Default Mmmmmmm, so much torque!!

I picked up my car with a new stillen stage 2 SC. Only drove it a bit tonight, but it nearly brought tears to my eyes with all the torque and speed, and it sounds soooo SWEEEEET , I also got a nismo clutch and jwt lightweight flywheel.

I'm gonna post pics in the next couple of days.

rlw888, how do you feel having to modify/change your hood? I guess i just think that the stock body line is perfect the way it is. Which hood did you go with?

I really like the new hood. I have the stillen series 2, and have the scoop cut out with black mesh, so that it is functional. I think the hood makes it look a lot more aggressive.

Hey Rick, did you also get the Stillen strut bar that clears around the SC?

Btw, let's pull a thread to get another group dyno at Church's next month. I'd like to hear that beast.

Unfortunately, tomorrow, I'm droping it at the body shop to have a body kit and spoiler put on

I'm going to have it back in a week or so, and I'll post pics with the hood, and bodkit on it. I do have one pic with just the hood, all though it's not to good. I'll post them in just a few...

I did get the stillen strut bar, polished.

I think that's an awesome idea. You want to start the thread, or should we contact church's first?

Congrats! Nothing sounds better on the 350Z than the Stillen SC. I wish TTs sounded like that.

If you want more torque and power, hop up to the stage 4 stillen upgrades

Glad you like the setup!
