Dipping a toe in the rabbit hole...
 
I have a ‘17 with 20K miles on it now. I’ve done the simple mods (intakes, exhaust, oil cooler and tune) but looking for a little more ooomph.

I’m leaning towards the Stillen SC. Not looking to set records, but for $10,000 with an upgraded clutch (all installed by Z1) I’m kinda on the fence. Mucho money for minor gains...

I’m leaning towards the SC only cause it’s my DD and reliability is more important to me than a Screamer I’m going to have to baby along in between beating on it.

My wife drives it occasionally so I have to keep that in mind too.

So basically, I know The Stillen doesn’t give me much “bang for the buck”, but I’m intrigued with the supposedly “reliability”.

What say youse guys?

If you really want to go with the SC route, Topgunz is a more reliable "stillen" based kit

Look at a different kit. The stock Stillen kit is not very good for reliability. Topgun has one, SOHO has one, etc.

What can I realistically expect (WHP/TORQUE) with stock injectors and a stock fuel pump?

I have had TopgunZ's system for over two years on my Daily Driver, NO issues with the kit or my car . Its a great kit for stock like driving with MUCH more power and power curve goes along with RPM just like stock but much increased.

Did you upgrade the injectors and fuel pump?

Upgrading the injectors and fuel pump is a MUST for a boosted Z. Better add a fuel return system. Go check CJ motorsports!

wideglideleon 07-11-2019 04:02 PM

Yes I upgraded the Fuel pump and injectors its a necessity. If you want to go E85 you will need the 1050 Injectors, I use the 1000's and have had no issues at all. But TopgunZ has a great price for the 1050's so no reason to go smaller there.
You will of course need a tune after the install.
