but seriously, it's just great to see both stillen and gtm making progress on s/c kits for the vq37vhr...i mean the engine debuted back in mid 07 and we're finally now getting CARB pending s/c kits
Agreed.. we're very excited. 
Just to clarify a teeny bit on how CARB certification and testing works.. there's no submitting for CARB approval without having the exact production kit, complete bill of materials, and a licensed production vehicle that's sent to an independent laboratory of the states choosing to submit for testing.
Anyone saying they are in the process of gaining CARB approval would also be saying that they have a fully functioning production kit that's installed, working to spec, completely tuned and 100% ready to go into production with the exact set of parts and fully comprised kit.
CARB doesn't allow for changes to the component set or tuning, you literally submit the complete specs, parts list, and every piece of information you have once the production kit is assembled, and then you're granted the ability to schedule a testing session at an approved facility, and if you pass, are granted approval.
We're not there yet, but on our way..

I have a lot more respect for Stillen right now. Yes, this is a public forum, but we're still all adults here. As for being adults, there's boundaries that shouldn't be crossed and obviously they were.
Josh keep us updated !

Bold statement Sam, considering we've had the shop G37 on the dyno for two weeks, tuning the vehicle, and are consistently seeing well in excess of 400whp with the A/F ratios dialed in.
STILLEN has always felt it prudent to get far enough in the R&D to have established results, and at that point we're excited to share and delve into the R&D, tech, dynos, and detailed information when it's near what the production version will contain.
That time is coming soon.. stay tuned..

Looking forward to your results Josh
