Stillens takes two days because there upgrade is Level 10s ****. I personally dont give a care for Stillens crap or Level 10s, because i had problems with both of them. Also Level 10s upgrade is a half a$$ed unit compared to the one we are all getting. I know this because my level 10 upgrade had problems with it, but no need to worry SGP fixed Level 10s mistakes when i sent it in.

Also, what's the timeframe on the group buy? I won't be able to put my car out of comission for that long until the end of the month. Got a couple of track days coming up and I need to drive it out to Sand Diego next week to get the rest of my cooling work done.

That would be a key factor...
Do we need to be premier members here or does being a premier on G35Driver qualify to get in on the GB?

I had the Stillen valve body mod done about two years ago and have found it offers much faster and slightly firmer shifts. To me it was well worth the expense.

Oh well I was wrong then. I was informed that Stillen sends Level 10 the factory unit to be worked on, and in exchange Level 10 sends Stillen the reworked unit. So if someone bought one they would send the unit already done to the customer, and the factory core to Level 10 so the next buyer would have one in a few days. The point I was trying to prove was that Stillen and Level 10 products are not as great as they claim they are.
