Bullitt opened that can when he stated $14k for a stillen kit over 420whp. The kit I offer had goals in mind. Offer a SC kit that is affordable/ecomically friendly.

The kit I offer had goals in mind. Offer a SC kit that is affordable/ecomically friendly. Offer a kit that lands the VQ37 motor in it's sweet spot for Max power yet safe and reliable. This is especially true on the AT guys (well for engine internals also). The way it ramps in torque is linear and places the least amount of stress on the AT. Unlike "power under the curve" of PD blowers like this one. Which I get it, you can "detune" your kit to keep tq down...but then why spend the extra money? Goals achieved! Maybe we can schedule it sometime. Is there a car that is really ready? I'll look for the Mad Max blower sticking out of the hood so I'll know how to find you. I have no doubt this kit would be fun to own. But for guys with less than $7k to spend it's just not possible. Anything can be made faster than the next guy when you throw enough money into it.

I have no skin in this game and I just follow because I love the platform, but a spade is a spade. You absolutely did mention the Stillen kit by name. You also mentioned air-2-air conversion, which Topgunz offers the only one, so indirectly you did mention his kit. |

Think we need a timeline check here. Topgunz has been sending out his upgrade kit for years. |

You know they won’t have a car ready next month. Storms are crazy up north, plus others are only running zero timing or can’t afford a dyno tune,

Where them numbers at? I saw the one guy who said it's running but he still has minor issues. I don't have a problem with the platform or the people. But when people start calling out singles either I can do it and step up. Or I can't and I shut up. Calling people out means you're ready right now. If you're not then stay humble. Again Ocala sign up March 1st. They have shop resources, all I have is my bank account and thats it. A shop should be able to make it happen.

As Bullitt has correctly stated there are multiple cars on the road. I find it funny that some of you only care about dyno numbers.
Bullitt has also correctly stated that stillen was the only other turnkey supercharger kit when we started this. Yes topgunz had his a2a conversion which to be honest doesn’t make it a supercharger kit. Yes topgunz did eventually make his own kit based off the stillen bracketry. And while yes it is a budget friendly option it has limitations. You will have to upgrade the centrifugal supercharger to make the higher hp numbers we are able to achieve with just a pulley change. This isn’t knocking the topgunz kit at all but it has its place as a budget friendly option. We are bringing the best bang for your buck if you want to make power. No need to modify kits just change the pulley and switch maps. We have several cars on the street. The kits are doing just fine. You can ask our customers their thoughts on the kit. Brad, Christian, trey and others are loving their kits. Mike even gave several stillen kit owners rides last year at zdayz and their responses are priceless. Nothing like positive displacement power! |

I have nothing against topgunz or his kit. As RJM stated it’s a good budget kit.
Thank you Bobby and RJM for backing me up. I find it funny all the hate from people who have no experience with the kit. This whole thread was to share the information that users of the kit have had with the kit. But instead of asking legit questions I have gotten a good bit of flack for trying to share what many people were asking for. I know some of our members don’t have Facebook accounts that’s why this thread was started in the first place. I don’t have to share the updates... Brad has a YouTube channel “ageekyguy” and he has been actively given an honest review of his experiences with the kit. From when he ordered to his tuning has been going. He updates very regularly. He is very direct and honest and he is learning a lot about his car. He should be in the mid 500’s on hp and mid 400’s on tq limited due to his stock trans.

It's true. The TG kit will Max out near 600whp (well some have pushed it above that). Beyond that you will need to step into a different forced induction kit, built motor, and built transmission. The $ per HP starts to diminish at an astonishing rate.

Power costs money, absolute power will bankrupt you. If you chose to go down that rabbit hole. You end up like this guy. Been there with my big blocks.
