Thanks for looking, I think I am going to get them, just for insurance reasons and i'll already be there.
I need to know about cams, whats a good turbo cam. I know it dont usually go together but is there any that have some lope that will also work well?

I should have fleshed that out a bit. Hurting N/A power will of course equate to lower power when you are boosted. But it won't be enough to notice, and the lower compression, even if it is a half a point, will be worth it.
If you are looking for a cheap drop in cam the Z06 one is popular, otherwise I think a custom spec'd one is a good investment for $200 more.

Yes, I had to put a check valve in the return oil line, I still have a problem with it smoking some but I am going to shirk up the feed line and see if that helps then to restrictions.

Oh I pushed my 42lb injectors to 110% duty cycle for 607RWHP... But could run with a decent A/F 535RWHP. I thought you were going for 800? If your shooting for 600 you should be fine with 60's.
there a little place you tap into right above the oil filter for your oil supply, then you run a 4an line to the turbo (same as a nitrous line) then make sure you use a restrictor of some kind to limit the amount of oil going into the turbo (you can use a nitrous jet) then you need an electric oil pump to pump the oil back to the car, you can run it back in through the valve cover, or tap into the oil pan.. i did all this for my sts setup up.. btw i think engine gear was who makes the pump.. sts dosent make their own they just put a sticker on someone elses product
That might be the case with the supplied turbo from sts, but when you put a diff turbo you might run into this. I had the 67mm turbo from sts and it wrked fine the way it was, but when I upgraded to a 76mm I needed to restrict the oil more because I was getting lots oil in my pipes. Once I did that no problems. This is on a single turbo system as well witch needs less oil flow than the corvette twin system. Just my .02

True, and some ppl dont need restriction, but I cant afford to scrap a brand new turbo just to see if another one dont need one. I dont have the money to keep spending over again. Thanks for the kind words on making over 500.
Ohh and I have another update .. I just bought a 12 Bolt!!
so that might put some of the other work off for a few weeks, but I think it will be worth it in the end

I know what your saying but I obviously do NEED one like a lot of other people to keep it from over filling the turbo, and I run an even better pump then the STS kit comes with.
