so your comparing your nitrous gutted pig (3450 is gutted sodont say its not) to a street car with stock motor on a turbo? As for your moronic 2.4 60' the cars stock would 60 better then that so how the **** would it get slower. You need to read what you post...your making yourself look like a **** waffle assgrape. No one really gives a flying fart what your car does at the track..most dont take it serious like you. So do us a favor dicksock....go troll elsewhere. Or come to hudson massachusetts so i can powerbomb you on the hood of your super fast shitbird. Have a nice day cumcrumpet.


Ps..im trying new words today, thanks for helping

If you consider me telling you the setup of the car and how it runs then I guess those are excuses

Just remember that your car ran your times at your track, bring it to vegas and watch it lose .4-5 seconds and 4 mph LOL

Someone I know from vegas moved to texas and went from running 13.0's in vegas to 12.3's in TX. We just had a guy move here from South Carolina. I talked to him at the track, he was trying to figure out what was wrong with his car. It ran 13.2's there and was running 13.9-14.0's here LOL

PurEvl... heel boy, heel!

V6Bird, you really should quit trolling STS threads since all you do in them is spew your ignorance.

I guess i'll chim in quick with my noobish .02.... STS kit... of the research and just ing around here It's apparent pushing gases to a turbo 12ft back is well less than the most efficent way... if they were just as or more efficent i'm sure Subaru and every other factory turbo car would have them... they are easier to install... they make maintance under the hood more friendly.. there is less compromise on a/c etc... but the reality is they are not the same... It's like an LT1 vs LS1.. the math and all the number points to the LS1 to be superior... It's just that way... it's better... by no means is the LT1 junk but it does and will always have the disadvantage... its the same way the STS system.. yes it works and has proven gains.. but no way is that set up going to out perform the same set up with less piping.. the science works against it... So the STS does and will always have a disadvantage..


So inconclusion the STS IMO is a great set up, it's cheap and its easy to install and with a larger turbo and a great tune can produce mass HP/TQ. Also in my IMO if you are looking to have a DD the STS makes for a boost for little dollar....

bwaaaahahahahahahahah.....**** waffle assgrape?!?!?!?! That is by far the funniest thing I may have ever heard. When I went to login I started typing that in the login bank.

On a more serious note, Purevl your numbers are impressive. I haven't seen that many on an STS with those numbers, but I have only been doing some research on the kit for a short amount of time. What exactly does your setup consist of? I have considered maybe purchasing this kit in the future, but I don't plan on stopping at 500rwhp and I need to have a good plan before I start throwing money everywhere. It would also give me hp #s and expenses for this kit to compare to other setups.

How many times do I need to tell you that ive witnessed these cars first hand that 60 ft those ETs dead hooking with turbo lag all the way to 250ft out!!!!! I cant help it if you cant ingest it. Take your finger out of your *** and listen. One was a stock 6 speed car and the other was a built 408 AUTO car. He ended up running a decent time down track but didnt boost until well after 60 ft after the 60 ft marker! 3450 isnt gutted...stock carpet, panels, etc. rear seats are removed and alot of lightweight suspension stuff.

The only change that you could make that would matter would be larger N2O jets Other than that you WILL run slower by quite a bit. I think the only slower track than us is bandemier, but I could be wrong. Our DA is almost always above 4500 and i've seen as high as 7500 a few times. I don't even go to the track that often and I know twice i've seen 7000+ DA

Turbo lag... Can some help explain what is the cause and effect of turbo lag... I could but i think coming from some one else would make a bigger impact..

People refer to lag in 2 ways unfortunately. The true definition is the time it takes to see positive manifold pressure.

Most people consider it the time until you reach full boost. Lag will vary depending on many many things, load and turbo size being the main two. Temp affects it as well. It takes me 300 rpms longer to reach full boost now that the temps here are 110+

V6 Bird, why do you feel the need to keep coming in here and talking smack? Seriously no one gives a rat's *** what you run. I know I don't and I started the thread. If you want to argue with people start your own thread. Your input in this thread has been about as useful as a soup sandwich.

I really appreciate everyone elses opinions though. And someone (probably many pages ago) hit the nail right on the head. I am wanting something for my DAILY DRIVER. I don't want to hit 200mph, or run 9's in the 1/4. I want something that is reliable, and makes the car more fun to drive.
