STS F-Bodies in the 10's
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. 
Here's a video from about a year and a half ago.

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.

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.
