I'm not going to tell you what it is, it's too long to type all that, and quite frankly you driving a Z, we are having fun with our cars, that's what it really counts,anything else will be unwelcome because your statement/s are not showing finesse a remarkable lack of respect for people that are extremely honest with the community,etc,etc..

A bunch of you come over saying that is inferior compared to any other kits, but now let me ask you something, how you can compare a CARB legal kit with tons of restrictions to get the exemption with other kits including yours without any limitations because they are not made to comply with CARB?
Do you think that they( STILLEN) are not capable to put it together a kit non CARB oriented to compete with the other kits in the market?
You guys are mixing apples with oranges,so IDK if I'm very intelligent, but you may review yourself your way to compare different kits.
About if I work for Stillen, since you are an intelligent guy just click 1087 and then you will see what I do and where and how I make my check from, probably you can learn something too.
Sorry to respond your points, but you are moving towards the personal side base in your biased unfair comparisons between different kits, built with total different targets and hinting that I work for Stillen.
The CARB legal numbers are impressive for a street car, so there is case closed, the rest is forum BS.
How your Z is running? are you happy with it?

For someone who claims to understand how things work, you sure seem to be missing the point. Your numbers are artificially inflated. Full stop. That's not lacking finesse or being disrespectful, that's just a fact. Your car did not make 293whp stock, nor did it make 460whp after all was said and done. Not with an unmodified kit. I'm sure it's fast. I'm sure it's a lot of fun. The whp increase is right in line with others with the kit, and it adds quite a bit of power. But you're taking the magazines' word on your car, and they have an incentive to be overly optimistic. I don't care if you think your car makes 1whp or 1000whp, I just don't want the OP to think that his Stillen kit is going to give him anywhere near 460whp without substantial modification, as has been proven by multiple members here. Also, he is in Israel, so CARB means nothing to him. Being CARB legal is only useful to people in CA. Also, isn't your kit no longer CARB legal with your custom tune?
