Look up 73draggy on YouTube. He built his VR38 engine from a rejected/recalled long block. It's pretty neat with his attention to detail... almost OCD! I'd like to slowly build something like this on the side one day. It won't be anything too crazy - maybe a Stage 1 which can handle 600 whp or so.

There has to something with boost? What where you running before this and how long? Didn't you install the kit also?

Hope your ok Atleast. Mentally, emotionally, and physically, most importantly, emotionally.

To try to keep this from boiling over. People are not saying the Stillen kit is bad, just that it lacks certain aspects that the GTM kit is better at. Some of which people like, such as growth...

Looking at those costs, it all makes a lot more sense. You can make it reliable. Get a custom tune, and go overboard cooling the oil, water and intake charge. Just don't expect massive power....

BESIDES CARB? Great advertisement, people don't know any better, people are enticed that they can buy an engine warranty. I tell you that I don't know anyone personally who is TRULY satisfied...

Hehe trust me it's not the head unit that's the problem it's the kits configuration That small water to air cooler is not going to get it You will be just blowing hot air into the motor and your...

Unfortunately, this. The only reason someone who isn't crippled by California emissions laws buys a Stillen kit is lack of research.

Now that i reread that, yup youre going to end up throwing most of it out. Thats why people buy the gtm kits i guess Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Yup gonna need a bigger blower which is a problem because they dont fit with the stillen brackets. Good luck though you have a step uphill battle to fight because that kit has been dissected and...

I don't think it has anything with being a believer. It has all to do with facts, design, and knowing what needs to be done in order to get the kit to make the power you are after. For starters,...

I just need to man up and build my motor. lol

EDIT... I thought this was a welcome thread, lol Lol, don't beat the poor guy down!!! Welcome brother! Good luck! And we've been getting a lot of new Israeli members recently. Do you all...

I have a feeling the dyno tech is gonna errm "correct" the numbers on this one ;) Well you have one thing going for you in that it's a very high reading dyno. Best of luck though. The kit will need...

I've read that Stillen headers make no difference and I heard from Stillen themselves that Stock headers work the best with their Super Charger. So maybe if you want to save money don't go with that...

How do you plan top get the WHP that high? I love my Stillen SC now that Stillens tune is off of it but with the 8 lb pulley I'm at 406whp with the 7AT.
