sts worth it?
 

i have an 04 gmc sierra ecsb with the 5.3
is the stock STS kit worth the money on a stock truck
does it give it a good kick in the pants feel?
i sold my 400 rwhp z28 over the winter now im getting the bug for some power and the truck is my daily and i was toying with trading it on a corvette or gto but im almost done paying it off and im sick of payments thanks for any help

Sweet tat
I dont know if there as reliable as a truck with a stock turbo like a diesel.
And I do wonder about what all that water that comes out of your tailpipe, does to a rear mt turbo.
Almost 2 cents worth.

how about the vortech supercharger?

Yes its worth it.

I would take an STS kit over everything currently on the market after the way it has performed for me.

what kind of power is it making on a stock motor with the base kit

Do a search on mjhoward. He has a base kit on a stock 5.3.

thanks
how bad are they on the tranny?

A typical 5.3 with the base STS will pick up around 100 to 125 rwhp. The kits are very expandable and as quicksilverado can attest, can perform their ass off. I have been selling the kits for a couple of years, and so far have not had any issue will condensation in the exhaust.

whats the base kit cost?
