Heeeeeerrrre we go again...

 

I love when STS people get offended when someone else states something about the kit that demonstrates the negative characteristics of such a design.

 

Im not going to feed your little STS bashing rampage... Ill leave it to you to hijack yet another thread. Have fun kiddo.....

 

I'm not bashing STS at all. You're just pitching a childish fit because I'm pointing out how the kit will behave. I'm sure you're even more pissed that I'm right kiddo

 

Umm yeah...i designed this thread so that i could get a few little details about the STS Turbo kit. I already know all about the very minimal turbo lag...i know all about the turbo...i just wanted to make sure i wasn't going to have to remove my SFC's. so if you will be so kind as not to point out the negatives about the turbo, and not get into childish arguments, then that would be great. otherwise, just don't even bother posting any replys to this thread. Oh and as for you loving it when STS people get offended...why don't you get off your high horse of "my turbo is better than yours" and go pester someone else's thread. Yeah. don't reply to this post anymore 5.0THIS. I am asking you nicely. don't reply.

That's a pic of my LT1 see more pics on our site. The good thing about the LT1 kit is that all the piping fits very nicely up in the body of the car and leaves no clearance issues. We are in the process of tunning our new 355, and going to see what it will do with the 60-1 and meth before upgrading the to the GT series and adding the FMIC. We have 36# injectors in it now, but the 42s are a good choice and tune nicely too. Definitly go with a tune to make it safe. I ran the LT1 for a year with stock engine and meth, 3psi low boost and 7psi high boost with meth/water.

 

What kind of times are those STS systems running?

 

Depends on how the car/truck is set up and who is driving.

 

Yeah definitely give me the updated info on the turbo 355 setup. i am planning on rebuilding mine into a 355 as well. maybe 383 stroker, but i haven't decided yet. as far as i can tell i won't have any problems with my subframe connectors...And you say that are no clearance issues? excellent. this is all very good news.

 

blahster, sent you a pm.

 

might i add that i worked for sts for over a year and now that i dont i can still say that they work however they are not as efficient as a front mount, but most people dont want to cramp up their engine compartments more nor are they looking to run 8's so best turbo bang for your buck. i still run my kit as a remote mount however if i want to run faster than my current 10's then i will do something different. i just get tired of people ragging on the design, yes there are some downsides but every system has its +'s and -'s
just wanted to say that for a while
as for the original thread
get that thing tuned and get a wideband cant stress that enough, key is to pull timing out and watch your a/f ratio if you want more than 5 ps1 i recomend the water injection
my 2 cents

 

Plus check out Februarys edition of CHP, the magazine did a full length article about STS. I am sure that there will be some more business generated with that one. Also they won GM's aftermarket design award last year as well. All I can say is that GM thought enough of their design to warrant their award and that means something. I too can say that I don't have any personal experience with their product other than riding in one, and witnessing what I saw of their product in action at SEMA this year. But I did like what I saw and I wouldn't hesistate to recommend a kit to a person that wants some instant gratification on a stock setup. A totally modded setup I am sure will be different but for a stock system I think it would be just fine.

 

So when did you run 10s??? 12.4s out of a turbo 383 sounds pretty crappy to me...

 

Out of curiosity, what are the STS cars running? How about STS owners post up some times

 

You purposely said CARS!! Grrrrrr LOL
