I hope so man I can't wait!!! I haven't slept since my car has been gone. I have a potential kill list already, the mustang guys won't know what hit em...I hope I hope I hope! I still like the sound of the Stillen over every other SC on the market, that thing sounds bad a$$!

The HKS is a Centrifugal type SC. I have a friend that has one on a Z (his car is still at AAM too for tuning) and his made somewhere around 365-370 at the wheels but that was un-tuned. If I get 350 I'll be squealing like a little girl! But honestly I hope it's a good bit more with the bolt on’s and the tune. If all goes well I should have the dyno #'s by Saturday and I'll post em up.

this really makes me rethink whether S/C is the way to go.. STs & TTs seem to be getting more reliable, especially with correct tuning.. and they put down much more RWHP..

either way, great vids!

Man I gotta say I was REALLY torn between the TN kit and the HKS...I have heard some great things about the TN and their customer service/warranty is supposed to be top notch! I went with the HKS just to be different but TN was the only other choice as far as a turbo was concerned. Sorry for the thread jack.

Man that is kick a$$! I am concerned with traction, I am in the process of trying to find a set of rear wheels either the stock 04 18's or possibly even the 17"s but I'm not sure the 17's would clear the brembo's. One thing I've been concerned with is the stock drive line; have any of you guys’ exp. and broken axles, drive shaft problems, etc? Especially running either drag radials or slicks.

I've heard that the stock driveline can handle 500 hp well. anything above that is a must change. mrtomcat changed his rear transaxles. I think thats what you call them. because hes at 445 rwhp. I have around 330 rwhp and I'm only worried about my clutch.
