More like 40, seeing how the first dyno was on a dynojet and the last one was a dynapack.

Glad you posted this!! I just did my stage two upgrade last week. Yeah it's alot of money for what you get. But honestly, unless you are going to the track every weekend or you live somewhere that's safe to use the gobs of extra horsepower that another setup would use, you're really not ALWAYS using your full potential anyways. Plus Stillen is alot safer for those of us that don't wanna pull their motor and rebuild it 15/20,000 miles down the road. Plus it has lots of "bling" factor when ya pop your hood!! Esp from the older crowd!! And for those times ya don't wanna race at the stoplight, but some punk is egging you on. Just blip the gas a lil and the SC whine will be quick to put em in their place!! If i had a dollar for evertime someone pulled up to me and asked why i have that big (yes i hate it too) lump in the hood. Suggesting i put it there for looks! (hell no!! LOL)

as i proved to the last person who tried to argue with me.. Stillen as blown as much motors as the other FI options.. and Vortech is actually safer..

you guys can keep justifing spending a **** load of money for little or no performance..

the argument was never that you need GOBS amount of horsepower in a street car.. the argument was the stupidity of spending thousands of dollars to have 10 more HP than keeping your car NA.. as it stands right now you can't even beat a stock 07+ Z from the factory with your stillen out the box.. to me thats fcking embarasing

i don't know about this blipping the throttle and scare people.. you guy's can't even beat turbo civic's.. so who exactly are you scaring.. i know if my car sounds like it has *****.. i want it to actually perform that way to back it up

Holly $hit!! I can't make a single Stillen post without you tracking me down and flaming!! Did Steve Millen molest you when you were younger? Seriously you really seem to have a sincere passion with trying to save people money!! I bet every purchace you have made in your life has been the most bang for the buck. And has always been the most wise decision that was available at the time! Why is it so important to you to continuly flame people for what they choose to spend their money on? Do you beat your wife/girlfriend into submission too?

i can't possibly be flaming you if i am feeding you with facts.. its very clear by your name that you are not an advocate of doing things right the first time..

I have no problem Stillen products when they make good power.. you know whats fckign sad? The Stillen Supercharger Kit on the 3.0L maxima puts out more power with supporting mods than it will on a 350z

I think the stillen s/c for the maxima is a vortech but i agree with doug cause i had the stillen.For the money its def not worth it for the power it makes and now that i have the twins there is no comparison.
I kinda wish i had stayed n/a back when i got the stillen in 2003 but i needed safe power and that was the only tning out there.
