When did you make full boost?


And how much did the kit cost you total.

Full boost is usually between 2800-3500 depending on weather conditions. I'm a dealer for the STS kits. So my cost is less then retail.

Honestly, dynoing now will give you the best results. The air is cold and humidity is down this time of the year.

Call STS and they will get you in touch with the dealer nearest you. That way, you will have a source to install the kit or help if you have any questions.

I also would suggest working with someone who is close to you. It isn't very cool when a dealer sells you a kit across the country and that person has questions or problems. It can be really disappointing to get the kit and not be able to get it installed or install it and have it run crappy because who ever you got the kit from didn't take the time to ask the million questions that needed to be asked. Most of our dealers will drive out and help you if you are having problems on the install.
If you're somewhere where we don't have a dealer yet call us at STS and we will put you in touch with a dealer who is doing a great job and who will take the time to make sure your car is done right. I think most us would pay a little more for a STS dealer that hooked you up with everything you needed so you could have your kit installed and your car running perfectly in one Saturday.
Your spending the big bucks to buy a kit, you might as well spend an extra $100-200 and have someone there who will take the time to make sure your car is working awesome. Here at STS we're running out of time to spend hours with you guys and your installations.
