We’ve been doing quite a few superchargers here in the STILLEN Performance Shop lately, but we know that not everyone is in the market for forced induction. There are definitely more ways to squeeze a few horses and great sound out of your engine without the investment of a supercharger. This 2011 Chevy Camaro SS went the way of an exhaust upgraded. JBA Headers up front, through the stocks cats, and a Magnaflow catback exhaust to finish up the rear.

JBA Cat4Ward Shorty Camaro SS Headers

The Camaro SS JBA Cat4Ward Shorty Headers are mandrel-bent stainless steel primary tubes with patented JBA Firecone® collector for durability and maximum flow. The JBA Firecone® merge collector helps to maintain the direction and speed of the exhaust flow for a noticeable increase in power and efficiency. These Chevy Camaro SS headers are 50 state CARB legal and are dyno proven power and torque gains.

The Chevy Camaro Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system is mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, straight through stainless steel Magnaflow Performance mufflers and polished stainless steel rear exit tips. These exhaust systems offer a deep gratifying exhaust tone along with increased exhaust flow designed to produce power gains.

A rare sight to see a Chevy SSR on the road and even less likely to see one in the STILLEN Performance Shop. These Super Sport Roadsters were only built from 2003 to 2006. The early models had a 5.3L Vortec V8 producing around 300 HP. The later models got a LS2 motor and pushed closer to 400HP, so it’s no surprise that the owner wanted to drop a Magnuson Supercharger on this 2003.

This SSR is definitely one of the cleanest we have seen in the shop, complete with a fresh ghost flame paint job and air bag suspension.

More supercharger goodness here in the STILLEN Performance Shop. This time in the form of a Magnuson Supercharger System dropping into a 2011 Victory Red Chevy Camaro SS.

Pfadt Suspension Installed

Along with the supercharger, we also bolted on a few Pfadt Suspension pieces. The Chevy Camaro SS Pfadt Rear Arm Package includes Rear Trailing Arms and Rear Tie Rods. These stainless steel arms increase strength while reducing overall weight. This allows the Camaro rear suspension to react quicker while keeping the rear tires in contact with the road for greater traction. The Pfadt Rear Arm Packages includes all required upgraded replacement bushings.

Pfadt Camaro Front and Rear Adjustable Sport Sway Bars

5th Generation Camaros are notorious for under-steer. The Pfadt Sport Sway Bars eliminate that by providing a proper rate of stiffness and balance. This reduces body roll and increases steering response resulting in a better driving experience. Pfadt Sport Sway Bars include greasable graphite-impregnated polyurethane bushings and new mounting brackets for a complete installation.

In addition to the handful of customer vehicles we have been featuring lately, there have plenty of others. Here are just a few Nissans that have come through the STILLEN Performance Shop in Orange County recently.

Nissan Juke Lowering Kit Springs Installation

The owner of this Nissan Juke wanted to minimize wheel well gap without compromising ride quality. The Nissan Juke Eibach Pro-kit Lowering Springs does just that. While only dropping the car around 1.2″ in the front and rear, the Eibach springs still allow plenty of room for the suspension to travel.

2013 Nissan Maxima Intake Installation

At the STILLEN shop, we had a local 2013 Nissan Maxima owner come down to get a STILLEN Nissan Maxima Intake installed.  The STILLEN Maxima Intake increases horsepower and torque while utilizing the included genuine K&N air filter.  This intake integrates into the factory air inlet directing the fresh air straight into the filter allowing for the best source of fresh air to allow the engine to breath!  To complete the performance look each intake is polished to set off the engine bay and add a little extra excitement! Be sure to check out all of our Nissan Maxima performance parts.

A set of Tein Coilovers with EDFC ACTIVE went into this 350Z. EDFC ACTIVE allows the driver to adjust dampening force from inside the car. This is controlled by step motors installed on each shock absorber.

G37 STILLEN Supercharger & Cross Drilled Sport Rotors Installation

The owner of this Malbec Black Infiniti G37 Convertible dropped in at the STILLEN shop and wanted a little more power, so he opted for the STILLEN VQ37 Supercharger System. This 50 state smog legal G37 Supercharger pushes the VQ37 to over 500 horsepower while retaining reliability!

Dodge Challenger SRT8

The black 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 we had in the STILLEN Performance Shop just a few weeks ago is back for a little upgrade. Seems like the Vortech Supercharger and Centerforce Clutch we installed is generating a little too much power for the suspension and brakes to handle.

The owner opted for a set of Eibach Multi-Pro R1 Coilovers and Eibach front and rear sway bars to tighten up the suspension.

After the Dodge Challenger SRT8’s upgraded Eibach suspension was in, It was time for the computer alignment and corner balancing final touches.

After the techs improved the cars ability to handle the twists and turns, it was time to improve the cars ability to handle the increased power.  To achieve this the guys installed a set of DBA 4000 Series Drilled and Slotted Rotors paired with a set of Hawk Brake Pads and Goodridge Brake Lines for fade resistance and improved stopping power.

Ford GT 500 Shelby Cobra rear

It’s not easy to improve a car like the Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500, but when the owner of this 550hp beast wanted to upgrade the suspension and brakes, he turned to the trained professionals at STILLEN’s Orange County Performance Shop for a proper install. Numerous upgraded parts including an Eibach Multi-Pro R2 Coilover Kit, Fays2 Suspension Watts Link, slotted brake rotors, and a carbon fiber intake kit were all waiting for their new home.

White 370Z Nismo rear angle

I think it’s safe to say that most of you don’t get tired of seeing superchargers, especially when they go into a Nissan 370Z Nismo as clean as this one. Already having it’s share of mods, including the STILLEN 370Z Gen 3 Intake, the owner decided it was time to supercharge the VQ37.

The attention to detail on this white 370Z Nismo is very impressive. White powder coated front strut bar, flat black headlight housing with white projector rings, red carbon fiber interior accents, flat black wheels and white brake calipers are only a few of the custom touches that make this Z stand out.

2011 Ford Edge Lowered with H&R Springs

It’s not everyday a 2011 Ford Edge shows up in our shop, so we were excited when this black one, with monster 24″ wheels, came in wanting to reduce some of the wheel gap. The customer wanted to change the look without sacrificing the ride quality, so he opted for some H&R Sport Springs for his Ford Edge Sport.

The 2011 Ford Edge H&R Sport Springs (Part #HR51605) are roughly a 1.75″ drop in the front and 1.5″ drop in the rear. In addition to reducing the wheel well gap, the Ford Edge H&R Sport Springs lower the center of gravity while reducing body roll for better handling. The Sport Springs have a progressive spring rate design which provides excellent ride quality and comfort.

The Ford Edge has some fairly large wheel wells, so even with the 24s there is plenty of room for the suspension to travel without rubbing.
