Wish it had more engine and interior pics. Not big on all that flashy stuff, I like go, not show.

It's functional. Thought it had 400+ hp
It was built for time attack

Yeah it was designed for Time Attack hence the roll cage, etc. The racing battery is a pretty cool idea. Unfortunately this car would not be compatible with my 2 car seats mod in the backseat.

Moving forward, anyone have pics of a Stillen ram intake installed in a 4th Gen?

The fog lamps will be "mod" number 1, anyone got a step by step on that one?

Also wondering if that stillen front stabilizer bar will fit under the hood. I don't think there are any differences at that point of the engine or hood so I think it will fit.

the stillen fsb should fit. It has the clearance from the engine cover and throttle body connection of the intake piping.

you could try the Racing Line strut bar...it's cheaper than the Stillen and comes in either polished or a black oem look:

Yup, those will do. Should help a little bit with the steering too, feels a bit loose right now but I read some reviews saying the steering felt "numb"

^That's any Altima with a stock suspension. Numb & floaty.

Does the strut bar make a noticeable difference or will it take a suspension upgrade to accomplish that?

Right off the bat, you'll notice a dramatic difference in your understeer. It gives the car a more rear-wheel drive feeling. It helps a ton, even on a stock suspension.

That's what I'm looking to find out, thanks Penguin!

Are people generally happy with the ram chargers increasing power?

yeah the stillen fsb made going into the turns on freeway interchanges a lot more fun and less rocking or swaying! wonder how much more stable it'll be with the RL rear sway bar

I'm not sure if I can even do a rear sway bar, there's a giant battery back there likely blocking that path.

I think you can still do it as it just replaces the oem rsb...it's near the gas tank

I don't remember noticing anything when I installed mine. It definitely sounds better, but a 1-2hp gain on the butt dyno is pretty hard to feel.
