Re: Rear Turbo Red Z28
pm me which setup you're running on this car. I've heard a few different things and was curious to hear it from you directly...and did you change your number?

i barely broke 408 with heads/cam and tuning.
oh well it may have taken spray but i beat my goal for the year and that was 500.... so when i get the fuel pump in ill see about breaking the 600 RWHP barrier.....
Jeff Creech tuned my car and he is definately excellent! it was a BIG cam for him to tune and took almost all day but got it right in the end. I have no complaints

Re: Rear Turbo Red Z28
i'll tell you what
those STS kits, if those are installed without a tune, you're GUARENTEED to have problems, and on top of that, the a/f is so bad, you only get like 0.1s more in you e.t. i saw this first hand and it sucked for this guy. he was lucky he didnt blow anything! lol
and its sooo ugly only having ONE exhaust tip coming out of a T/A or even a Formula!

I'm just fucking with the car, I like it, but yes, it needs some bugs worked out. Hearing that turbo spool then hearing the wastegate flutter...sounds like sex(well not really, but ya)

Re: Rear Turbo Red Z28
no really, these STS turbo's have been proven to make over 500rwhp at 8lbs. Thats with a correct tune. By I've also seen people who buy it and toss it in there car and do nothing else, and the a/f ratio is sooo bad they only make like 0.1s improvements in the 1/4m. SUcks!

i would think so....but ive heard people claim its not noticeable on the f-bodies...
