I remember searching through threads a while back when I was looking into these kits and how much can be changed to increase power. most of which has been stated, but here is the compiled list ive had sitting on my desk for a few months:

impeller upgrade, 9lb pulley, 750-1000cc injectors, 255lph or even 340lph fuel pump, GTR or HKS (grade 9) spark plugs, z1 clutch/flywheel kit, turbosmart bpv, csf radiator, frozen boost intercooler, uprev MAF GT, oil/trans cooler, whiteline dif bushings, z1 engine/trans mounts, Meth kit.... E85 gas stations close by..... all in, these parts cost almost as much as the stillen kit itself...

blows my mind that the SC cant blow enough air and actually shows losses when using hfc/test pipes, nevermind headers... it would be nice to use a whole different SC all together. In the end: I love the stillen design and layout of the system but would probably want to swap out 95% of the components.

fwiw: all the turbo torque scares me with my AT and I don't think it is the best option for me. I love the SC idea but for the cost of everything i'm not sure the gains justify the price. i know, i'm very difficult and thats why im still NA.
