so who pays for the labor of changing to thenew pully which Im sure will cost a bit. It seems after you pay for the install and then they replace something they should pay for the install.

Pulley change shouldn't take more then 20 minutes. If you just spend $1k to have a SC installed I would hope they would do a simple pulley change for no additional charge.

but if you are not at their shop any more then you have to find a local one and pay them then you should get reimbursed by Stillen.

Josh,
I know being one of the first to buy a SC for a new car is never a good idea because there are always bugs to work out. I am glad that you are still working hard at Stillen to make small changes to optimize performance and stand behind your product. I have yet to drive the car but I will give an update in 2 weeks when I get home.
Thanks

Back on topic! I finally got a chance to wot my car this morning. Got up to 7k rpm with 7.8 psi of boost. That is very good compared to the previous tune where I only got 7.2 psi @ 7200 rpm. My boost starts building at lower rpms now. You guys will be very happy with this tune.

Around what rpm does it start to kick in now? So when cruising around and you step on it and go WOT how does it react? And with just normal driving is there more power there than before adding the kit? I guess what Im asking is, is there more power there at all times than there was before the kit?

Boost starts building up about 3k rpm. When I'm just cruising I don't even need to wot and the mph gets to 90mph fast without even knowing. The reaction is fairly quick and smooth you'll be surprised at how much faster it is compared to stock.

There is quite a bit of noticeable extra power compared to stock when just driving normally. Not a whole lot but good enough where you'll feel it. Just wait till the boost kicks in lol. That's when you'll hear the blower come alive! Hope this helps!

Cool thats what I wanted to hear, I want the WOT power but I also want it have more "just cruising" power than stock too. Thanks.
