Default STS Questions
Would an STS kit be worth it? how much boost could a stock ls1 handle? How long would the engine last? i realize the tranny would probably be the first to go but im not worried about that. thoughts comments suggestions are all welcome. Thanks!

STS is good for decent power, i make decent HP with my STS but i really dislike the clearence issues, and to be honest i dislike how u have all that piping but otherwise, if u do it right and get it tuned and such u will make power. A ls1 stock can handle 7-8 psi, i run 5-6 in my car to be safe. but if u want a turbo car and dont have the money for a front turbo, go STS.

There's ~500rwhp STS cars on here running 5psi, I wouldn't call that a turd.

there was something wrong with the car you raced then if a bolt on car was keepin up. you can make 400 to the wheels with no prob. You can make high numbers with it if you want.
