This was the first upgrade that I had done, actually. As far as the STS numbers go, I've seen slightly better numbers and slightly worse numbers on this board with other members but I think I was around average overall for the base kit. Oh, and that was also with the cheapie 60-1 turbo. Is that the same one that you use with your base kit or do you also offer upgraded sizes? I'm with you on the curiousity. I wouldnt mind a ride to compare...
Wow so kinda even things out if you want to look at it that way. Our car had more TQ your had more HP, but remember HP is how fast you hit the wall, Torque is how far ya take it with ya Just messing with ya. We used a similar turbo a T61 with 5psi. We do offer upgraded sizes [can be found under forced induction at www.gmrspeed.com]

Leo, on your single kit, without upgrading anything in the kit but the turbo,about how much power can the kit put out safely? Im hearing mixed views from some saying it max's out at 500 ish and anything above that is unsafe even to a forged motor, others saying 700 rwhp is possible with a bigger turbo. So about what can the kit do without upgrading parts besides the turbo? Thanks!
