Your retarded. PSI is PSI, no matter how, when and where it gets there, it's still going to be an issue on stock parts. The "tune" is your BEST freind here.

hey **** factory, it wasn't about stock bottom end it was about the fact that they were bitchin about boost delivery. i was sayin that in low boost applications (i.e. stock bottom end) it would perform ok for most people. learn to read you *****!

You can't talk about performance, untill you do some performance on the vette of yours pal! Quit going to them DAMN strip bars, and put that money into that car.

Thank you needed some support!

Not "crazy" horsepower, but ~1200 wheel horsepower in a street car isn't bad.
I remember reading that article, I like that it looks so beat up. There are clubs of guys who put brand new paint on their vehicles but it looks " distressed" Not my thing but Cool for others.
I love the look of the inline sixxer classic. You ever see one of those hanging from a tree?

True, but Vortech will tell you you can use stock all day long with their kit and no problems, bolt on 8 hours all included down to the wire ties.
I think it depends what it is your looking for, all out race car probly not the best choice.

Damn i can't say much then either, but it has been on a dyno. I love strip clubs too. More than I should really. I think I got a skin irritation from the seats at one, but ther's no shortage of pennicilin so I'm still going. LOL LOL LOL

**** factory, that's genius.

STS kits aren't junk, but they're definitely not optimal. Heat is lost from the exhaust (turbos, unlike everything else under your hood, LIKE heat, or, better put, the velocity that comes with that heat), lots of pipe to compress, most of which does a poor job of heat dissipation vs. an intercooler (so you're compressing lots of volume, but you aren't making optimal use of that volume for cooling). Low turbo = easy damage. Loss of ground clearance, yada yada...

Not saying you can't do it, it's just not really the best mouse trap, assuming a front mount kit is possible.

Just imagine if one of those oil lines busted while doing a run. Say good bye turbo!

Yeah, but that can happen with an underhood turbo too. The STS should be just as safe, if the lines are laid out well.

Hong Kong Phooey's car is badass, but the same parts would make more power, more efficiently if the turbo was on the right end of the car. I'd still drive it though.

I'm mainly talking about how far away the oil line has to run just to oil the turbo. How quick would that drain the engine of the oil? I guess it depends on the size of the leak.

sts kits are ok for the guy that wants to make 450 to 500 horse but best bet is a front mount kit some nice kits out there that let you keep your ac KY turbo is doing a keep the ac kit for the f bodys im pretty sure if you talk to josh he can hook up a vette as well.

Does JPH really own a cockfactory?

As fas as STS, when modified they are bad ***. There is a C5 full weight coupe, complete street car, 4L80E, 402Ls2, etc that runs 8.8 at 158. They can be badass when done right. the front mount kits seem better overall to me too though.

Does anybody have the bracket that holds the throttle cable and bolts to the intake manifold? Of all the stupid little parts I have 5-10 of, I do NOT have one of those... LOL.

Speaking of oil line busting.....


excerpt: twin cities.com

Winona school bus catches fire after hitting deer
Associated Press

Article Last Updated: 12/16/2008 11:27:32 AM CST


WINONA, Minn. — Witnesses say a school bus carrying about two dozen Winona Middle School basketball players was on fire Friday evening as it drove toward a middle school, where it burst into flames in the parking lot.

No one was hurt.

Bob Koch of Minnesota City Bus Service, which owns the bus, says the driver hit a deer and didn't stop. The animal got caught under the bus and may have broken an oil line.

Winona firefighter John Yackel says witnesses reported seeing the bus "burning" while traveling down the road toward the middle school.

However, Koch says the driver didn't know there was a problem until he was about a block from the school. He says he pulled into the parking lot and immediately evacuated the bus.

A coach ran inside to grab fire extinguishers while others called 911. Assistant Fire Chief Jim Multhaup says the bus was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.

Koch says no one should be blamed for the "freak accident."


Wow!!!
