well it was a ace hole crook that i bought it from in texas, since then ive put over 5k in it, but yah thats my car, i had it re tuned an dynoed. its runnin at 470rwhp an 510rwtq. i about got every thing straightin out an all the buggs work out. its basically a sts setup on a 2000ls1 motor, 42-50 injectors,flowtecheaders, an 373gears.
well as soonn as i bought the car the turbo that was on it was a 67mm with no oil going to it, thats why it lock up, i put a 76mm on it now an im running 7psi, untill i get my bottom end forge.
not sure exact what he had in the video, but i know he set it up poorly, hell the first week i had the car the turbo lock up on it, then i went to get it tune, an it woundnt tune right. all i know is he told me abunch of lies, so who nows. even the guys from sts said that the guy i bought the car from was a dooshbag. but at least i know what ive got done to it.

know im pretty sure that would be the car i have, i could be wrong, but how many black sts transam with stock chrome wheels, name matt an live in texas where an the same name of the guy i bought the ta off of. also do you see the smoke(oil) coming off the back of it, that because he didnt install the oil line correctly. from when i first bought the car to now, id say its fast an more reliable after i had to go back an fix everything he fock up installing it. thanks for the compliment even tho thats not me racing, but as for the car its the same,but runs alot better.

STS calling previous owners douchebags, but they are selling rear mounted setups..hmm. Carry on.
why do you say that
Most owners (TRT and EPP ect as well) are starting to see better results with either stock manifolds or shorties that are wrapped (and if possible) ported. LTs dissapate heat and turbo also needs the pressure as well as velocity which a long header will help flow well on an N/A supercharger car but will hinder spool. Not to mention stock manifolds are strong and can take the heat. IIRC, the best setup is a ported set with wrap or insulation (or both maybe). Ive heard painting the wrap also helps seal it from water which is what leads to them cracking and rust
