Default Another STS Car

Never posted anything on my current set up. Ran the car all with awesome results. Not gonna give to much info on the entire set up..Street car. It is a sts car.

1999 WS6 STS Turbo400

Mine is the black car in the 2 bottom videos

This is a quick test launch on the car

No ET nations races at Milan in Michigan

In the videos..the car was NOT leaving on boost. I had some issues with my spark plug wires and it would not hit boost. After that weekend i swapped out the plug wires, held the trans brake..and she hit boost REAL quick. I was disapointed to not leave on boost this year..but next year it'll happen.

It looks like you leave pretty good to not be on boost. 60ft times?

Definetly an interesting setup. I'd be worried about backpressure with the Borla......but I do know from experience that the STS can be loud, especially with H/C.

Procharger coolers.....that's a new one. My $0.02 is they aren't that effective. A true FMIC would be better.

Aside from that.....I gave most of my attention to the 1st pic. Nice....um.......scenery

Dont have any back pressure issues.

Procharger coolers are doing a great job right now. Possibly upgrade later...but these are working...and not having problems.

I did my research before i did my setup. I read many of your threads as well as others.

Lets just say this isnt a 500hp car on 9lbs...its got a bit more then that
