Default STS Turbo

Anyone seen anything on this setup? I saw something on it a friend showed me, it put some good numbers down for a stock LT1. He told me to look into it cause I have mine built up, it would be a better investment than the LSX swap I was looking into.

Never personally seen it but known about it for a long time. Well I saw a lt1 trans am at a meet with one but don't know the kid. The best part about it is the installation. Not very hard to do. Basically a catback install. You save alot of money by installing a STS yourself rather than paying someone to custom make a front mount for ya.

Last Sunday, Horsepower TV on the Spike Network showed an STS twin turbo system installation on a C-5 Corvette. Looks pretty straight forward. The PowerblockTV.com web site suggests they'll be running the episode again this weekend.

If you are running something big, I wouldn't drive it through the rain..
I am at 11:1+ Compression, so that wouldn't really help me, but some people said it would make a bit of an impact over what I have now, seeing how it is setup strong.
