I was curious about the engine warranty on Stillen is now offering with their supercharger, so I called today and talked to one of their techs. It costs $295, covers the engine only, no drivetrain (tranny, etc.). The term of coverage is 3 years or 36000 miles.
I asked if the warranty was still good up to some boost level higher than the kits 5.7 psi, and the tech wasn't very clear about it. He said not really, but we'll try to take care of you. I read that to mean if you plan to increase boost later on, don't bother with the warranty. Still, very interesting to know there is a forced induction option that allows you to have a warranty on the engine.
On a side note, I also asked about the performance of the kit in stock form, as well as a dyno graph. The tech says they have not released a dyno graph yet, and they don't have any performance numbers such as 0 to 60, 1/4 mile, etc.

I remember reading somewere that they were seeing 1/4 times from mid to mid/low 13's. Which to me probably means 13.2-13.5 times probably around 106 Mph. Not sure its worth 4K for the SC, around 500-800 for installation and the price of buying and painting a new funkly looking hood.
$6K+ for probably .5-.8 drop in the 1/4 doesn't sound worth it for me.

The Stillen ECU that comes with the SC is a piggyback. It is not adjustable. So no adjusting your boost
. The more I think about it the more I realize Stillen is not the way to go for FI.
They take your stress bar and give you some monstrosity of a hood. With procharger out there I fear that Stillen will not be selling many.

I agree, ATI is really the way to go right now. I just think its interesting that Stillen is offering this engine warranty. I doubt I'll be going FI at this point anyway.
