I would start to get worried if they try selling them, which would mean to me financial trouble lol. Also who is the owner of stillen just wondering since you seemed to get a nice tour of the place maybe the question was already asked? I kind of like how they have there hands in to everything though but damn I really wish they made a after market rear bumper since I like the design of there urethane front bumper. Thanks again man rep added for pics of the shop I really love when people get to take tours and all.

Frank,

Please let us know if you're ever in Southern California, we would love to give you the tour and let you meet everyone here, as well as Steve Millen.

Steve has been involved with professional racing his entire life, and with Nissan's for a good part of his racing career, including the winninest driver in IMSA Sports Car series with a Nissan 300ZX, and raced just about everything with 4 wheels. He personally is involved with all areas of development and manufacturing, and is 100% the driving force behind STILLEN.

Here's a recent article done by Autoblog, complete with the Targa Rally he just came back from in the STILLEN GT-R.. I'm sure you'll enjoy the video: Steve Millen returns home to tackle Targa New Zealand [w/Video] — Autoblog

Maybe just longtubes vs stillen then?

Josh or Kyle, any plans for a 10psi pulley soon?
Raul, we can cut any pulley for any boost level you'd like to run.. and are also interested to see what the LTH can do with the STILLEN Supercharger. Let's discuss..

Awesome I hope some day I can make it there to take you up on this offer. I would love to take a tour and see how ever day business gets done. I was loving the pics that Weiboy sent and if you guys ever have any that you would like to share please post. I can't begin to express how much i love to see where the magic is being made and how things are set up and how they work. I don't want to de-rail your thread completely but when Weiboy posted those pics i got excited and jealous lol. I got into the high performance deal of cars a little late due to child hood life and not being able to afford any of that stuff. I am the type of person that doesn't want to look at things that I can't afford. Maybe in your spot on the forum you can create a "About Stillen thread and post some pics of staff and the history of Stillen. I believe that the info provided by you and Kyle is very crucial since I for one did not know any of that and was unaware of the history of Steve Millen. Just a idea since like i said I am a huge person on wanting to know where a company has been and where there going. Not to throw a competitor in there but this is why I love GTM so much since Sam is directly involved in everything like Mr.Millen is and he took the time like you guys just did to explain to me the history of GTM.

Once again Josh and Kyle thank you very much for the info, it was a pleasure to read.
Frank

PS do you guys plan on making a Urethane rear bumper to go with your front bumper? If not please do that way when i get my front bumper I can eventually upgrade the rear one to have a full body kit Lol. Ok ok done de-railing this lol thanks again

I think I'm going to try out a 10psi pulley. Is there any way to see what boost it makes at what RPM in WOT before I actually install it? I ask because I rarely redline the car, usually only using about 8.5ish psi.

We know that there are a lot of people who don't know the full STILLEN story and we have been discussing the best way to get the information out there. Unfortunately it's hard to cram everything into a short 5-10 minute video. Here is a little video that the guys from The Smoking Tire did when they stopped by. It shows a little bit about what we do here and gives a little history on the company and Steve Millen.

Raul- You may want to try something different depending on what your ultimate goals are. Are you looking for more horsepower or more bottom end? It might be time to try out what we were talking about a few months ago!

Can anybody say what the difference in gas mileage is under normal commute type driving conditions (ie mostly highway)?

I have put a few thousand miles on some of our test cars however the only time that I actually monitored the fuel mileage was on the way home from a hill climb race. It was primarily highway type driving but there were also some mountain passes and slow cities that I had to go through and I averaged 27 MPG with speeds as high as 75-80 sustained and as low as 25 MPH for short intervals while traveling through some small towns.

I achieved 25mpg on the way from San Antonio to Seattle. I was trying to get the best MPG i could and 25 was the tops. However i am running a bit rich right now with out a tune, according to those who mentioned my AFR after looking at my dyno sheet.

But seriously we don't need to continue to slam these guys. They are posting and being involved in the thread and peoples builds are coming along.

Toner- As Josh (AKA "tall fat white guy") pointed out, the President of STILLEN is Steve Millen. I'm also his son, a lot of people think Dad has stepped back over the years but he definitely has not. Overall we have three buildings in Costa Mesa, with a little over 100,000 square feet of real estate between our warehouse/distribution center, fabrication and manufacturing facility and the main HQ which houses sales & marketing, customer service, service department/installation center, R&D, in-house CNC machine shop, modeling shop (body kit studio), and urethane manufacturing. We have been in business for 25 years with Steve being in charge every day and closely involved in every project.

To elaborate on what Josh said regarding Steve, his has won more championships and set more pole positions than any other driver in IMSA history. He also won the 24 hours of Le Mans, 12 hours of Sebring (twice) and twenty four hours of Daytona when he raced professionally for NISSAN in the #75 300ZX. In the same car he also won two world championships in 1992 and 1994 and was leading the championship in 93 but due to an accident at Walkins Glen with a few races left in the season he was unable to complete the season. If memory serves me correctly though, he had such a big lead up 'til that point that he actually almost won the championship even though he didn't compete in the last few races.

One amazing fact about Steve, he has never lost a single race in his career in the rain. We won't be selling the toys any time soon but we do regularly sell some of the show cars. For example, the red and silver and orange mustang that you see in those pictures from Weiboy are for sale. The yellow one will be for sale in a few months I think. We have to make room in the shop for the new projects some how!

As much as i bash stillen. They give a good tour. Josh is a really nice guy and their one shop I saw was great. Nice to see a company take the time to show potential customers around. Lets us get a really good picture of where our (well not mine) parts are coming from.
