You have to be terribly insecure and have nothing better to do than enter threads over and over again providing unsolicited advise on how big of a mistake someone else made. You could also make a good argument that anyone pissing money into a car to try and make it into something its not needs their head examined. Makes about as much sense don't you think?

Your statement "pissing money into a car" is exactly what Doug is trying to say that the OP did. Which one is better....spend $7000 and get 40 whp ..... or spend $7000 and get 120 whp more

Exactly the point.. It's non of Doug,s business how much was spent by the poster...or whether he believes he pissed anything away...If he has nothing good to say then say nothing...Doug adds insulting ad hominem comments..Totally uncalled for...An attack dog.!!

as XKR said.. if you spend $7,000 for 40whp instead of $7,000 for 120 whp... you are pissing away your money.. its not an opinion.. is a fact.
if you are offended by the fact.. please please.. get off the internet and stay in your bubble

Come on now.... Look at the OP's threat title...he even knew that he would be attacked "*Flame suit on*" This is a public forum and some are for Stillen SC, and others are for ST & TT..... So if you dont have a flame suit...dont post !!!
No one went looking for the OP...the OP came to us ( the members on this site). Hell...if it were not for Doug and Philthy's heartless responses to some of the threads on here....I may have made the same mistake.
Reason is...I am from the IMSA crowd or pro racing, where I have met Steve Millen when he was racing the GT1 Z. So just by his name i would have jumped in blind folded....he markets his products aggressively...so a lot of people go in that direction. Its a name they know....but that does not mean its the best, not even close.

If you are going to quote me...dont leave out the vital points....
I do agree with Doug 100%....because I took his and Philthy's advise ( from their posts) and went TT and later thanked God I did not waste my money going the other way.
So like I said...if you are going to spend that kind of money...at least get the most from it. If I had made the mistake and went the wrong way....I am man enough to cry and admit my mistakes

There are a lot of stupid things people do in life like spending $7000 for car performance before they have a nice home, all bills paid, family with everything they need and money going into a retirement account but no one talks about those bad decisions. How about spending $7000 for a turbo system that is illegal in most states where you can't even sell the car to anyone without disclosing that fact that its only legal for off road use. Do that in Arizona and you will be liable and subject to penalties when the buyer finds out it won't pass the emissions visual. I know some people don't think that far ahead but these decisions have more consequence than just what makes the most HP. There is a market for Stillen and there will also be for the HKS SC. Lets let people make their own decisions without trying to show them how much smarter we are because it isn't working! If people involved did any research they likely knew the HP differances and CARB status on the kits when they made their purchase. There is no one size fits all!

Gary.....you got to do what you got to do. 4 months out of the year I am at my home in Carefree AZ...the rest I am either in TX or FL. All my cars with the exception of one has FL plates...so I dont have to worry about CARB....so who am I to tell anyone to take chances with the law.

Failing emissions is not the way to have a good day. When I moved to Az from the mid-west I brought a turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa with me. Az requires even motorcycles to pass emissions which for bikes in an idle test. It failed for reasons I won't even get into but when you fail you are in deep dodo. You are in their computer data base and there are few options and even less legal choices. You may skate through but the down side possibilities are nasty. You can license it in another state but legally it must be licensed in your in your primary residence which is where you spent most of the year. Getting caught could prove to be quite expensive.
