Default hey STS guys

looking back at your kits.. do u think someone could piece together one easily? We have a ton of mandrel bends here, a buddy of mine is a great welder and knows alot about turbo builds. 5psi is all i would run until id get a IC. fuel and tune would be the biggest tasks IMO.

I remember those days.... 11 psi later...

Easy to make yes, just gotta find a pump that works good. I would not take on the task without some experience though.

I had mine custom built with stainless steel..Just ran the pipes next to the subframes..that way I can have subframe connectors....with the STS kit you cannot have subframe connectors.

I have my FC's too.
69 Bird, I like both...the CAS is a pain in the *** to work around an install but made ripping power, but had some creep due to design
The rears are easy to work on and create alot, and I mean alot, od parking lot talk and peopel on their knees. I wish more chicks came out to the "lot" on those late nights out. The power seems excellent, but Im awaiting a final tune.. I can tell you I make about 475-500 ftlbs tq at just over 4200 rpm at 7.5 lbs boost... then she runs into some tuning issues (car is sitting on dyno tonight).


I change every year, problem is I get too busy to complete it till Late Aggust each year and never have much road time here in NY.
I will sell this kit and pick another for next year.

Thanks guys!

Still unsure on power, have some tuning issues between 4200 and 5k rpm at WOT......checking mechanical/electrical. I can tell you it makes excellent power based on a few pulls that have been forced to the 6200k range, but were not counting anything till the tune is finalized. We havent pushed it above 8 lbs yet either....and we hoping to reach 15, which is where I began to knock on pump gas with the CAS set up .
We did all the work here, between friends (Redline and Master-Kraft). I did the basic design, Master-Kraft did some nice welding, and Redline Motorsports in Schenectady has a fresh dyno dynamics.
Value, No idea...I will sell it for about $4500 when the time comes. It should bolt right on most F-bodies with minor adjustment/crossover dependant.

On the turbos...K&N cones, since I only drive on weekend nice nights I never had a concern like some did about heavy rain or puddles. Not sure if that would ever be an issue.
