iam planing to buy Stillen stage 1 cuase i dont need that much power and iam having 04 and AT trans, MY QUSTION IS do i need to do VALVE BODY UPGRADE? the prob that i live in the middel east so it is hard to do VALVE BODY UPGRADE.and stillen they dont have e-mail so i can send them e-mail that if they can send only the parts for VALVE BODY UPGRADE,if any one can give me any one there e-mail will bee good for me.and what else do i need to do,like oil cooler?
thanks

 

dont have email? yes they do.

email Deand@Stillen.com

 

An AT will do stage two so if you want the extra horsepower you can get it.

You do not have to do the valve body upgrade but it will result in quicker shifts. You have to take your valve body off, ship it to them, and when they're done they will ship it back to you. That's going to take a long time to make it to the United Arab Emerates.

 

stage 1 has NO INERCOOLER are you sure you wnt that setup?

 

I would also reccomend the stage 2 intercooled kit. Definately worth the extra $$$ for a the extra power and insurance.

 

hank tell me about this custom pulley u have?

 

I got it made by Auto Specialties in Houston (281)-261-5811. AdamDC actually told me about the 8.3 lb. pulley they made for him so I called and had them make me one as well. I haven't dynoed the car yet but it definately feels faster and it leaned out the A/F ratio from 11.2 to 11.8 at WOT. NO problems so far.

 

so that means it a higher boost then the stage 3 from stillen?

 

Yes.

 

Im actually trying to find somones old or uneed stage 3 pulley from stillen. If you know somone, please let me know.

 

I would sell you mine but I want to dyno the car with both to see the difference between the 7lb. and 8.3 lb. pulley.

 

can u sell it to me after, id be willing to give you more then enough. Maybe that would hurry up the dyno process

 

I'll let you know after I dyno it. Should be getting done some time next week.

 

sounds great. btw what year is ur z?

 

04

 

perfect.... Please let me know asap.

btw if u had a stage 2 how did the jump to stage 3 feel?

 

Hank,

Glad you like the extra boost, it is noticable.

To Blackend, being in the UAE you are going to want the intercooler (ie stage II). With the hot dry air and the heavy sun the intercooler is pretty necessary. Spend the extra money.

 

I have a few extra........ Pullys, that is.

 

the stage 3 pulley? from stillen?
