There is no probably in that it would smoke a stillen equipped z or g.I had a hard time beating the HR z's with my wimpy *** stillen stage 4 g.

 

I'm now 100% with ya on the whimpyness of the Stillen kit, but i'm guessing the extra weight of your G may have something to do with that. I purely base that on your stage 4 quarter mile times being .2 seconds slower then my stage 2 time was. (I'm not trying to be a douche, or play captain callout, you're obviously way better off now with the twins, so i figure you could care less about your Stillen times at this point.)]

I truely don't feel like a beast with that overpriced noisemaker under the hood, but off the line i'm certain i'd have no problem overtaking an HR, and i'm fairly certain i would hang with the 370 (This assumes i can keep traction with the poop tires i have). It would definatly be a driver's race, but i feel confident it would hang. I'm not out to try to put down our own, i base this on the comparison you used.

 

300 is being sarcastic, 375flywheel hp is maxed out!!
I know first hand, and even at this level went boom!!
Rod through the block

 

Really?? I can't remember ever hearing of an engine blowing from using the Stillen SC. What happened? Did you add anything to the kit, or did it blow as it comes out of the box?

 

I blew two engines wit stage 4 not modded in any way. This was on the track road racing but no mods to engine..Also ran Stillen oil cooler and larger radiator..Stillen runs the front cylinders lean when tracked hard. You will not have any issues usually on the street only the track!

 

Crazy!!

So i'm curious how it runs the front cylinders lean? I'm not trying to find flaws in what you are saying, i'm really curious.

If anything, i'd imagine because of the equal geometry all around of the "plenum", the heat exchanger "defusing" the air coming out of the blower, and the fact that the intake air is already under pressure when the valves open anyways, you would have a perfectly even distribution of air into all cylinders! Not to mention the 7th injector misting in even more gas at WOT thus creating an even richer mixture. This all assumes equal duty time on all the injectors as well, and i'm pretty sure the SS box doesn't individualy control each injector.

I wonder if Meth injection would solve this issue?

What made you determine that lean front cylinders was the reason for the engine going?

 

Finally got around to taking some pics. Let me know what you think of my collection.

 

Nice!!

FYI 2003 Z is supposed to have a red pully not gold for stage 3. (The colors are different sizes) I know this because they sent me the wrong one by accident when i went to stage 3. I have my red stage three pully still. PM me an offer if it's something you may be interested in! It's real easy to change out with using a rubber strap wrench.

 

Nice assortment vehicles man

 

Gold is Stage 3 also.

 

Intersting. It was explained to me that different years had differen't fuel curves in the OEM computer (03 thru 04.5/04.5 thru 05 etc.), thus needed slightly different pullys. It kinda didn't make sense, but i assumed they knew what they were talking about, and it seemed to make a difference when i put the "right" one on.

PMed btw

 

Doug, aren't we still awaiting reply from "str8dum1"?

 

yes sir, however i feel any attempt to request the same information maybe looked at as harrasment.. so i'm waiting until he posts the same thing again down the road to ask him the same question

 

When has that ever stopped you?

 

when they started sending me on mini-vacations for it

 

lmfao..i cant beleive i missed this thread, the first day this guy put a thread up with his car i told him he would come to a point where he would realize he should not have bought this car because he has no room to grow with that kit, and now he posts this up...wow this just made my whole day...lmfao...!!!!

 

He probably tore down both motors to come to his conclusions.
I pulled my motor right before it blew. It started eating a quart a week. The pistons were so loose they fell out. I had stage 4 + a 55 shot though.
There may be an answer to the lean cond. Internally, the stillen SC is not sealed. Meaning, there are paths the air takes without being forced through the intercooler. The intercooler becomes the restricted path of travel and heated air sneaks around through the cracks.
I had plans to seal it up, port and polish, then add an extra resevoir and pump... I just got tired, broke down and bought twins.

 

So their CAI's is 10hp less than their SC
