Default Talk to me about STS Turbos

I'm thinking instead of the usualy cam only car I could go z06 cam and a STS rear mount turbo kit. It breaks conventional turbo laws with being so far back and a lot of my buddys are skeptical of it. I was wondering if any STS owners could talk to me about it and help me clear up any anxietys I have for this as to how it performs on the track/dyno and opposing to using a under the hood turbo. Thanks

Talk to Billy aka trtturbo, www.trtturbo.com
Also there is plenty of info about it in this forum if you do a search on STS.

Good luck.

i wont give my sts speach since you asked for owners only. however i think you will be just as well off not fooling with the cam. let the boost make the hp( I am assuming your plan is under 700rwhp)

I agree if you want under 800 rwhp then go STS

Hit up Billy like stated above... He is in the Dallas area and can sell you the kit, install it, and tune it...

Tell your skeptical friends to read PurEvl's posts or watch my videos.

Thanks for going easy on us MightyMouse.. It's hard seeing big HP guys like you bash us lil STS guys. LOL
