Tom, Stillen didnt lie, they extensively tested their kit in every situation they could and on several cars. Chances are though that when they did the testing they used normal osiris software with normal tunes, which they assumed would be no different when they used the other software/tune. It seems there's a glitch thats causing headaches. If the kit/tune works perfect on custom tuned cars then it can be absolutely fixed. Its really unfair to expect that they could predict that problem and test for it before the fact.

They really didnt do extensive testing since they didnt test their tuning solutiuon according to u. They would of had a better idea of the problems if they used the hardware (two different pullys) and the software from the kit they are selling.

Your credibility suffers when you try to sell GTM products every single post you type. You do it so much that I now associate you with GTM, their company and their products. I wonder if that's what Sam wants..

Also, as far as I know, there are no results yet other than your "6 psi" pulley and all the other results that people don't want to post until everything is as it should be. There's a whole other thread about the results, why don't we see any dyno graphs posted on there?

I'm making a lot of logical assumptions based on what we know. Like Buzz's post and everyone else who has been dealing with the issue. It seems to be that they didnt expect there to be a glitch with the tuning software considering they had been using the software on every car they tested successfully.

Anyway, not here to defend Stillen. I'm a customer, the results will speak eventually even their reps themselves won't. I don't blame them for not posting with how easily everything can be twisted to mean something else.

That's pretty funny of you to say since most people on here associate you with Stillen.

Afraid I’m going to have to respectively disagree regarding Stillens “extensive” R+D and testing program. Basically dropped out of this list and in fact tried to trade my Z for a new 5.0 Mustang. The fly in the ointment was the Ford dealership wanted my Z for nothing.

Almost every single thing I’ve purchased (especially from Stillen) either didn’t fit properly or didn’t work properly. And, especially did not produce the advertised results. Stillen headers, intake, oil cooler, CBE, Cobb tuner, etc. etc. etc. None of it is on the car currently. The only thing I can give five stars to were the Berk cats and the Stillen underdrive pulley. (which I’m sure Sillen doesn’t make)

Stillen’s support was virtually null and had the balls to try and blame me for the headers and exhaust not fitting right due to the install. (ya, me and dozens of others boogered up the install)

The bottom line is after six months of not being on this list I’ve read this entire string in disbelief and frustration. Very sorry to hear how incompetent some of the aftermarket manufacturers are and that more people do not avoid them.

Signed: a future old fart driving a Vette obviously because I don’t get it.
