Pretty much the 100% exact opposite of what you typed. You absolutely have to get a custom tune, and the kit as shipped is a motor failure waiting to happen. Look into the air-to-air conversion being put together here if you want the kit to be reliable. As the kit ships, the ecu gets the intake air temp reading before the supercharger, so it never has a clue how hot the actual intake charge is. That's a recipe for disaster. The only real reason to go with a Stillen kit as it is sold by Stillen is if you need the CARB cert. Otherwise, change out the intercooler setup or look into the BP turbo kit.
