Am I the only one that thinks this is REALLY steep for those gains.

In my opinion if Stillen is to come out with a FI Supercharger kit, the "safe" gains would have to be at least 75 whp and over 75 ft lbs of torque. And the price should be under $7500 all done....everything needed for a proper install and tune. I mean worst case scenario! Guys at Stillen can you comment on this logic? Anything with less gains or greater price would cause me any MANY others I know to be happy with our cars power or wait and buy our next car with more power from the factory. Maybe this is just a rant....thoughts???

your right but the reason why their so expensive is because you get a CARB
supercharger and the warranty, thats about it. i dont find it reasonable to pay 7k for 75 hp and 75 trq

if you think about it your spending 7000 dollars so shouldnt you get at least 150-200 hp?

tt kits should go for 5-6k (if it gives you 300-350hp) but superchargers should go for 3-4k (if it gives you 200-250hp) that would be a reasonable price for me.

another thing is it would be the first supercharger out so there is no doubt that its going to cost an arm and a leg.
