Do yourself a favor a enjoy the kit without getting hung up on the numbers. The Stillen kit along with a good tune made my car a blast to drive and I hope it does the same for you.

Good advice...some people are never satisfied with what they have whether it's 500hp or 1000hp.

That's part of modifying your car, it will always be a money pit but as long as we're happy at the end of the day.

Just to add my.02 in cause I was down this road . The stock kit in NO SHAPE or form will make 460 WHP , just not going to happen . Before. I had my car custom tuned I only made 40 more WHP than my bolted tune. An to get to 460 WHP you have to change everything including the impeller on the SC

An inexpensive mod for more hp ($/hp) is a meth kit.

My car is at 406WHP and 302 tq and it's a blast to drive. Is it the biggest whp? no! But if being the fastest Nissan is what matters you should start with a GTR and a huge budget! What I wanted was to add some kick to my 370 and after a good tune I am very happy with the car.

Lol poor guy.
As for the kit. Wow 10k. This is the part I don't understand. For that amount you spent in total you could have gotten a far superior kit. I have the stage 2 with 3"dp 3"exhaust oil cooler n clutch. I'm around 12-13k. Way more power and room to grow. Just don't seem worth it to short yourself when we almost spent the same amount of money on our FI systems.

Don't feel bad for me!
The supercharger kit was only $6,300. The 10K includes install,oil cooler,trans cooler and cat back exhaust. I don't need more power, the 7AT is rated for 300 tq and my car made 302 tq on the dyno. I've added around 40% to the HP and I'm good with that. I'm concerned that the engine will be able to handle what it has now when it gets out on the track so I have no desire to add to it. I couldn't care less about the numbers game, I wanted to give the car a little more in the straights and I definitely have done that.

I'm having a ball here. It's just that you come off trying to sound super intelligent which is fine but its been proven over and over from countless experiences, from well respected members and vendors that the Stillen kit is inferior.

I'm not sure what ur trying to do but at this point I have to believe that u work for Stillen and u wanna keep collecting a check. If what has been said in this thread and the countless other threads about Stillen doesn't make sense to you then so be it. There's always that 1 guy that just can't be reached. Hell even OP himself admitted that he won't win the number game and just wants a ride with a little more power.

case closed!

also that carb legal kit is with THEIR tune. If u do custom tune CARB is out the window. And well...... Just ask anyone what they put down with their kit.
