STS Information and Build Progress http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...7ca41eb4b2e898
I plan on buying the kit i linked above. I'm just wondering minus the fuel management system with injectors and all that jazz, what else am i looking at that i will need to buy to run around 6psi of boost. I already have ls6 intake, P&Ped, and epoxied TB, Crane 1.8 Roller Rockers, Pacecetter Ceramic Coated Headers, 3.73 gears, Custom Full 3" Hooker Exhaust, SLP Lid, and HPTuners, and Quiet a bit of suspention mods, Meth. Injection and Fuel upgrade will also be ordered with the STS Kit.
Rear end and Tranny will be addressed later on this summer but am just wanting to get the turbo setup up and running with a decent tune first, and will probably just run low boost until i can get a better tranny and rear end so i don't risk grenading them early. What all would you guys recommend me do, i don't plan on running 1000rwhp and 40psi. I just want a nice fun car that i can DD that puts down anywhere between 400 and 500rwhp safely and i believe that an STS setup is the road i need to take to achieve this goal. I have the money for the kit, Meth. Injection, and fuel upgrades in my bank account right now, so I'm j ust wanting to get a total of everything else i need before i start the ordering process. Id like to start ordering and searching for parts asap and have the kit installed and tuned by beginning to mid summer. (I already have a LS1tech sponser lined up to tune the car also.)
GO!!!

I have an almost stock 99 LS1 (Soon to be Iron 370) in my IROC with FMIC STS kit on 9PSI and made 450RWHP and 500TQ through a 6 speed. It's mostly a street car I have long tubes but will soon be taking them off for stock shorties which have proven to spool the turbo faster. My rear is still stock with 4.10 (to much gear BTW) and haven't had any problems as long as you don't launch on it to hard. Zombie on here has a great right up on rear mount turbos.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/822122-zombie-rear-mount-turbo-saga.html This is Zombie's thread of his trills and woos and he's been doin it for ahwile. So it doesn't take much to get to the power you want after you get the Kit. The major thing for me was making sure it was safe and getting a good tune.
