Proof STS and rear mounted turbos work
Re: Proof STS and rear mounted turbos work
onlyone07, I think you have already proved to us that you know all about internet/sea level racing 
ZombieSS, some of us are familiar with how poor atmospheric conditions affect track times.....I think you have a real good mph considering the factors. I'm sure you will be 127+mph when you have a little more time to dial it is and get some 50 degree temps. I think you are running well

Re: Proof STS and rear mounted turbos work
Lets see...ypu make~250rwhp more than a stock ls1 and trap 25mph more than stock ls1's...sounds right to me. 
Back when I had untuned heads/cam I was making 120rwhp more than a stock Lt1 and trapped 114mph (about 12-14mph faster than a stock LT1 M6). eneral rule of thumb applies...every 10hp will gain you 1mph for a street machine. bviously when you start getting into 9's or faster it dosnt quite work that way.

Re: Proof STS and rear mounted turbos work
I dont remember anyone saying that STS rear mount kits dont work or arent capable of decent times. Now being as good as a front mount, thats a diffrent story. Excellent times. I have nothing against the sts kits. Keep us all posted on your progress and new times!

Whatever I read these threads and its very upsetting to see nothing but bashing for a company that invented a new way of doing things when the world screemed "NO IT"S NOT EVEN GOING TO SPOOL" before "EVER".
Sucks to be wrong I guess but suck it up, put a cork in your *** and it won't stink everytime you speak.
