BBB thats cool.. when i said junk thats just a figure of speach, i know the sts kit put down some decent numbers, just not what im looking for, and the issues my roommate had was the frame connectors that were custom welded to the car, and he got halfway through the install and over all just wasnt really happy with the fitment of some of the stuff that came in the kit....

Took a stock 97 lt1 to 130 mph traps
I got to be honest... I find that hard to believe on a stock LT1... Heads simply dont flow that much for a 12psi boost system and a 350 to make that much power... 554rwhp with a turbo is possible to trap that... but... honestly... I find it hard to believe on stock heads and stock cam... and that the bottom end is holding up... uuff.. its the second time a turbo does this... im begginning to get impressed.

You are gaining 25rwhp/psi.. that is around 30hp/psi at the crank... The LT1 is simply not that efficient... I am a bit skeptical.. but its got to have had something done...

nah, stock cam, stock heads, engine never been touched, 50k miles. Car ran in this condition for a year, then the owner killed it on the dyno. He kept running 13 psi on pump gas. It kept running, never wanted to die. LOL He still drove it home though.

You have to remember that is at altitude with an average correction factor of ~1.23....and I won't even get into the whole "turbo and altitude correction factors" crap again.

We'll see when the track opens up in a few months....I could really care less what a car does on the dyno as opposed to what it does on the track.
