The car runs, it is stable, it will pull good numbers on the dyno....but due to the low torque, the low end power is only just slightly more than a stock 370. The GTM kit, however, seems to have better torque numbers from what i read.

I have run my car down 1/4 mile against stock 370's and i only beat them by .3 seconds. Granted, if i were using slicks, i may get a full second faster.
I really hate getting sucked into these stupid arguments, but if you are going to quote facts, lets get them right. The turn key is $6300. lower torque numbers compared to twin turbo, sure, all SC kits make less torque. if you're referring to RCZ's dyno of 390hp/290tq, that was on a very low reading mustang, which he put down 256hp and a bit over 200tq stock. on a dynojet he put down 445hp/335tq in near 100 deg florida heat with the same setup.

comparing different cars/dynos is apples to oranges, my point is the kit obviously makes good power, and is capable of even more (squeeze did 470/360 before maxing out his MAF's).

When I was considering kits, I was on the fence about what setup to go with, i chose the stillen because I got a great deal on it, but I would be equally as happy with a GTM kit. I am not some fanboi, im just being pragmatic here.

-an interesting comparison of the Stillen and GTM kits.
what most people don't know about that setup is that one of the injectors that was in use on the stillen kit was bad, later confirmed by deatchwerks that it failed the flow test.
