Stillen Supercharger reliabiity

It's barely noticeable IMHO. It takes as long as it takes my gas pedal to hit the floor. On WOT I don't even feel it in between shifts. When cruising and I wanna make the BOV go off yea I can feel it but I'm cruising not running hard. I think you guys r giving the "lag" way too much credit. I'll still take the half second delay over that particular SC anyday.

You're right, it's barely there. But it's still there and some people prefer a SC for a snappier throttle and instant boost. There's a lot to be said about instant, linear response. I thought really hard about a SC, but I know that I'd end up wanting more later down the line. I didn't want to paint myself into a corner. The OP sounds like he's perfectly happy with his setup. That's great. If he ends up needing more power later, he can swap pullies, injectors and re-tune. It's not as easy as turning the knob on my boost controller, but it's not that hard.
