Just an FYI for anyone with the Stillen Gen 3. I had had 2 instances when the "service engine soon" light came on. 1st time went to dealer, they basically did a reboot and I was fine for 10 days. Got 2nd light. Both times on cooler days (cooler for New Hampshire COLD for Ca). The next day, no light. Took the car to Ballistic Motors in NH. Visual inspection and handling tubes showed no leak. The code reader said look again. The instrument said something else but I'm translating. facing the front of the car, there are two rubber hoses that connect to the intakes. Left one was solid in place. Right one was connected but lose. They removed the hose, sanded the connector a bit and replaced the hose and replaced the clamp with a screw down clamp. Rock solid 630+ RPM. Smooth. I was also advised to wait 60 seconds after starting the engine before before taking off. I had been waiting a little bit but not hat much. Will do so now. Bottom line, check the right side hose and clamp.
