Calling all STS Fbody owners

For all of the STS fbody owners that are out there I have a question for you: What rear gear ratio are you running?

I tried 4.10's whe I first installed the kit but noticed that I was in full boost for a very short time before I had to shift but I loved the hard acceleration.

I then tried out my OEM 3.42's and lost that initial hard acceleration but gained a much longer full boost period.

Comparing to some of the vehicles that I raced before with the 4.10's w/boost i walked away from them like it was nothing.
With the 3.42's and boost it was a much closer race at the start but once I reached full boost I pulled from them like the 4.10's

I tried 3.73's in my previous 3.8L Fbody n/a and was not too impressed with the acceleration gain.

I'm just curious to see what setups others are running with the STS. Thanks for your input!

Re:

I have the STS kit on my 94 z28 m6. I also was running a 4:10 gear with my stock 10 bolt. I recently had a new moser rearend installed with a 3:50 gear ratio. Like you mentioned the accleration is not that quick but you stay in boost allot longer. To fix that problem. Get a msd 2-step. You will be able to launch your car very very hard and still have that top end. But yeah a 2-step will defently make up for that gear loss. - Mike

I have an 02 Z28 LS6 and I have not seen or heard of MSD or any other company making an ignition system that will adapt to the individual coil set up that 98-02 vehicles have. Have you and if so where?

I thought you had a lt1 z28 cause of your member name. Anyways I dont think they make one for the ls1 vehicles. Harlen makes a 2-step for the
98-02 camaros. But yeah a 2-step will defently make up for the gear loss from a dead stop. It will allow you to launch your car on boost. With a 4k rpm pill I'm launching my car @ 5psi of boost

Pointless or not, he was asking if anyone made one.

Those are coils, not an ignition system...

The 6AL is an ignition system. BIG difference.
