The turn key is $6300. lower torque numbers compared to twin turbo, sure, all SC kits make less torque. if you're referring to RCZ's dyno of 390hp/290tq, that was on a very low reading mustang, which he put down 256hp and a bit over 200tq stock. on a dynojet he put down 445hp/335tq in near 100 deg florida heat with the same setup.

comparing different cars/dynos is apples to oranges, my point is the kit obviously makes good power, and is capable of even more (squeeze did 470/360 before maxing out his MAF's).

When I was considering kits, I was on the fence about what setup to go with, i chose the stillen because I got a great deal on it, but I would be equally as happy with a GTM kit. I am not some fanboi, im just being pragmatic here.

what most people don't know about that setup is that one of the injectors that was in use on the stillen kit was bad, later confirmed by deatchwerks that it failed the flow test.
first of all $7-8k is what I spent for the kit and installation. And no, i'm not referring to RCZ's numbers...i'm referring to mine which were 390whp/282tq. And FYI, was the same dyno that RCZ had his tuned. So i say from experience with the Stillen kit, that the torque IS a negative factor with the kit. Even on the dynojet it's only getting 335 lb torque. This kit doesn't get any power unless you are in the high rpm range unlike what i've heard from others that have the gtm where the power comes on in the low end.
