I did a bunch of research on those sts kits here and found that most people here don't have a whole lot of good things to say about them in general. Also it is well known that there are a number of other mods/tuning that are necessary to run a forced induction setup on a vehicle not originally intended for one. I know as I supercharged my truck and have many thousands in extra mods/tuning to get it to run well. You can get away with an otherwise stock vehicle if you run very low boost levels, but those kind of levels are not going to give you much extra power which makes the forced induction kinda pointless.

Forget about headers w/ an STS, they don't work well together.

And yeah... +1 for the search button.
