Just asking because like I said I'm new and have never gone beyond stock on a car before.

If/when I do this it'll be for myself but it'll still be a good feeling knowing that I could mess with people if I wanted.

As far as pics of the car, I took 3 today but just with a cell phone to send to a friend that ask for them. I'll get some better pics soon but the car is just fully stock. The only thing different from most is it's the Anniversary Edition.
With 500+ hp, you're not gonna stop at just 100 mph. You'd be shocked how quickly you can hit 150 with 500+ turbo hp on tap.

Now keep in mind none of the stock components were made to take this kind of abuse.

Frame
Tranny
Differential

just to give you a few.

Stillen has figured out all the tweaks and headaches that we had. you won't have any issues as long as it's installed correctly.
Weiboy-

I think I read in another thread that you have the Stillen SC on your car. Sounds like you like it? Do you have any idea of what your 0-60 times are now at?

Well next time you're at a stand still, punch it and count or something... lol... just messing.

I'm getting impatient now so I guess I'll have to order me one of these in the next few weeks. I just need to get over the sticker shock of writing out such a large down payment check for the car. I should've checked into this before buying the car and then gave the dealer $6,000 less and ordered the SC... lol.

I think you need to do more than just installing the SC kit. You'll need an oil cooler kit, tranny cooler if you're an AT, valve body upgrade and gauges. These are the very basics you'll need once you go FI. Our engines are known to run hot and the last thing you don't want your car to do is take a dump on you and go into limp mode lol.

Stillen sells all of those stuff I just mentioned and you should talk to Josh@Stillen. He can probably get you a package deal. Also, you can ask them if they have any Stillen dealers in your area that can install your kit. Definitely talk to Josh though. He's the man!

Thanks and I'll take your advice.

I knew about the oil cooler and tranny cooler. I didn't think about the rest of it though. I spoke to a Kenny out there the other day but when I'm ready I'll ask for Josh and make sure I get what I need.

For now I'm loving my G the way it is but in the next month or so I'm sure I'll be loving it even more.
