I installed a stage 2 kit with I,H,E on a 6 speed coupe and the car only made 263whp. The power is perfectly smooth. But definately no beast

What about the "goodies" Was wondering if the EMS was different too... UTEC vs. SS box?

I was under the impression that the stage 4 stillen kit came with a tunable EMS as it was.

That's like a new HR motor bone stock.

Doug,im here im here,man that is def a stage 3 but were is the beef.Since getting rid of my stillen i am the happy camper i should have always been.Decent kit in stage 4 for $2000.00 less then what it sells for.My dynapack said 340 to the wheel but i never believed it and now that i have the twins i can def say i didnt believe it.My car now would crush the stillen stage whatever so easily without even 3/4 throttle,i just cant believe they still sell this kit at the prices they ask.

no just wanted to prove the fact with the dyno posted that my original point that Stillen SC's don't make much more than N/A Mods. Was that too obvious for you to figure out?

...yeah both the dynos posted in this thread haven't been that great. More tq than my NA dyno, but the extra weight probably offsets that advantage some vs being a lighter weight NA setup

It's too bad too because twin screw blowers can be decent on other larger displacement engines like LS1/2/3's or the mustang engines. The twin screw on the lotus exige S doesn't seem like much of a vast improvement and I think it has to do with only having so much low end power (mainly displacement) to use it with

The stillen's main advantage over all other FI kits is the instant power it has below 2200 rpms, but IMO you really never drive below that, or at least how I drive. It's especially more true if you have a lightweight clutch/flywheel if you want to avoid the flywheel noise vibration
