Default STS Turbo System

Hi folk

What do you think about this (if i will buy a 98-02 T/A WS6):

http://www.ststurbo.com/ls1_camaro_dyno

The numbers sounds good but just 1sec faster in the quartermile or is it with the 5Psi Boost? And what if i upgrade this system with all options they offer:

or is modding the LS1 engine with other options (Cam, Gears, full exhaust, Subframe connecters etc. and more) better?

Might get more specific responses from the forced induction forum

But you should always bullet proof your drivetrain first. IMO

We typically see a good solid 1 second increase with 5psi.

It's really an all in one sort of thing if you want best results.. you should have a cam thats made for forced induction, you definately will want a 12bolt rear, depending on the boost you are planning to run forged internals wouldn't be a bad idea either. I would suggest building the drivetrain before the poweradder.. or you might be building the drivetrain when you aren't prepared to do so.
