However, I forgot that Stillen is using their own intake manifold and GTM is using Nissans OEM manifold. This may explain why the GTM kit is making more HP/TQ at the same manifold pressure. It's entirely possible that when going from the prototype manifold to the manufactured manifold something changed and the manifolds supplied are more restictive than the stock manifold. Therefore, the manifold pressure of the Stillen manifold would reach 8 psi with less airflow passing through it than the Stock manifold. Less air volume less power.
Anyone want to test this theory by removing their manifold and then porting and polishing it as much as possible and then reinstall and see the what the results are?

I don't like this kit mainly because of the intake manifold. I hope they did not put velocity stacks inside the manifold. Anyone have a picture of the inside?
