I was definitely not wrong on anything I said. You though are. Stillens makes more power lower and mid range than any other SC package dyno proven. The Vortech's require you to build boost by RPM. The Stillen's you do not and get full boost from idle. At high RPMs, around 5.5k+ the Stillen will start to drop a little.

And again Stillens does make 350~ range to the wheels if installed properly.

If you got a Stage 1, then yes 300 at the wheels is about right, Stage 2 325~, Stage 3, 350~.
please provide comparison dyno's for your claims.

Thats why stillen s bashed. Bc the cost versus the outcome are pretty bad!!!

BTW zprincess did you ever get your rims? bc i think a set TE or LE would look hott on the ride
I agree. If you want a high POWER setup, then Stillens is not the way to go. If you want a reliable setup that you can bolt on and go from your house then Stillen's is the way to go.

Truth is most Stage 4 kits are 310-325whp, not close to 350whp at all!
Dynos have been posted back to back on top of Vortech and Stillens both the same day. Nissan Sport Magazine did this and it showed Stillens made the most power again low and mid range. The Vortech made all its power high. It's a given due to the way the SC setups are designed.

I have been here since 2003 on both Driver and 350z. I have seen many. Obviously you never paid attention to it well.

lol! You make me laugh. There were a TON of Vortech setups that blew and especially ATI ones. It is a known fact the Stillen is the most reliable. Doesn't mean it can't blow, but it is the most reliable setup.

And because you said I know is not considered a fact.

30-50 more than Stillen on PEAK hp that is it. I look at the average MEAN over the whole powerband when comparing the setups and the Stillen produced the most.

don't worry.. i will wait.. i have all day



dyno queen? when every form of Forced Induction on this board puts out 30 - 50whp more out of the box than Stillen, i would hardly call them dyno queens.



i am not sure if you skipped math class, however 10whp subtracted from 300whp is 290whp .. go back and read my post.



if you can find me a Stillen Stage 1 that puts out 330 whp.. i will show you a small colony of highly intelligent chimps living on Mars.



the Kinetic Manifold is a quality piece also, but if its not putting out enough power for its cost then i am going to let people know about it, just like the stillen SC.. FYI i did not bash the product, i meerly stated facts about its performance and cost



i am not sure what you are talking about here.. but ok

cmon doug, you know thats wrong. Na is a waste of time! Look how much money it takes to get 300whp. Jeremy built a 15to1 engine and only got 306whp with most bolt ons and mods. One other guy has 303whp n/a.


the others that are close to 300whp na have spent gobs. Im surprised there hasnt been a "how to i get 300whp na" thread lately. Cams, heads, headers, tp, exhaust, intake,utec and tune will cost more then a reliable vortech setup. Stroker kit? how much is labor/parts on that.

20-1 was a guess but that is the way it seems. You never hardly ever see a Stillen setup blow.

Contact Nissan Sport for the dynos. It was in one of their issues a while back.

How about showing your statistics we are still waiting on.

let me tell you something, because you are ignorant.. you want to know how i know that there aren't many blown Vortech's? I was arguing with Sentry and he told me i was wrong about Vortech.. and i told him he was full of it.. and i sat down for 1 hour searching and researching all the blown setups posted on this board.. and you know what i came up with? he was right. Vortech is probably the safest FI System on this board as far as blown motors. Stillen was second.. but Stillen had more blown motors than Vortech.. i suggest next time you spend an hour researching before you spout your ignorance.

judging from the fact Stillen makes 10 to 20 whp more.. why waste your time spending thousands of dollars and getting a new hood... Stillen is so weak it shouldn't even be considered F/I.

ive dont a bit of reading about vortech issues, not many blown engines with vortech just busted superchargers.


i had to make a decision of vortech or stillen. Stillen sounds great, but the lack of upgradeability and power gains steered me away.

now, there is one guy claiming like 400whp on stillen, something about uping the injectors.

Funny, I hardly seen any Stillens on this forum, and I see Vortech or ATI blowing left and right. LOL! You rarely hear about any Stillen setups blowing. Rarely. Seems to me your the ignorant one posting false information.

It's considered because of its track record. It again is the most reliable setup that you can bolt right on.

No sir actually you prove me wrong since your the one that came in here to argue about it. Back your statements up with facts. You need to do it because your the one that said it was wrong.
