Assuming the shop I take it to doesn't have a dyno...is the car safe to drive just to get it to one that DOES have a dyno? Or would driving it at all with the FI stuff installed screw things up?

I'm only asking because I know someone who owns an aftermarket shop, so I may get a litle better deal in terms of man hours, but they don't have a dyno..

If its on the sh!t stillen can tune then yes you can drive it.

So what you're saying is if I want to go FI I should get the most expensive install I can possibly find? LoL How does that make sense? I'm trying to find the best possible bang for my buck. I'm trying to do it right the first time...no mistakes. That's the whole point.

Anything you guys suggest I can afford flat out...trust me. It's not about the money.

Sorry man, you aren't going to get close to 500whp with the Stillen kit. 450 is a slightly more realistic number and that's high. I don't have this kit, but I would expect a pulley upgrade, 928 impeller upgrade, custom tuning, full exhaust, idk... will take some work. If 500 is your goal, I would look elsewhere.

elperuano · 03-18-2013, 05:08 PM

Nice! Wish we had that grade of gas here at the pumps... 93 is the highest I believe. Some parts have 94.

don't look for the greatest deal, look for the most reputable and effective. Some places will transport your car to their shop if it's far away and will do the work. I'd rather do that then go with Stillen and a dealer. But that's a personal opinion.

LoL..yeah it's looking like a unanimous decision on the dealer. But in terms of a deal I was referring to the parts themselves.. As in if there's a reliable site offering a SC kit for 9k and another offering the same one for 6k.. I'd definitely prefer the one for 6k.

Btw I appreciate everyone's input.

I am of the same opinion!
For such a conversion, just go to an experienced tuner

Good luck, no one said to go for the most expensive kit. You chose to go with the cheapest and most inferior kit. Hope it turns out good for you.

What other kit would you suggest?

elperuano · 03-18-2013, 05:40 PM

You only have 2 options if ur staying with SC. Stillen and Gtm. Quick search you'll find some guys runnin Gtm SC with far better numbers. Ask Baer383. I believe he's the highest hp on SC around here. Over 500 but using meth.

If ur goin turbo there's lots of kits out there that will hit the mark u want with ease. Price wise is not that much difference from a SC. Believe the cheapest all together including labor will be the BP kit.
