Default STS installed. WOW

The kit has been sitting in the living room for about 6-8 weeks. Finally had time to install it yesterday. Big thanks goes out to fellow board member Jerry aka Cabledandit. It took about 10 hours for the install. That included pulling off the old Magnacharger and a short lunch break. Took it to the mufler shop to get the exhaust welded in place first thing this morning. All I can say is wow . It is a bit slow to spool up compared to the supercharger, but once it gets into boost there is no comparison between the two. The lag time should be resolved with some tuning and the 5.7. It is the complete opposite from the supercharger as speed increases it pulls harder. I would highly recommend STS to anyone that is considering spending a few $$$. Also thanks to Billy at TRTturbo for hooking me up with a sweet deal on the kit.

Congrat on the boost. There's no way I could of had that thing sitting on my floor for 6-8 weeks. That would of drove me crazy. Billy's a great guy to deal with.

Sounds great.

What setup are you running? What boost did you run with the magna, vs what are you running now?
