Turbo guys help the brother out pls. (1) I am thinking sts on a bone stock 95 Z28 M6...How much HP and torque will i see with the sts?
(2) Can i still have my center mount exhaust set up with the sts?
(3) Do you guys recommend sts on a lowered car? say 1' drop?
(4) Is STS a good bang for your buck? I'd be happy with 400whp.

I'm no expert on the STS but I will say no to the center Mounted exhaust, no on a lowered car, bang for buck...yeah. It seems to be a decent bang for buck. However if you are looking for 400rwhp there are cheaper ways to get it. You can stay NA and easily achieve 400.
BOSS APPROVED!

1" lowered...I've seen it work with the front charge pipe being slightly modified to avoid scraping.
Bang for your buck...heck ya, just find a used kit if you wanna save a few bucks.
RWHP and RWTQ wise - depends how much boost you run! 5psi standard with no FMIC or Methanol, probably close to 400rwhp and maybe 435rwtq. At 7 or 8psi, you're getting closer to maybe 450 - 475rwhp and 500+rwtq.
You can probably still use the tips you have with the assistance of a good muffler shop fabricator, but you'll end up throwing the muffler out.
If you're only going for 400rwhp, the turbo is not the way to go about it. Why spend $3-4k+ on the kit plus all the supporting mods ---at least $5k when it's all said and done, when you can just spend $2500 for bolt-ons and a cam and hit 400rwhp easily!
If that's your plan...stay NA!! For another $550 or so, add 100rwhp with some N2O

!!5psi on the LT1 should net 350-375rwhp and 7-8psi will see ~400rwhp with the T60 setup.
Good Heads/cam on an LT1 wil get ya ~400rwhp, but the turbo leaves you room to grow.

I know it was an LT1, that's why I dropped the numbers from the LS1 numbers we're familiar with in regards to how much power the boost with make. Again, it's all approximate until you get the car on the dyno...that's all he was asking for. A good tune can help a lot!
