Seems to me like most of us STS guys like to help eachother out and often trade info back and forth. If you end up with the STS kit and run into trouble just know that there are lot of wonderful people around here that are willing to help you out with advice.
I have really liked what I have saw so far. I finished a high compresion 382 but it never got to see time between the fenderwalls of a car before I had a career change and expensive move. But now I looking to go turbo all the way, but i want the STS setup but with a turbo capable of 13-15 psi without stretching the turbo's effective range to the max, so I'm thinking the 67 trim is out but also thinking the 76 is bigger than I want, plus I am torn on staying with an aluminum block and stock displacement put forged parts, or going all out with a big inch iron block. I def want north of 600hp on pump gas. and done right I know its very obtainable. Opinions on displacement would be great

PS sorry didn't intenionally mean to steal the thread

With the smaller ci, you could use the GT-67. I should be good for 700. If you go with the 422, I would go with the Gt-70. Either will do the 13 - 15 psi you want.

UPS sonofabitch always leaves the package in front of my house after ONE knock on the door. they don't wait for someone to come out (my mother is retired) to pick it up and sign for it. i could lose computer equipment, carparts, all sorts of **** this way.

i'm glad there's a couple of new players like DHL, etc.

also the US Post Office sent my sold HPP3 from the East to West coast within 2.5 days priority mail for only $4.73 and it was delivered on Saturday. just an FYI.

Chock up another one for the Useless Package Stealers. These guys are showing themselves losers more and more... They stole a 6 foot length of 3" mandrel bent SS tube from me.

Congrats on the new mod... and props to STS.

thanks man, I really don't see how its possible to lose some of this stuff. I just don't see how a 100 pound package thats atleast 5 feet long just gets up and runs away. It's not an envelope with a cd in it. It's a 100 pound turbo kit ...

I fabed up the reg cab kit for STS. Took a few pictures and sent to them. After about a week of so had the coated pipe sent out to me and now the reg cab kit is available. They dont sit around. They get the job done. I am very pleased with there service.
