Im out. I think im doing the same thing. My shop called Stillen today and hopefully they will let me return it and hopefully get a full refund. Waited two months and dont want to wait any longer. Hopefully they figure it out soon for everyone thats been waiting. I think im going to go GTM turbo or sc if they can get it out.

just tired of the waiting game...who say's they are close? they say the same thing every week....oh, we are learning a lot this week...no promises, no ETA...the fact it is very difficult to get in touch with them or even get a follow up with them. The time that my car has been there communication has been very poor. Random issues since my car was there first was the cable that didnt get to them for 2 and half weeks. Than saying my one of my TB was bad and had to get replaced and than now their main issue with tuning. I know Stillen is busy but every other week they take off somewhere leaving me without answers or follow up to let me know how my car is. I am very, very disappoint with Stillen especially since they are a big name that they would have came through the second time around with G/Z crowd. |

I will find out by the end of the week if they will give me a full refund. The only miles i have put on the supercharger is back and forth to to the shop that i got my work done at. Im tired of being strung along. Good luck to everyone else i hope they figure it out soon.

Ok, so wifedrivens numbers are 368hp 279tq on a mustang dyno with stillens SC kit. Best numbers ive see NA so far on a mustang is 324/250(someone actually made 330+hp but could have been a fluke). So for 8-10 grand you get an extra 40hp and 30tq give or take. I realize elevation, temps, etc all are variables in this equation. But seriously.... 8-10grand for what?

Not to say I told you so...but. My STI was down because it was a completely custom rotated big turbo setup. It was all experimental, however, the point of my comment was that my patience was eventually rewarded. With regards to the dyno's. I made 310whp on the mustang when it was cold outside. I made 295 on the same dyno when the weather warmed up. This was on full bolton's + tune. Now with the weather significantly hotter than either of those pulls, my SC made 380ish on that dyno. I have NO doubt I can do a 400whp run in cooler weather and a less heatsoaked car. In other words, I wanted to chime in about the gains over full boltons and tune. I think that in comparable conditions, my car has gained about 80-100whp on a mustang dyno. Thats 100whp over bolt-on's power and 140-160whp over stock. (I baselined 240whp). How does that translate into the more common dynojet? Well I never did a baseline on a dynojet... but the accepted average baseline number is ~275whp for a stock 370z. I dynoed in at 455whp on my SC'd dyno pull that I did a few weeks ago. DO the Math thats 180whp over stock assuming a 275whp baseline. Now, make what you will of those results. I tend to trust Mustang Dynos much more than I trust dynojets. Either way, I will GLADLY take either one of those gains. It's not all that surprising that my tune yields what it does. Its a custom tune + headers + HFC + exhaust. I have a light flywheel and lightened pulley. Oh and 93 Octane gas vs. that crap they have out in california. Everything adds up.
