Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

Kyle@STILLEN · 02-26-2010, 06:53 PM

Today's testing went extremely well!

We had a few goals today and quite a lot of data logging equipment inside the car. We were monitoring a lot of different data points and wanted to put the car through stressful environments, high speed tests, hard launch tests and more to see how everything would perform. We are extremely proud to say that the test could not have been better. Steve was able to really lean on the car and push it hard. We started out with a few simple high speed runs to well over 120+ MPH. Then after that was done we switched over to a tight course to really load up the car and try to get it warm and pushing hard. Then finished up with some really hard driving and let the tires burn!!!

It was really good that we were able to test the supecharger on the automatic gearbox G37. It really proved that the gearbox could handle the power and we were all impressed with its performance. Smooth clean shifts every time and no hang ups at all. Most impressive was the performance during the abuse tests...You'll see the video's on that soon!

At the end of the day Steve commented on how impressed he was with the low-end performance and responsiveness. We all know that centrifugals are known for having a lag similar to turbo's but he was commenting on how impressed he was with the ability to stand on the throttle at lower RPM to aid the car in rotating through the corner. Which is something that he was very concerned about.

I will update this post later tonight with some photos and a short teaser video.

Here is the short teaser video that Josh shot on his Iphone...We know it's not super HD quality but it should be good for now. You can see everyone standing around with cameras and what not we will edit the footage next week when things slow down a little.

Judging from some of the other posts on this thread, not everyone knows that, LOL.
