Help everyone out by at MINIMUM giving an update. I dont want to see you guys as those companies giving all the updates when they are trying to sell something only, and then neglecting when the problems start. You guys are better then that.
As of right now most of the people who has this kit can drive their car with this new tune. Only problem is it needs more power on higher rpms. I'm sure Stillen is trying their best to refine that latest tune for everybody. It's probably best to give them a call directly if you want more answers.

Its not for me, I am just saying. That last thing I read, was someone actually got the new tune and his car was still running oddly.

I hope they get this fixed, b/c we are getting real interested in it, and we need something that attracts a little attention to the car at shows. THe gtm is just way to hidden, and I am sure like I would be, if I spend my money I wanna see what I spent my money on everytime I open the hood

Not sure I follow? So your at a show, and all you want is this massive chrome housing under the hood? So a twin turbo setup would be worse at a show? A show is just that, SHOW...not go. Most are trailer queens and/or gaudy body kit conventions.

How about this...

-People will see that massive FMIC (if you want), which yours wont have.
-You can put a nice info board next to the car which immidiatly catches people's eye for being something that 'looks' important.
-From reports it sounds like you can most definitly 'hear' GTMs charger/valve which would get people pondering.

So ya, its kind of a lame excuse. The fact is GTM is a fab house style company that gives one-off style type quality in their products. This is also one of those cases where your not getting what you paid for, where as your getting more so from GTM. Stillen at this point just feels like an APC style company where its just about getting to market as quickly as possible for mass production. Two very different strategies.

Good luck.

Danny, No offense but you have no idea our needs or wants for a show vehicle. Second, you are a GTM protector as I call it, and you dont know what Stillen is doing to fix this, so you know nothing. GTM has had its problems, but you barely have an argument b/c their products are not out their yet like the stillen is.

As for us wanting something for show, yes the stillen looks like their is something their as where a turbo or gtm s/c doesnt. A front mount means nothing to me, as I have had it and I prefer the setup of the Stillen. It works on factory cars, so to me thats what I trust. A front mount is good, but living in miami, a watercooled system is better due to the traffic.

So honestly you have no say in what WE want. You can love GTM all you want, but the fact is each company will have its problems whether its now or down the road. At least they are trying to work with everyone to fix it.

You quoted him, bolded the statement, and then didn't bother to read it. He didn't say no one is running it.

Ya the visuall diferances between the 2 kits is huge. If you want to have all your engine mods in your face then Stillen is the way to go. I personally wanted the stelth look. I even managed to get it accross the border without paying duty on it. although i drove really slow to and from the customs booth. lol


But the looks of the 2 kits is subjective. The real issues lies in the quality and delivering what was advertized. As far as I can see Stillen has not produced the numbers they advertized. And seeing as this kit is out for about a year now i would think the tune should be fine tuned by now.

I have been to both shops and I definatly get the feeling that stillen thinks they are bigger and better. I even showed them the CF stearing wheel cover Danny made for the G37b and they just sort of laughed at it like why is a guy so small even making this. I was not the only one that got hat impression my dad did too.

I hope that stillen is working hard on this tune still and gets it right for you guys. I just hope they have not said screw it and moved on to the next project they can make money on
