Gotta say the experience that I had @ Stillen is pretty positive eventhough it took 8 hrs for them to fix and also was kind of suprised when Steve Miller came out & started asking what was wrong..showed his concern and assigned Sam & another tech to work on my car. Here are what they found:

They found a boost leak (incorrect vacuum tee on rear manifold fitting...installed by my previous installer)
My intercooler pump was airlocked therefore they bled the pump.
They also replaced a defective vacumm check valve for brake booster
They also took extra steps to open up blower, plenum, etc...to inspect for other possible faulty install (they found couple of missing bolts on intake plenum,rear & front bolt under the tensioner)

Also...FYI..I was recommended by Sam to use octane booster when doing lot of hard driving...do you guys know what's brand is the good/decent one?

 

Octane booster???? Why would you do that, one bottle of octane booster for an entire tank of gas or even a half a tank would not raise the octane level a point, probably less. Find a place that has 100 octane and mix it with 93 or just run 100 octane. Your car will run a little rich, but that is cheap insurance. 100 octane is unleaded so don't worry if you have cats.

Also, congrats on the fix, its always a relief to have everything checked and fixed, enjoy the new found power!!!

 

I'm happy for you Nate. I'm glad that Stillen was able to help in this regards. Let us know now what happens to that Corvette.

 

Any dyno numbers now that it is fixed?

 

+1 On dyno #'s. Im assuming your running more boost now-from what to what? Nice to see you got it solved. Id def be calling up the installer on a $hitty job done.

 

glad to see it fixed ... post up some dynos

 

He said to run octane boost in case he gets some bad gas with water in it. Not for the extra boost in octane It tells you that in the Stillen Manual

 

mine dynoed at 323whp with A/F is 11.5...sorry that I didn't get the copy of the dyno but will dyno again on Stillen day. About the previous installer, I was glad that he took all the responsibility and took care all the charges from Stillen ...cann't complain about that

 

yeah...but now I'm kind of doubt about if I can beat the C6...will probably set up with him when I'm back in SoCal again (another 2 wks)...will post the video

 

So 323whp with a Stage 4 and an auto? Thats not to shabby...

 

huh ??!?! 323!!! whats new ?

 

Glad to hear it
