So just ordered my Stillen SC

stock clutch is getting smelly! so not driving it too hard lately, just the odd run here and there, waiting on my new clutch kit to arrive (probably 4-5 weeks cause of xmas/new years), getting a southbend stage 3 daily kit with the lighter flywheel etc. Will get this in, have tune double checked at another shop recently recommended to me, A/F ratios atm look a bit high, but it's safe so it's fine at the moment.

While clutch is going in or soon after, I'm waiting on some pricing back from the Australian vortech distributor who does all the work here to upgrade the impeller on the unit + changing to a slightly smaller pulley again from the 9lb stillen kit, upgrading fuel system to E85 with a CJ Motorsports kit and get it re-tuned for the E85 all at the same time.

will let you guys know when done

Also ask ANMVQ, his engine in his g37 lasted three days after he did what you are planning on doing. My advise to you is unless you have a built bottom end, stay away from this idea all together.

Plz plz do your research before upgrading anything on that kit dude. If you want more power, get a twin turbo and run it on the stock engine at around 10psi, you will get more power than a SC and you wont blow up your motor. I have a built bottom end now and wish I went with a TT setup.

Had either of you addressed the maf location on your builds? I'm convinced that's why Stillen kits have blown motors. Measuring air temp and density before the compressor and intercooler scares the hell out of me.

clkio was still running standard stillen heat exchanger when motor popped.

They are talking about moving the MAF's which are currently before the supercharger to a better location as the temp probably changes between where it's measured and where the air ends up entering the engine. Not sure where the best location would be though.

Anyone ran a water/meth kit also?

Unless you took off their mani and went with a ported stock one (Z1-M370) Idea tho , you could probably make more power with 2 3inch pipes instead of the one Stillen intake pipe.
