Why should we believe that price or believe that any HP numbers are real. Only on the good name of Stillen? Or will there be actual proof, i.e. price in writing and dyno reports? If they can't do this for something as simple as an exhaust, how can it happen for a supercharger. Oh, and this does not include the new hood, painting and installation does it? Stillen needs to treat their prospective customers better.

People pay $1000+ for 5-10HP with an exhaust.

60hp isn't a lot, but at low boost I assume it would be safe.

Now if they can make this with a stock hood setup, this would be a good deal.

That's too much for too little boost. I'll be paying $1000 for a solid exhaust yes...too many modifications for too little.

oh man i forgot you will need a larger exhaust and headers to be able to let it flow properly. add atleast another 2 grand. hrrrmmm...twin turbo is lookin awfully good at that point.

Greddy's setup is only putting out an additional 58hp. Turbo does not seem to put out any more than SC with same boost. In fact it puts out less with more boost.

Am I the only one that thinks that SC looks ridiculous on a sports car??? Why not just put some monster truck lift and wheels on it too.

I agree. I am not that wild about the look of a the moded hood. I prefer the clean install of a turbo. But if the turbos come in at double the price for the same hp increase I may take a second look at SC.

Acutally that would be about 100hp since the 350 has 230-245 rwhp stock. It was 287 at the crank.

Your correct. My mistake. Greddy does seem to be the better choice. Hopefully pricing will be better per hp than Stillen.

Expect more - a lot more. Worth it however - 58hp ain't gonna cut it. 80hp - i could do...58 for 3k+ =

Hey guys...i read somewhere that they are making it so you do not need to modify the hood anymore.

I just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out why you were using my signature. Then I realized you must have copied and pasted it from another post. You had me scared there for a minute.

my question is.....when you put in the supercharger....you have to take out the brace in the front....won't that make the car less stable? i would feel unsafe with 60 more horsepower and nothing to brace the front end from twisting. anyone else thinking that too??
