There is a guy in my home town that is a sts dealer and he made a single turbo sts for his c5.It has a 408 with a t76 with no intercooler and he made 750rwhp on 15 psi.So it should work good.

Well, make fun as you like I have a stock (for now) 346ci F-body with 7psi using a GT76 and the thing makes peak boost by 3400 and that is with a stick shift, untuned with no tricks!! The car makes HUGE power for 7psi, I have not had time to dyno it yet but it does better than my 100 shot thats for sure! I would say the kit will work VERY well with twins and make great power. Can't wait to see the numbers and more importantly the track times! Good job STS as usual.

I would like to see it on the ground. Hard to tell from these pics but it looks like you would hardly see anything at all.

How about you calculate the volume of 40 feet of 2" pipe and compare this to the flow capabilities of a pair of midsize turbos. You might be surprised how little time it will take to compress this volume.

Hey Jammer, How does your car run? Do you have any dyno or track numbers?

Thanks

That kit looks clean. I would like to see a vid and hear how it sounds. Would also like to see some numbers and some street fly bys. And price.

I dislike the entire concept. However, I bet it will make some nice power!

I've got something else up my sleeve

It's the placement of the turbos that I don't like...for many reasons. It's just my personal preference though so no big deal. We've seen that they make nice power.

I know what you mean, I'm a "traditional" turbo guy too.

Twin blowers maybe?
