Adding throttle to start car after stillen SC install

ANMVQ

Like what chuck is saying also, the tune needs to be redone . Te heat exchanger IMO is a must from the start , and of course it runs rich the stillen tune runs rich out the box I couldn't even start my car on the can tune that came with it . Find a new tuner, one he Inflated your numbers cause the kit will not make 481 WHP and he did that to sell you a bag of goods .
Go else where :/

I may have to disagree with you on the numbers the kit is capable of. I'm at 440whp with the 9lb pulley headers, test pipes, cat back, tuned @ 10 lbs of boost, all but the impeller upgrade so it's possible he might be hitting those numbers or close to it with more boost. Also I'm 7at and he's 6mt so he will loose less through drive train/torque converter

The guy that originally owned the kit was putting down 480WHP with 91 octane and 525 on E85, so I have to disagree with you my man. I called the tuner this morning and told him to break everything down for me on what he is trying to do exactly (I was pissed over the weekend cause I been waiting weeks for the car and when I got it, wasnt running like I was expecting her too).

1) The bigger radiator he explained is due to the heat that's being generated and he wants to save me from buying a better vented bumper.

2) He said the meth is only to regulate the fuel and push more power, not to fix starting problem

3) He did admit to me that he could have spend more time tuning and got it way better, but I been without a car for 5 weeks due to clutch on back order and few other parts so I wanted to car back the past weekend.

Now the guy is offering me to retune the car free of charge (have to leave it there for a day or two so he can fine tune it) and GUARANTEE to fix the starting issue. However, he is advised me to do the radiator and meth all at once too. What do you guys think?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

RUN!!!!!!!!!!

THIS GUY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

Clear enough? His reasoning for the meth is retarded. He is not doing a good job tuning the car. Period. Find a new tuner before you join the (surprisingly large) "Stillen SC blew my motor" club. If he can't get the little things in the tune right, he didn't get the big things right. And the numbers the previous owner is claiming must be on the world's highest reading dyno.

The only thing that your "tuner" is right about is the need for a better radiator. Keep in mind, you have to evacuate the ac system before and recharge it after a radiator install.

Ok, I am going to try to locate another tuner. In the meanwhile, you think I should do the radiator install as well?? I am not going to worry about meth if I dont have too, anything else I should keep in mind while I retune her ?? Thanks a lot guys, this thread been great.
