Head/Cam to go with sts turbo? ok so im really close to buying a camaro, but as soon as i get it im going to Turbo/Head/ Cam it out and do some gearing and a torque converter. I am most likley going to go with a sts turbo because of ease of install and its pretty cheap. If you know any other turbos with the same numbers and is cheaper post it up.
But i would like to know what Head/Cam should i go with if i go with a sts turbo, also what size stall.

The STS may seem like a nice cheap alternative, but once you add all of the ammenities that you'll need to get it running right, it's right up there with all of the others. I am certainly not knocking STS, I have one (with the GT67 upgrade) that I have yet to install.
EACH STS™ TURBO SYSTEM INCLUDES
ALL THE PARTS YOU NEED TO INSTALL
THE TURBO ON YOUR LS1
■ TO4E 60-1 Trim .81 A/R Garrett Turbo
■ 38mm TiAL Wastegate
■ K&N Air Filter, Dry-Charger and Air Filter Shield
■ Patented Turbo Oiling System
■ HPC coated intake /exhaust tubing
■ Electrical harness with oil warning system
■ Silicone connectors, clamps and fi ttings
■ Return oil cap with quick disconnect
■ Full color, step-by-step instruction manual
■ 1 year parts warranty
That's what comes with the system pasted right from their website. You're still gonna need to upgrade your fuel system, add an intercooler and get a dyno tune. I wouldn't trust my engine with a generic tune from a handheld. Just my opinion though. There is no cheap way to do FI the right way. I hope this helps or at least puts things in perspective for you.

STS does offer an additional fuel system upgrade to go along with the Turbo kit for like an additional $800 or so, buy the same parts from a couple other websites and you could probably shave $200 off from that.
