GTM Stage 1 SC purchased

I'm leaning more towards Stillen SC with a custom tune just because of the lack of response and bad experiences.

Don't rule out the BP turbo kit either. It's a good option as well.

if you want to supercharge, get the stillen, its the only supercharger kit out there thats not a GTM kit, people here dog the stillen supercharger but when you speak to actual owners of the kit, they love the kit

you'll make good power, 415 or so WHP , A few upgrades, will get you closer to 480WHP.

I have a budget in mind and I believe this would put me over that amount. It does seem like a very nice kit though, despite having to remove my F.I. X pipe.

I will be totally happy with those gains. Not looking to replace internals, just a safe "bump".

Your budget needs to be higher. Not to wreck the OP's thread, but you need to plan for half again the new retail cost of the kit in supporting mods, tuning and labor.

And makes MORE power and torque, and you don't have to upgrade any part of it out of the box, and there's no regret afterward, and you don't own a Stillen or GTM product...should I keep going?

ETA...Can you tell I'm pissed ?
