That is probably why Stillen hasn't released info/dyno's on the two other kits yet. They are probably testing them to get a "safe" tune as we speak. I don't know much about tuning, but I wouldn't go as far to say that it won't be safe. It comes with an engine warranty as long as its not custom tuned...We know the s/c (CARB legal) can handle heavy stress on the track for an afternoon or however long they tested it for. I want to know what its going to be like for everyday driving as my Z is my daily driver. I'm sure it will be ok, as Stillen has been working on this kit for a year(as they've said), and they will make sure its a reliable product. That said, we just have to have a bit more patience and see what comes.

Also, they said that they will have magazines do reviews on the kit. So there will be an unbiased analysis.

Does the Stillen SC require us to remove and not re-install the cross-bracing?

The supercharger fits under the FSTB, according to Stillen.

If anyone actually thought that I meant you can install the supercharger and drive 100% safely for 500,000 miles I apologize. I guess I was too generic. Obviously there are other factors that come in to play that are out of our hands as well as out of the hands of the owner of the car.

If the supercharger is installed correctly and you always use 91 (or higher) octane fuel. And you do regular oil changes and maintenance. Then you will have a reliable vehicle. We have numerous customers with hundreds of thousands of miles on our previous supercharger systems who have never had any issues.

Saying your tune is 100% safe isn't generic...it's pretty darned specific. And, again, I say this is an outright untruth.

I am leaving this thread now. I am sure a lot of s will be grateful. It seems that no matter the level of fact presented, most will always believe the hype that vendors toss at them. My parting advice is for everyone to research thoroughly your options or you will eventually regret going F/I.

Kyle@STILLEN

That is correct- The supercharger does fit under the front strut tower brace.

I am a firm promoter of custom tuning. Each car is different and has its own set of quirks, therefore it should be tuned specifically for those differences. That is only true to a certain extent though because shelf-tunes (non-custom) have been getting better and better over time due to the adjustability of the software and increased consistency from one car to the next. You may be able to squeeze a few more horses out of the tune by going custom, but that will almost surely also mean that you are pushing the tune a bit more and making it less safe.

Stillen (or any tuner for that matter) can't have cars blowing up everywhere so I'm sure they are leaving a good margin of safety that they feel comfortable with. Specially with the tunes that are warrantied. People should not be worried about the safety of their engine unless they are modifying the kit or the tune or have a setup that is not suitable to running the SC.

Although I could very easily custom tune the car after I get the kit from Stillen, I am not going to do it. I think their tune is going to come at least 95% of the way there and that is acceptable to me when considering how much of a safety net I need in this climate.

True that and if canned tunes werent any good, isnt that kinda what they do to the ECU to begin with? I mean they dont sit there an tune every car individually coming from the factory. But they should, damn them.

Please elaborate. Were these OEM turbo cars or OEM N/A cars with aftermarket turbo kits? Being that you mention diverter valves and replacing them with non-OEM, I am going to wager the former? If so, then this is an apples to oranges comparison.

With that logic, you should go into tuning! You certainly understand it enough to make the pros jealous.

common... its a forum, give the guy a break...all he is trying to do is get answers for his questions (which are somewhat valid) and try to get his message across to not take in every word the mfg claims to be the truth and(or) final... especially for those hypebeasts who drool all over em (or whoever listens to the hyping of those hypebeasts)... although i agree with some of you that storm doesnt really know when to stop and even steeps lower when talking to a wall... anyways back on topic guys...

Kyle is there a way to extend ur intro pricing way past tax season?

Where are the videos, its been REALLY long, we NEED not want to hear the sounds and compare. The gtm was too quiet, I am hoping this sounds like I actually bought something for my car haha.

lemansz20

Videoooossss!!!

OMG37

reading these last few posts just reminds me why I sometimes defer from even reading forums...too many a$$hats with too many opinions.

I'm sure Kyle and Josh love seeing your ignorance and childish crap posted in their thread...I know I certainly don't. It's annoying when I have to filter through your garbage to find something relavent to the reason why I subscribed to the thread.

Stick to topic...this post is about Stillen's SC.
