The carb stillen kit is one of the most modest FI kits, considering it is a centrifugal blower it will have the most linear high revving power band with minimal torque. This lower torque will help protect the rods and the trans. Overall It should be one of the more reliable FI options, no FI is as reliable as NA but this would probably be the most reliable FI option.

The reason that the Stillen kit has been labeled as unreliable is not because of the power that it produces, but rather the design itself being flawed. This thread (Before Installing Stillen Supercharger) goes over the issues. Basically MAF before intercooler = bad.

I’m sure the unreliability is hyped up a bit since people are less likely to report good results than to bash it if they have a problem. But Bottom line.. there are better options.
