THere are a couple. One is partial sponsorship of a Silverado SS. So far at 10psi in a 5600lb truck its at 7.35 1/8 mile. We are gonna get it in the 6's.
The other is my old '92 GMC Sierra. It has a forged 347, Patriot heads, built 4L60 ( may go th-400 with a brake), Vig 3200, our own turbo cam, Victor Jr. PT-74 mounted in the bed. We are planning on 15psi and 10's out of it. I'll pass on info as it comes.

What do you mean dynomax? They make a specific I-pipe for turbo applications? or are you referring to just plain straight pipe and having it reshaped for the car?

the Dynomax 2 piece I pipe is great for mounting the STS. I puts the turbo higher than normal.

The only thing i didht like about the sts kit was that i had 2 cut out 1 of my frame connetors...But i welded the 1 tube in its place hope that works...I put the kit in alone it was easy step by step...The ground clear. was a little low, so i put spring bags in the back and a 28in. drag radial...Needed it any way had no trac. Jeffboy757 yes the pipe is 2.5in

Mine is 2.75" and it reduces down to 2.5". The stock exhaust coming over the axle is 2.5". I thought it was best not to use 3" due to it affecting velocity and spool?
