Seems the kit has problems once people start trying to get it to do more than what it is designed for since it isn't really the highest hp/torque build but I think if kept tame it should be ok. I would probably look into a speed density ecutek tune since I believe the maf readings get messed up with the stillen charger. Also would be nice if there was a way to but an iat sensor into the intake manifold for true after charger temp. I would just stress that your after safe and reliable and not big numbers (and of course Seb is always great).


I ran the stock Stillen set up on a 7AT for a couple years and it held but every time we changed the fluid it was full of clutch material. You can do it but it's only going to last so long if you drive the car hard.

Guess I am definatly going to need to do some trans upgrades then, since I am planning on a AAM TT build and want to reach atleast 450-500whp.

If you are going to drive it hard you will! I also tracked my Z a lot so if you only punch it occasionally between stoplights you might be okay for a while.
