Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

Kyle@STILLEN

Well, I decided to pop into the other thread and see what has been going on over the weekend...Seems like I missed out on some interesting discussions that appear to have been edited. Darn, wish I could have seen what was said.

I am sure that there are numerous questions from everyone...Why? Because no data has been provided. To make statements right now on the performance of either kit would be asinine. We have our doubts/concerns about some of the things we've seen in regards to GTM's kit however we have chosen to sit back and see what unfolds. We have been in this business far too long to think we can tell everything by looking at a picture.

Also, I have seen this question/concern come up a couple of times so I will briefly answer it.

Why did we relocate the dual throttle bodies on to the passenger side rather than on the driver side which would have been a shorter distance to travel?

The answer is simple...Clearance...We found a spot inside the engine bay which allowed us to mount the largest supercharger possible. Unfortunately, this area is limited by the hood clearance. When I get a chance I will post a picture for you that clearly shows what I'm talking about. To mount the throttle bodies on the driver's side we would literally be running the intake piping through the engine...There just wasn't room for the piping.

I'm sure the following statement will be made "Well, GTM says they designed their supercharger to work with the car, not around it..." Right...So did we, which is why we found the largest pocket of space available in the engine bay.

By the way, what'd you California people think of that rain last week? I'm sure glad our Gen. 3 intake filters are mounted so high so no one had to worry about hydrolocking! Could it be that we thought of this when developing the supercharger as well???
