My Stillen super charger story....
 

I will try to keep my review fair and to the point. Keep in mind i am not a professional driver and i don't have any track experience. so the point of view is that of your average joe daily driver with a led foot and past speeding tickets to show for it!

So my setup is as follows: Stillen super charger, high flow cats, cat back exhaust, and racing oil cooler. *Obviously the oil cooler has no impact on performance; just cooling. I should also note that i originally started out with the silver (lower psi) pulley and above config minus the high flow cats. Without the HFC, the car had more noticable power, however, I did not feel the added power until i hit 5500 rpm and above....at that point the car took off. I was told by more than one person that it was very quiet for a super charger.

In come the High Flow Cats; with this addition alone, it was like someone took the cork out of the bottle. Not a major power increase, but enough of a change to notice. The car flowed better from 1st to 2nd to 3rd primarily in the below 5500rpm range. At this stage the car had been tuned by Horsepower Logic in West Palm Beach and was pulling 343WHP on a Mustang dyno.

Next change was the original pulley (higher psi). With this addition, Horsepower Logic did a re-tune and now the car is pulling 390WHP on the Mustang dyno (see below). The power comes on in direct correlation to the throttle position. And i have to say, with the addition of the high flow cats, the car now has a distinct sound on the outside. Before, people were saying they didn't really hear much from it. Now it sings!

I know some of you will ask, so, i use 93 octane, and according to Horsepower Logic the car is running at approx 9.5 psi. This is my first car review, so i apologize for anything i left out; let me know if there are any questions. Here is the dyno:

*i'm sorry, but i don't have a pre-super charger dyno

Well all sounds good. Now I am unsure what you ment but just to make sure I understand you felt the power difference after you had a custom tune? Also can you comment on the stillen tune such as driveabilty, starting, and psi it was pushing while on the stillen tune. Thanks for your review I love reading truthfull ones where we get accurate info. +1 rep for your time providing info to the community

What did you do different that RCZ did?!?!? Thanks for spending the time to give us your honest op.

Well, let's just say the Stillen provided ecu tunes aren't worth mentioning :icon17: All i can really say about them is i had to wait for the 7th or 8th tune before the car was driveable. At that point i drove the car to Horsepower Logic :tup: So yes, my car is custom tuned. And by the way, it was custom tuned by Horsepower Logic, the same place RCZ had his tuned. The only difference between his car and mine is that he has headers whereas i have stock headers. I did communicate with RCZ and confirmed his setup.

+1 rep to you sir! Nice short post, straight to the point and data to show the results. Perfect example of how information should be relayed to the community:tup:

your power is right on spot dude! congrats!

Big congrats again buddy, for comparison last time I dynoed there with full bolt ons I made 290somethinh I think. You made the same power I did on that dyno.

very very nice!!

I'm jealous now, I need to get a custom tune already! Screw the CARB and warranty!

great review thanks!.

Thank you for the review Matt!

...As already stated...these cars respond very well to the Stillen SC kit and with a little dyno time they shine!!!...I will say that running a MINIMUM of 93octane for these cars is IMPERATIVE. You will never get the benefits of boost without high quality fuel. That being said this kit performs very well and feels fantastic!!...highly recommended (for those on the fence)....and as long as you can get it on the dyno for a proper tuning session you will have no regrets!

you will not be dissapointed with Jack and his tuning abilities!

Uh, yah! I'm surprised you haven't gotten a custom tune yet! But for those of you with the kit in Florida, take the drive over to West Palm and have Jack tune it.

Anyone know what gas station(s) sell higher than 93 octane?

well, I'm looking around for a tuner already and there's only 2 uprev tuner in my area.1 of them is super busy where he doesn't even pick his phone lol. the other one just went on a vacation and be back on Monday. Wondering if your tuner can get me a base map?

Send Jack a PM, he knows a lot about this kit. Nissan 370Z Forum - View Profile: HP Logic
