Stillen supercharger long term reports

It only took adding a vented hood, oil cooler, 7AT cooler, frozen boost cooler, CSF triple pass radiator(not really for the 7AT but I used it anyway), Stillen front bumper, deleting the windshield washer fluid tank, adding fans, venting the wheel well liners and lots of moving parts around.
