CBE+LTH+GTM supercharger tuned=500whp and that gentlemen is fkin awesome!

Don't need a CARB expemtion order for cat-back-exhaust. You do need them for hi flow cats and headers though.

Another side note: CBE exhaust are only good for about 5hp based on dozens of before and after dyno results. An yeah, I get that a SC engine will flow more exhaust and be more restrictive, but it's going to be how much, 7hp difference?

Another side note: There's no way to know which kit is making more power without running them back to back on the same dyno. I have seen as much as 40hp difference in readings on my own car based on temp, alt and dyno manufacturer differences. One of my dyno guys says you can tinker with the settings to get the dyno to read higher or lower as well.

Nearly stock torque #'s at low rpm is typical for centrifugal supercahrgers. The faster you spin them, the more boost they make. Positive displacement superchargers, on the other hand, reach maximum boost at roughly 1/3rd of maximum operating speed, meaning you have full boost at 2,500 engine rpm.

The torque curve that the GTM kit makes looks typical for a positive displacement supercharger and I'm amazed that they are getting that out of a centrifugal charger.

Oh I'm aware of the TQ characteristics with a Centrifugal SC, but was just shocked to see such results from the GTM. Personally, I think the low end TQ would be more fun to have. I mean top end HP is great and all but when you are already at 400+ HP what's another 20 over some serious TQ 500-1000 RPM sooner in the powerband. Thats just my opinion though.

It's unfortunate though that the Dyno for the GTM and STILLEN do not start at the same RPMs. One starts at roughly 3k and the other at 3.5k.

If they both started at 3k that would make for a great comparison.

Edit- Comparison in positive gains not in overall peak number. Different dynos etc but they both did baselines so a overall gain can be determined.

A CBE is more like 15 hp on a stock engine, atleast thats what FIs and Berks and allo them dynos show. HFCs installed after a CBE is about 5 hp.

agree about the dyno, Ive been trying to get an answer on what dyno GTM used.

The torque curve of the GTM kit is great. I want to know how the torque curve changes, if at all, with the other stages.

GTM uses a dynojet, I believe.

This isn't directed to anyone in particular, but these dyno comparisons are getting silly. There are simply too many variables involved when comparing dyno numbers. Correction factors, boost pressure, ambient temps, baro pressures are just a few of the factors involved. Not to mention, the two kits have entirely different tunes and are on entirely different sides of the country. To accurately compare the two, they need to be installed on bone stock cars, same types of transmission, same dyno, same conditions.

Agree for the most part, except both companies are in Southern CA.

Yup. I live like 5 min. away from Stillen.

I'm about 15 :p

Gosh dangit, for some reason I had AAM's location in my mind, on the East coast. I'll take my licks for that one :icon17:

What will the price be for the stage 1 kit after the introductory price ends?
 

I have seen the question asked atleast six times and still have not seen an answer yet, or may be I just read over it. I will ask it again: How long will the introductory price last? What will the price be for the stage 1 kit after the introductory price ends? Thanks

Sorry about that. and the answer is to to the end of the month .

Just need to finish few things on the dyno and will be here to answer them all, including your other thread.
