If someone finds a good graph that shows a power curve comparison post it up and i'll add it to the first post.

As I posted before, It's nice to have some numbers and graphs to look at when deciding on a power plant. Graph obviously helps out best so you can see where you want your power.

Personally I'm all for the Spools.

BTW
"Orem, Utah November 2, 2007 – Squires Turbo Systems, Inc; announces the world wide release of their twin turbo kit for the 2006 and 2007 C6 Z06 Corvette. Initial dyno numbers show the STS twin turbo kit capable of taking the stock 7.0L LS7 from 505 HP to 700 HP at 7 pounds of boost. The exceptional characteristics of the STS remote mount turbo system produce smooth and consistent horse power and torque all the way through the 7000 RPM redline."
"Drive around in boost all day?" I'm not sure what you're talking about, but my vacuum guage reads real similar to my son's vacuum guage on his Trick turbo setup. About 10 to 12" at cruise.
