Interesting mod
I've been thinking what my next mod is going to be and I think I fuond it even though it's not "conventional". I expect it to add bout 90-150 hp extra.
I"m going to get an electric leaf blower and hook it up up-wind of the STS. It will simplyl hook up to the battery and then to a switch in the cab. The idea is that it'll help feed the hair-dryer more air, and so the turbo will be more efficienet and will spool faster.
Of course i'll take it to a shop to have em do this since it's not worth my time to do any of the mods myself.
Here's the rundown:
STS kit = about $3500: 750 hp at 9 psi
Electric leaf blowr = about $$60: extra 90-150 hp
----------
Nearly 900 hp for just under 3600 dollars.
Now how many H/C guys say they can make that much HP for that little money? All I want is for you guys to see that an STS with a little inginuity can be way better than having to do engine mods and get lousy gas mileage in the process.

SERIOUSLY though!!! One year at the street races I seen a guy with a mazda miata that did that, made his car faster but dont know how much faster but the dumbass was driving without a hood because the thing wouldnt fit under it LMFAO. Wish I had pics.

Seriously, am I the only one in here who can think outside the box?! I already got the blower and it says 170 mph on the box so ya, what do you think it will do? So if it can blow it that fast I did some rough calculations and realized thats just a little less than what the hairdrier's putting out, and much less than the hot air you guys are blowing out. BOOM HEADSHOT!
Those of you who don't get it can think of it as an air supply for the air supply. Plus my tuning place said they'd hook it all up for $650, which is a deal, IMO.
