STS F-Bodies in the 10's I was just reading a thread that got locked that was asking about performance from an STS kit versus .... Well I can tell you that my 99 SS consistently ran high 10's at about 128-129. Stock motor, z06 cam,ls6 intake, 3500 vig, stock 10 bolt with 3.23's, and drag radials. Oh yeah, that was also on a mail order tune. I'm sure there are others doing as well with a stock setup, just not posting. My new sts setup, 370 iron, has only been to the quarter once but managed a best of 10.62 @ 135. I'm sure it's got quite a bit left in it but not sure how many more chances I'll get to push the sts setup before the twins arrive. :judge: Here's a video from about a year and a half ago. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/...C42F1992B34.htm |
what size turbo are you running? Also where are you shifting? I have 3.42 gears in my car and im having trouble making it down the 1/4 in 3rd gear.. 67 seems to do better with 10psi however. i just raised it and it pulls past 6000 now fine. So ill have to go try that out. |
Not STS, but a custom rear mount setup, 10.54 @ 129.75. There is another custom rear mount here in town that does 10.20 @ 133. I'm hoping to crack 9's in Vegas later this year when it cools off, I'm now trapping mid 130's in summer. |

So ill have to go try that out. As for gear, I've still got the stock 3.23's. If you have a good converter you can try changing the tranny settings so that the converter will lock in 3rd around 5800 or so. I know that my car really went flat above 6000. This might give you a little more room to play. |
What are the details on the 370 build? That sounds familiar!! I kind of ran out of time and dough to finish the fuel system of all things, so I can only get away with 5 psi for now. But I'm hoping to finish this thing in the next few months. The car was trapping 119 on the stock block, and a really crappy tune, so I'm hoping to be into the 130's at least. And, I need to learn how to launch this 6 spd a little better too. |
