Comparing performance is not easy, so that will be somewhat subjective. I'll probably compare dyno graphs and boost level. Also, with more boost a pulley change away, I'll work in some value of upgradability into the total cost of ownership over the life of the kit. |
I would say its a VERY safe bet to assume the Stillen kit will NOT be cheaper than the GTM. GTMs $5k intro price shocked everyone. I hope Stillen follows suit and offers a very agressive intro price, but with their new intake manifold, air-to-water setup, etc Id be amazed if they matched or beat that $5k price point.
