Default few questions on my current setup

im debaiting on chaning my current setup for a sts kit, i know the sts kit isnt the best but i dont want much more then 500whp. i want something more d/d friendly then my current setup.

my current setup
fast 90
trex
prc 243's
tci 4200 stall
9inch with 3.90 gears

my question is, is my stall and rear end gears not good for a sts kit? and for a aftermarket cam suggestions? i dont want to use a stocker. i plan on building a front mount setup eventually in the next 2 years since i plan on building a 400+cube stroker at the same time


also a question on the sts oiling setup, is there a pump i can put in the back that will pump the oil in and out of the turbo so its all contained in a seperate setup in the back, id rather not run the super long feed and return lines if possible

Yeah I kinda agree with Wanito. But I wouldnt say your stall is bad, just the rear gear.

I'm looking at it like this tho for what ill sell my exhaust ect for I won't have but 1500 into the sts. The single turbo I want is 1500 alone so for the 2 years until eveyrthing is done I don't think I can loose on this
