and not the supercharger's. This makes more sense as Vortech always offers a satin finish and a polished finish.

But, doing a wrinkle finish on the intake manifold would look good. Its just a matter of making everything else match well.

Looks like a lot of work you put in there! Looks good!

looks great

Haha, nah no heart attack here.

I'm on here so often because this is how I take breaks from work. It distracts me and takes my stress away. I can't be the only one on this boat. I think if I worked at a place like Stillen I'd be happy all the time.

Back on topic... for me its either polished or covered in some sort of heat insulation. My last turbo was that cast aluminum finish and it looked terrible, I want polished or wrinkle-something this time around.
