Like everyone else said, you will be lucky if you hit more than 340whp with your setup even with Stage 4. Stillen as blown motors and to say that Turbo has more maintenance is also not true. Only thing I do to my car is keep an eye on my Oil and do them regularly and no belt to worry about. You also cant tune Stillen coz the box is locked by stillen. Good Luck!
Edit.

I think you really rushed into this before doing any research.

Let me say, that I am a high mileage driver with an automatic, I use my car for business and without it I would have no income so I have to be real safe with the option I choose. I dont care to race or have god loads of HP, just want to have fun and most of all be safe on the engine, im not a monkey wrench nor do I have time to have my car in the shop for any reason, also, all the work is being done by the Dealership, so no voiding of warranty is to be expected.....Secondly, I wanna show the vehile and I think the Polished Stillen SC is a show piece all in itself.......I do appreciate all the feedback and everyone has thier own opinion, but what is most important to me is Reliabilty and Stillen has proven that by keeping it around 7psi with a bolt on SC, not to mention it sounds sick, way better than turbo......

in case they do put it in writing then forget about running anything higher than stage 2 so be happy with 301.98whp![Stick Out Tongue](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

The only reason that i went with the stillen back in mid 2003 was there was nothing else out there that didnt blow the motor,s.I still like the kit for what it is but since my switch to the greddy twins........it is like night and day.

Hey guys,
Hope you don't mind me putting in an opinion.
If you're looking for gobs of power then you're probably not going going to want to go with the Stillen supercharger. We didn't design the kit to make tons of power. We designed the kit to offer a big gain in power with reliability and legality in mind. To date Stillen is still the only company with a street legal supercharger that is backed by a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.
If you want something that is going to be very powerful and you're not worried about legality or warranty then I encourage you to go with a twin turbo setup. However, something that you might want to keep in mind is that one of our customers with a manual G35 sedan with our Stage 4 supercharger and Cosworth heads just beat a twin turbo G35 coupe in the 1/4 mile...

That don't mean anything. The TT car could be only pushing 4.5psi or yet not tuned. It could also be the TT was on Street tires and was just spinning all day with bad tires. I agree that the Stillen has the Legit CARB alibi but Vortech also has a CARB sticker. Dont tell me that your Stage 4 is street legal
Still is just way to much money if you aad the Hood, JMHO!!!
By the way Stillen Stage 2 SC has blown engine already so it is just as risky as the other kits out there.
