Right ON! I hope you see good numbers from that kit. Be sure to post up some vid's and pics. If you need anyone to host them let me know and I will do that for you.
That would rock if you see 100rwhp from 5psi.
What are your expectations HP/TQ wise from 8psi?

You will see 100rwhp on 5psi. Mine went up 101hp and 126ftlbs. That is all stock fuel system and untuned. What are you going to do for your meth tank? I made a small tank to go behind the front air dam. My washer tank runs into the tank below that way I know when I'm low because the low washer fluid light will come on.

From my conversation with them, the Alky is needed more so to make up for tuning. The package is sold as a complete kit, no tuning required. The boost, 8#, would kill a stock timing table, and fuel curve. The alky does cool the charge, but in the STS kit the heated charge is less a factor than traditional turbo setups. The alky provides the high octane charge to keep from detonation. Think thats how it was explained. With a tuning, I am sure you would still run into a problem with the 8#, just not as much, although I am not sure.
I am waiting to see this kit, and its performance.
Good luck.

I installed my kit at STS and the when we filled the meth tank it was 50/50 water and methanol. This is per the designers suggestion to keep the charge air cool. Thats why is half water.

Yeah thats condescending at its best.
YOUR.... Good luck, and please do post up the results. I have been following this kits developlment since its start and I am curious to see the results. Maybe not a full blown turbo kit, but hopefully bridge the gap between the multi-thousand $ kits and the guy that wants a little extra + reliability.

What I mean is that is an entry level kit to get people into boost. I did it with my powerdyne and have no regrets. If you guys think that was condescending, it is only because of your opinion of Powerdynes. A good used powerdyne is still about half of what the STS kit is, so I would personally recommend it over an STS. Of course, either a powerdyne or an STS will just get your boost habit in gear, which is what counts!
By the way SS00Blue, there is a call out post for you over in the grudge race section of Motown Muscle , (surprisingly enough, not started by me either
).

Rightttttt
That was one lame comment, My turbo kit must suck A$$ Because it wasnt $9000+$1500 Install, So i guess i have a low end turbo kit that makes no power, so what makes it like powerdyne 
Bring it on Powerdyne
Best $3400 ever spent on my car
