Yes. It's all in a safe tune though. If you don't tune it, you lose it!

depending on your mileage, make sure your PCV system is in good shape by your local installer/tuner. Also, you will need fuel mods if you're on the stock pump/injectors. Get ready to start blowing clutches and have some fun.

AND GET THE FMIC.

Do you have longtubes? If so, you are going to want to shield them from your charge tube and get some type of intercooling. My IATs were through the roof at the end of a dyno pull on only 5psi.

I'm also thinking of an STS down the road. I have a 1999 WS6 and thought I read that 98 and 99's have larger injectors... is this true and if so does it mean we would just have to update to a higher volume fuel pump?

Thanks
Shawn

its true 98's have 28# injectors i believe but thats still not enough for what you wanna do,you need at least 42#ers.if youre planning on getting a forged motor at some point go ahead and get 60#ers to take like easier when the time comes.

Whatever you do, get some good injectors that are at least 42lb'ers. My tuner wasn't familiar with the ones (42lb disc type) that came with the kit. He was able to deal with it, but said that the other type are more commonly used. You will need a fuel pump or boost-a-pump at least as the boost is pushed past 5psi. I am currently using a boost-a-pump up to 8psi with race gas to make up for the high IATs. When I get an intercooler, which you really want with this kit, I will put a fuel pump in, some good 60lb'ers and a new tune.

i met some guy last nite with an futural f14 cam, full bolt ons, and stock internals with an sts. but man his car pulled good. he just told me to get a really good tune. and im also gonna get the kit with the intercooler to be on the safer side, with 60lbs inj. and a better pump.

As far as running an Intercooler with this system is it possible to have an Intercooler setup similar to the Twin Flow Procharger setup? Just curious

If you have welding skills or know someone to do it, anything is possible.
