Stillen Supercharger

This is my first time visiting them and my experience with them is 100% satisfactory. When i got there i was amazed at how many STILLEN cars they have on their lot and most of them are FI'ed. The orange Mustang is my favorite of all of them. Wondering what whp they put out?








After chilling for a bit i was greeted by Josh(great guy btw) and he took me for a quick tour and man, i didn't know these guys manufacture most of their stuff in house. They make all the molds for body kits, side skirts rear bumpers front bumpers. Then they have the machine for drilling the brakes and a machine to make pulleys. It's pretty crazy, see the pic's for yourself.





After that he show me to the room where all the Superchargers are. It's very amazing how organize everything is. Take a look at this polished blower, i almost exchanged to it but didn't cuz they already put my parts back together. Look at how many kit's are about to get shipped out.






Look at these brakes. AP Racing! All made to order. Wished i had the money right now to get a set of these. Very high quality.

This is the main reason why i traveled 400 miles to STILLEN.



To get it tuned by them cuz i was experiencing some minor problems. It turns out not to be the tune that's causing my issues. My blower was running very hot for some unknown reasons and making low boost. Stillen took care of me and exchanged a new one with no questions asked. While my stay they even lend me a car to drive around and paid for my hotel. Can't beat that! Today i finally got my car back and it's running like a champ, the R&D manager tuned my car himself. He did a very good job, my car runs as smooth as it can be. here's my dyno sheet!

Don't be disappointed seeing the torque being that low. I have the CARB kit and it's good numbers for CARB to approve this kit. It's got potentials though for the people who wanna upgrade to more power in the future.

That's it for now, I just drove home straight from SOCAL and i'm hungry. Feel free to ask questions. Thanks for reading!

Props to Stillen for making everything right without the hassle a lot of companies out there give!

Those are some solid numbers... do you happen to have a baseline?

Nice. 411 is solid. I wonder if you could get a little more torque with the final drive gear mod and still be CARB ok?

no i don't, i think all our cars pretty much have the same amount of power.
