There seems to be more talk about the Stilen S/C lately. I am happy to see that as I am looking into buying a stage 2 or 3 in the near future.

I do have a question for those owners out there. Please, no bashing from other FI owners, I have made up my mind it is either Stillen or NA.

My question is, how does the car feel compared to stock? Does it just feel like a bigger engine? There should not be any linear build up of power, so I am guessing that is how it feels. Is there enough power there to break the tires lose will driving in second or third gear and just mashing the pedal?

Was it worth the $?


I thank you in advance for the help and input.

ain't no way you'll break the tires loose in third gear, lol.

 

Stillen is a great reliable S/C

You should also look into the Dreamwork S/C also, it is Eaton 90 roots type supercharger as well. 50 state legal and same warranty. NO HOOD MODIFICATIONS NEEDED!!!

Has anyone used the Dreamworks S/C yet???

 

Im just ****** with you dude. Dreamworks never came out with their S/C.

The stillen is an excellent system with very linear torque and HP. Excellent drivability and delivery of the power. They do tend to destroy belts though. I like the Stillen S/C a lot and if I wouldnt have gotten the JWT TT setup, I would have gone with the Stillen. I have a lot of friends in socal that run them.

 

That's cold.

 

As much heat as the Stillen takes, I love that whine from the s/c. Its just awesome.

Good luck on the f/i route.

 

i have the stillen stage 3..........it rocks.... very nice linear power, great pick up, and the whine......awwwwwwwwww....it's like a leer jet getting ready to take off......

 

I have the stage 3, going stage 4 tonight. I love it. For city driving the linear power rocks and the sound is priceless.

 

go for it...... you won't be diss until you want MORE POWER!!!!!!!!

 

i love the S/C sound. its so mean... But i also love the turbo sounds.. such a hard choice

 

Its a tough choice, stillen really doenst have much headroom so you have to be happy with what you get outta the box. I have the stillen and loved it, but i am goin turbo you always want more.

 

ive got the stage 3 (in about 2 weeks stage4) and i love it.i havent had any belt issues except the small one,had to replace after about 8-9000 miles.had the kit on a little under 20,000 miles.it pulls real hard thru 1,2,3 shifts then lets up a little,ive got a 5at.but if you want higher power go turbo.you cant really get much more out of the setup.
