STS Turbo kit question I want to put this kit on the formula in my sig. It has the ls1 out of my 98 camaro. What I wnat to know is if I can order the ls1 kit for the 98-02 F bodies, and will in bolt up to the car with minor mods, or no mod at all? Obviously they do not offer a kit for an ls1 3rd gen, and I do not have the money for a custom setup.
Thanks,
Chris

have you gotten under each car to see the differences in the floor pans? ride height? length of cars? i know that the formulas come with a single pipe out to the rear and then have the split muffler in right in the back. the ls1 cars are the same way, just look to see how the pipes flow and fit in the pans. i am sure that you could do it, you might have to go to a muffler shop and have some work done on the pipes to make it fit just right, but i dont see why you couldnt. good luck

I would say call STS. They would be the best people to talk to. Maybe you can just buy the parts you need and have an exhaust shop fab up the rest.....
I'd like to see this kit installed on a thirdgen. I'd like to run some sort of power adder, but I havnt decided if it will be NOS, charger or turbo.

i live right next to STS and have been to their facility, my friend is a main fabricator there..
you cna use the LT1 kit... the only thing you would need to change.. would be the very last up pipe at the end.. where it goes to the throttle body, you would need to modify that, because the LT1 intake sits lower than the TPI.. but yeah call them and speak to Dave South, he is the VP of sales and can help you out.

I had spray on the motor when it was in my camaro, and it worked really well, the only downside is for a higher horsepower shot you go through it like crazy, and it gets to be a pain to have to keep refilling the bottle. I also thought about a supercharger, but wanted to retain most of the street manners, and gas milage. I spoke with someone from sts, and he said that there will be very little differance. I guess what I will do is order the kit and install it myself. I will post up here frequently, along with pics since I see there are some others that are interested.
