Figured out why I don't want STS
By the time I actually get around to doing something like this, I'll be putting a lot of money into the car to make sure it can handle. A set of forged pistons would definitely be included, and a 12 bolt or Dana 60 if I don't already have one by then. I'm not the type to risk stuff like that.

Rollbar in a street car that gets 27 mpg highway?
I had heard this rumor as well! So I contacted NHRA!
I asked...
Hello
I’m building a street car to take to the drag strip. I have heard that Rear turbo kits, like the STS turbo system will not be a legal. Is this true???? I don’t want to install a turbo system and not be able to race.
Thanks

Hi Ross,
Just a rumor. In fact, we saw one of these systems at PRI last week, and it looks fine. As long as the turbo is under the floor, and not in the driver’s compartment, no problem.

I ended up going Procharger F1a due to my big inch motor and other reasons!
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the clarification.
Read it in another thread (http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=485258) and was just passing it along.

I would not go with a D1-sc if you aren't going above 8 psi. Between the really peaky power curve and the fact that your car is a 6 speed you will never run the proper number at the track. I would recommend a smaller blower so that you can fill the compressor housing sooner and flatten out that power curve. If you want to go bigger later on just sell the compressor and bracket and buy bigger then.
