Stillen supercharger long term reports

Pro4Jackster

It looks like you have been working towards getting a supercharger from day 1 (Live in Cali, bought a 7at, 4.08 FD, headers and full exhaust). Supercharger seems like the next logical step for this car. Especially if/when Uprev gets enough control over VVEL to take advantage of the extra exhaust flow. People are going to recommend you to go back to stock exhaust manifolds and cats, but I would never do it. Not for the few horsepower Stillen says you'll gain back. It's cheap and easy to just add more CFM instead (pulley down, or impeller swap).

Take your time deciding. Both SC and Turbo cars are fast. When you compare apples to apples, they both get the job done (And by apples to apples, I mean comparing a 450 whp SC car to a 450 whp turbo car). But, they both have very different characteristics. Find a way to drive both, or at least ride in both. I did not. I had the Stillen first on my HR. Then later drove a Single Turbo Z and realized I made the wrong choice. Educate yourself on the differences and how they both work. That way, no matter which one you choose, you can set it up the right way the first time.
