I bet with tuning and proper fuel system it would do better.
STS updates?
Here is an email I got from him a few days back.....
"LS1 systems will be available later in the month. I've been real busy and
have turned marketing/website over to our marketing guys. We installed 2
LS1 systems about a week ago. One dyno'd almost exactly what our prototype
did. That car drove up from Texas for install. Another drove up from Vegas
and had one put on. He will be getting tuned and dyno this week I believe.
The one on my 98 runs great, haven't dyno'd yet though. All the LT1 cars
are running great.
This will be a good year for us.
Later, Rick"
So who in Texas got one? Speak up.

NOTE: Don't quote me, this is what I heard from a 3rd party. Also this dyno, from what I'm told by everyone here that the dyno rates low as low as 30rwhp........take it with a grain of salt.
he did run a 12.9@115mph...spinning in 1st and 2nd but I don't know if he was on his 5# or 8#...I assume 5#

Thats the problem with the 60mm turbo that comes with the kit he`s about maxed at what that turbo will support (500 rwhp) So to make more power he`ll have to go to a bigger turbo or up the boost and run it way out of it`s efficency range. Very impressed with the numbers though. Glad this kit is working out it`s going to be a nice option for the guys that need to pass emissions but still want to go FI. So much for all the nay sayers on here this (poor design) turbo kit is making more power then my traditional design turbo kit. Good job STS.

That the kit can support upto 5-600 bhp is fine for me. I don't need to be a drag strip/ street racing terror. I just want to keep my perma-grin up and running.
Besides, five hundred at the wheels WILL hand most cars there ***. And if it doesn't. Oh well, I wouldn't be too broke up about that.

Just went to Autorama in Dallas and they had a vendor there that sells and installs the STS kit. His company was Texas Rear Turbos out of Mansfield Texas (Billy May - 817-703-3750). He has his SOM 2002 Firebird there with the kit standard installed on it (4-5 PSI).
He said the 4-5 PSI kit on an absolutely stock motor (stock injectors, no tuning etc.) makes around 420HP and 450 TQ. The cost on this kit is around $3,700.00 and Billy said they get around $300.00 more for the installation which takes 2-3 hours.
They have an alky injection option which is run when you upgrade to 7-8 PSI.
I believe in this case they use the same turbo. I am not sure EXACTLY what the upcharge is for this option.
The install looked pretty clean and my only concern might be ground clearance issues at times if you had a lowered car. There is a pipe hangs fairly low that is around the driver's side rear wheel. I don't think it will be a problem with a standard height car but LOWBIES maight have to be careful.
Boost apparently starts around 3000RPM. ON a side note, there were quite a few curious on-lookers and Billy mentioned he had been getting that all day.

Someone has, or there wouldnt be pics of it on their site. It seems hard to find ppl using any of the kits out there lately. I only had one response on users of the QMP kit, other than Rob. And there are a few with TT street kit from the first batch mostly.
DarkBlueTA-With the Dyno #'s above, is this a high altitude or what? Alwasy see ppl making low numbers in high elevation, thought the dyno corrected for that, but not all ppl get the corrected #'s. Interesting to say the least.

They dyno numbers were in Las Vegas NV. about 2200-2300 feet. I'm assuming that they are corrected though.

What kind of pump?
as soon as i figure it out im gonna build the kit myself
----------------------------------------------------
anyone got some ideas how to make a pump like that??
he uses a special turbo designed for his kit to reduce lag so you'll need one of those too.
