So just ordered my Stillen SC

The reason I ask is I bought the stillen kit used of the forums for $4k with all the upgrades done as well as walbro 340 fuel pump and 1000CC injectors which was the best deal at that time. Personally, I wouldnt put the money on rebuilding the kit since I am spending thousands, you want more power, sell the kit and buy a TT because the thousands you going to spend here will yield you a lot more gains than 60hp.

only kit I can get here in Aus is $10.5k and it's basically the exact same as the original GTM stage 1 kit, which for me is just way overpriced, none of the other US kits will fit the RHD setup. So would really have to get someone local to do a turbo setup, aka guinea pig, which I really don't want to be around here.. so unfortunately it's kind of do these upgrades or nothing really.
