Clearly this thread was a review and all the replies had nothing to do with it other than throwing useless comments from some people that don't even own an FI system.

Most people that run high numbers on TT'ed stock blocks(VQ platform) will never drive their car or abused them a track on a constant base. IF so, let's see how long those blocks will last. It is proven that the vq's can't abused when tt'ed on a constant base. If someone wants a reliable TT kit, that will cost nothing close to the stillen kit. There is no reliable TT kit at 10k lol, not even for an older car like the 350z.

I don't quit get it why people keep on crying about stillen gains. Stillen has a kit for the VQ35's and it is proven to be a reliable kit but with no crazy gains opposed to most FI systems out there. It's been out for years. Seems about the same concept to me in regards their new kit being offered to you guys. The kit is tuned conservatively and comes with a huge vortech blower. There is still room for improvement if people wants to play with it(ex:smaller blower pulley)

If you do the math, it was never cheap to gain power on a vq engine. How many of you have purchased, hfc, catbakcs, intakes, etc.. Think how much all the bolt ons cost you and make the hp gains/dollar calculation. After that compare to the price of a supercharger kit in terms of hp gains per dollar.

Stillen is offering a reliable COMPLETE kit with decent power gains, awesome customer support, lots of engineering behind their kit, testing, and reliability... for the price is worth it. I don't own one, but I've been close to one of their kits since they released it enough to have an opinion.

He's right! What's wrong with that? The OP Is trying to give a good review and some of you guys just like to throw a bashing party on Stillen when ya'll don't even have the kit. Let the people who has it bash. you don't see the Stillen guys talking ****. The mod should come in here and delete the useless post or threads from people bad comments.

Look man, if everybody will be nice this can be a good community. So instead of talking **** why don't everybody just share their thoughts and help. Keep your bad comments to yourself.

Besides acting like a kid and bashing on a product why don't you keep your immature comments to yourself. You don't even own a Stillen kit or have dealt with one lol...If you like TT's and don't like the Stillen kit. AWESOME! nothing wrong with it, but at some point whoever comes into this thread dont't give a damn about what you think...... Obviously, OP created a thread about the kit so people in search of the Stillen kit can get to know more about the kit. It is not a discussion between SC's vs TT's ... People like you truly screw threads that bring useful information to the community.

I have a few questions to the OP that I would like him to follow up on.

I know you mentioned about the slight knock and how it went away when you fueled with 101 octane and it mixed with the 91 octane and it went away. There fore after that you said you try to fill with 93. After you filled with 93 did you notice if the knock went away or was it still present?

Also I was wondering if you plan on bringing it to stillens attention about the starting issue(if we really want to call it that) to see if they can adjust your fuel trim for starting? Like I said this is a easy fix and I think you should notify them of it and get it corrected. Just for the sake of being, after that it will be perfect. Please keep us informed.
Frank
