Check the STS site under customers. you will see my setup on there. also do a search of this site looking for my name and you will get some awnsers. A read mount can only take you so far with the little motor. Some day I will have to go front mount.

What are your goals for the truck? I'd recomend going around a 67-70mm turbo if you're going front mount.

Check Livernois for a quality front mount kit.
