Have you personally tried the kit?? If not stop dissin **** you dont even know about. Im sick and tired of people doing that!

From what I have seen from people on here and from first hand experience the STS is an EXCELLENT kit for those who just a fun street car...you keep the engine bay clutter free and heat free, you keep all your stock stuff (AC,PS, No relocating the alternator, Manifolds) but sacrafice ground clearance and some spool time.

Then you got the ol tired and true procharger setup...either way go Im sure you will enjoy the car....and fixin all the **** the breaks along with it

Both are fun, both have drawbacks. Probably the best thing about the STS is kicking the crap out of idiots that think it is junk.

I would say go with STS kit, i have it and like it alot, i would suggest the 67 kit instead of the 60(like i have) if u wanna more power but its fun and about this quote above me, i think this guy has the right to his opinion but in my mind his opinion is way wrong...

QFT!

Check your budget as both make great power, one does have 2x the piping which means 2x the install as far as cost and problems. If you can afford it, then turbo. Procharger makes great power for the money IMO.

If I was starting over I'd take a hard look at the APS kit. It looks real nice and is reasonable.

In all honesty people that talk **** about the STS have never had the STS. These people go by what they heard.

Procharger for the win!

Turbo for an all out race car. Procharger if you want something fairly low maintenence and can make a TON of power still. STS if you wanna add a lil power and brag about having a turbo. STS is not the way to go if you want to make over 550 RWHP in my opinon.

Here is an Camaro SS that we built with an STS turbo system. I really don't care to do another one, we had our share of problems with the kit.

Check out this kit that I have put together. I have many cars with ATI ProChargers shown in the project car section of my website. I would go with either an ATI ProCharger or an APS turbo system. Either way will make a lot of power. Bob

Off topic: I'll be ordering the tranny within a week from you. I am just waiting on my mechanic to come back from vacation so that he can sign for it.
