Every Stillen supercharger that seem to have had trouble seem to be when people try to get more power out of it, be careful!

I have seen some issues when people try to pass 450 whp. I've seen a few doing 430-445 whp without too much issue. Past that we are still testing right now. We are developing a high boost kit and are seeing what needs to change to make it safe and reliable power upgrade.

Not really anything with the kit "if" you only looking for 450WHP. I personally don't like the heat exchanger bolted to the radiator. You guys should really look at what I did and the hand full of guys here and followed me and used a front mount heat exchanger, there is plenty of room. The other issue is our MAF's( Voltage will max out) Myself and Cliff ran into this issue but again that's if your looking 470ish . I had your Impeller upgrade and UPREV MAF's an was pushing 457WHP and the kit held up fine!! How ever on the other side of that was the sh&t install I had of the fuel pump.

I also had injectors and DW300 pump. I had the pump only cause the dealer killed the wally, and injectors were just incase I reached 500WHP, Which you wont see unless you have a built block.. Boost will be to high to get there on the the stocker, My 457WHP was at 11-12 PSI. You need like 16 to get to 500WHP.

To make 450WHP on your kit you would probably need nothing other than the front mount heat exchanger.

Hey , I did not . I would have seen too much boost on a stock block. With the 9lbs pully I would been 13-14 PSI . At the time my tuner told me that would be too much on the st ok bottom end. I do know I snapped a rod at 11-12 PSI but there other issues. What PSI AND WHP you at now? I really wouldn't go 12+. But that's just me. Even if I don't go back to Stillen ( really want to) but tossing some ideas about FI twins and AAM twins. If went that route is be at 6-7PSI at the most. If I go Stillen I'm not changin the boost just the heat exchanger again. I can live with 400+ WHP I think ;/

Were you on the COG pulleys at this time ??? Other issues ???

I did exactly this ... wanted to make 500whp.

Upgraded the Vortech Impeller to SI trim and used the Stillen 9 lb pulley ...
It produced 483 whp/ 378 tqe at 11.9 psi.

Grenaded the stock motor as a result, and now I am having to rebuild it.
(Should have built the motor in the first place, it would have saved me time, money, and grief).

Can't say for sure if your stock motor will hold up, but I definitely wouldn't do both the impeller and pulley at the same time...

Do you guys think that the test pipes could cause a little loss of hp? I had cats on it and it seems like it's a little sluggish at times. I'm thinking about going back to cats. Plus the fire balls were pretty cool.

it would also be amazing if you guys tested E85 with the current kit + upgraded kit you are developing. I'm sure if there were good results, heaps of people would jump onto this. There is another guy with the GTM SC that is doing an E85 upgrade at the moment, waiting to see his results and if they are good I'll be going this route as well.
