Stillen Stage 1 Turn key SC
This is something we all have been waiting for. The car is a 2008 5AT G37S Coupe. I received the packages last Friday and then drop the car off at KRMotorsports here in Killeen Texas for the install same day. KR was recommended to me by Stillen. KR stayed late on Friday and worked on Saturday to complete the car for me. I also had the oil and transmission coolers put on at the same time. Got the install on all of it done for $1000. Shop was awesome and very knowledgeable on the Stillen products. Here are some Droid pics of the install.
I give KRMotorsports an A+. The job turned out great and they were great guys to deal with.
The SC kit itself installed perfectly as the directions said it would in the manual. The shop said it probably was the best install they had in a long time.
Okay so now the SC is installed now comes the tune. I worked with Stillen a lot with this. At first the tune keep putting my car into limp mode and shooting the MAF error codes. Called Josh and he took care of it right away. They just needed to tweak the thresholds for the sensors. Stillen also had UPREV drive 60 miles to see my car and go over there software. Car is running like a champ now. I probably have close to a 100 miles at or over 100 mph lol. yeah that equals the 10 mpg's I'm getting lol. Starting today I will more than likely drive it like before. That is easy until some idiot pulls up next to me.
The dyno should be coming soon.....

So between Parts, Shipping, and Labor how much did you pay? BTW does anyone have an idea how this FI system will effect the longevity of out engines/transmission? Do we need new clutches for the +120BHP?
