i have been told the same things.... people just talk a lot of ****!!! you cant always believe everything you hear! there are pics in my car domain, so you can get an idea of how it hangs. as long as it is installed correctly, then ground clearance wont be a problem! just dont drive it like a lifted truck! as for not making power, there are plenty of people on these forums that can prove that wrong!!
Better keep lots of check valves handy for the oiling system, mine liked to dump oil into the FMIC. And FWIW, you might wanna have another tuner look at the car. I put down 513/538 at 7psi on the GT67 through a TH-400! Stock heads, TR224 112 cam 
Not trying to bust your *****. If it were me, I'd take the chance of another tuner/dyno tune for a couple hundred bucks to possibly pick-up another 30-40rwhp and tq. And my bet is the tranny doesn't last a month if you beat on it much.
And HondaHunter, do this: PRC heads, Nice cam, and some spray. You'll go faster, and do it much cheaper. That's what I'm doing second time around. I learned that FI isn't for someone who is looking for a budget turbo kit.

what other mods, those numbers for 7psi on a stock motor with cam are very unrealistic unless it's some magical cam.

Was that cam specifically designed for the STS, or it is something you already had?

thanks dude.... i got the cam from Billy at TRT, i had it in for a few weeks before the STS kit went on. i needed something that ran with the stock tune, as i dont have any local tuners, and it happened to work out pretty good with the turbo as well!
