OK my install is complete. The car is a different beast. No pinging, immense amount of torque. So much torque that on one launch the housing of my rear view mirror flew off. Easy to put back but it is out of control. My buddy has a twin turbo porsche and he went out for a ride and can't believe the amount of torque on the car. Stillen also dynoed my car and it put out 336 rwhp and 298 torque. They also tested an ATI and the ATI put out about 350 rwhp. The torque curves on the 2 cars is astonishing. My car puts out about 60 ft-Ilbs more torque at take off than the ATI and the ATI doesn't catch up until above 5500 rpm. My car's torque is at 290 at 2500 rpm and doesnt deviate. As soon as I find my scanner I will post the Dyno.

I cant wait for the SPort Z test in December. We'll see how my car does.

Those guys at Stillen have been awesome and have done a great job. I havent dealt with ATI but I would recommend Stillen especially with this new intercooled 7 ILbs set up, it rocks!!!!
Sam:

I am so thankful Stillen added the IC (and just in time for our comparison too). Your car seems like it is totally different now just based on the dyno numbers and your description of it. That torque seems awesome! Your car sounds like it might surprise some people on test day.

I cant wait to take a ride in it. I'll see you on test day for SportZ.

Doesn't the s/c sits right on top of the engine, how do you intercool a root type s/c? Please post some pictures.

For many, the hood is a deal breaker. I have to admit, I am a fan of a stealth looking Z and dont like body kits etc. If I had to choose, I would rather have the Stillen hood than a body kit. I like the look better and at least it is functional.
