sts turbo lag?
I see 12 psi in first gear six speed 3.73 gears. I see full boost at 3.8k and no drop to 7k. I dont understand the dip in tq in my dyno but the car on the street never noses over in the upper power band.
Based on your A/F ratio on the dyno you provided, you should be ok. I wouldn't be going to the track with it or racing it for money until the issue you have is addressed. I don't see a problem with driving around and hurting the car.
good deal. i dont have the $$ what so ever for any kind of repairs for another 3years. it seams to drive fine. to late about the track. spun through 1,2&3rd. about 115 at the 1/4mile line. best time 13.9 on street tires, spun the pilot bearing, lost 5th gear and punctured the rear passenger side tire. new D&D trans w/viper upgrade going in tomorrow with a custom brass bushing from Eagle cranks and cheep tires on order... i'm freaking done driving till next year. it's either park her and not drive for a long time or do the somewhat smarter thing and sell it. it's getting way to expensive for this Air Force guy's wallet

i just had my s-10 w/ an lq4 and rear mount 76mm. dynoed today
@ 5lbs it made 471hp/471tq
if you step on it it wont have lag if your around 2600 or up anything below it and its laggy, but still much faster than it was naturally aspirated.
props to nick @ newtech

The trick with STS is keeping the heat so, pull the exhaust down, keep your shorty headers(get them ported tho), Paint the exhaust with black high temp paint(a few coats), let dry, Then wrap exhaust turbo to headers, you can wrap twice but that just gonna be a pain in the ***...no i promise you will see a jump and less lag. Good luck.
