Review Stillen Stage 1 Turn key SC
#136
397whp is a great number but what's up with your AFR on those two runs? Was Uprev working on a custom tune for you or are those two runs using Stillen's out-of-the-box tune? Any dyno sheets after the sensor issue was fixed?
Congrats and hopefully the test pipes will give you a good bump in power

this is a copy of what i wrote else where;
all i can say a lot of my issues is from my installer. they used speaker wire instead of the wire that came with the kit to extend the sensors and didn't shrink wrap them correctly so it shorted out. I just found these things out. other than the sensors throwing off my tune the car was perfect. it is beyond perfect now thanks to stillen and uprev.
Q8y im working on getting the other dyno sheets emailed to me or josh so we can post them.

Its the actual uprev. lol. its forsay the headquaters. cause the issues i was having uprev and stillen took care of the trouble shooting to make sure it was right for all the 2008s 5AT. All i have to do really was donate the car for a few days and swap test pipes out for stock cats and visa-versa

o thats not bad at all. i plan on getting the kit during the winter and just want to make sure not to run into any problems. so i shouldn't use speaker wire? lol. so if all the sensors were hooked up and shrink wrapped properly you car wouldve been fine with the out of box tune?

I've been away all day, what's going on? The kit wasn't installed correctly? They didn't do the sensor wires correctly? I imagine you had this problem fixed and then retuned or redynoed?

ok i have mine only reading 3/4 full when full. this was an issue before the SC was installed and the dealer was going to fix it at the same time as i got my LTH installed but ran out of time. i then got the SC installed and came back to the dealer and they replaced the fuel sending unit (3rd time now this has worked the last 2 times) but this did not work. Then I remember that RCZ had said that his guage was off as well and thoughty their might be somthing else going on. but i guess not if you are not having an issue.

No.. this is basically the STILLEN tune. UpRev went in and looked at everything, and played with some settings as Whiddles was going back and forth with test pipes vs. cats, but all in all this is basically the tune that's shipped with the kit. AFR's were mid-11's..
