True, there are actually dozens of variables to consider, power delivery and price are just the main things, for me at least.

My point is that all this speculation, who's farther ahead in R&D, who's first to release, etc. is pointless until both GTM and Stillen release all the details themselves.

just wanted to point something out- when most of us talk about power delivery we do not mean max power. supras have great max power but the delivery sucks. sooo... just something to think about

Excellent write up. I look forward to seeing HP ratings of the intercooler when they become available.

Thanks again Stillen!

Just read the posting. I'm very interested to see how the air-to-water intercooler perform with your kit. Keep up the good work!

So will the stock compression be alright with the stillen S/C? I read it is safer for F/I, but is it a thing I should add to the prep list?

VHR motors have been able to withstand quite a bit of power with FI, but adding supporting mods such as upgraded radiator, engine/tranny/diff coolers, clutches and etc won't hurt!
