The turbo plan is still full speed ahead. There is one little bump in the road, but it is a good bump. I wanted to get some feedback from you guys. I might have an opportunity to put an STS kit on the truck opposed to a custom kit that we are fabbing. Would you guys rather see a STS kit go on the truck or a custom fabricated kit? I spent time talking to the folks at STS today and I think they are interested in becoming a sponsor. What are your thoughts?

 

Are you sure they said they would "sponsor" you, or just be enlightened about your feedback on it?

 

sts!....

 

If I work with them they want me to use their entire kit. Absolutely none of the stuff I already bought would be used. They said sponsor, which considering I have 90% of the stuff I need, it would have to be a very good offer to entice me to switch gears

 

From personal experience: STS can be very motivating

They are also an extremely helpful company and individuals. I'd buy from STS all over again (and have twice). There are a few other companies I can say that about (FLT, Vinci, WCCH, Speartech to name a few).

More about STS: I have called Dave's cell phone on the weekends to leave voice mail and he picked up (not to mention the time I called him at 9:30am EST... DOH!!), and talked to Rick Squires many times after hours. You can't beat these guys to work with IMO. They are busier than one legged men in an *** kicking contest, but I tell you they always always always take care of me like I'm their only/biggest customer.

 

Being a dealer for STS, I have had nothing but great success and help from them as well. I have a few customers however that have had other thoughts- one such customer in my shop right now wanting to be the first F-body in the 9s on a STS kit. He said he called STS to get some help on some 3" charge pipe bending and STS offered no help or even ideas to get rolling..

 

Well folks I am going to link them up to this thread and let them see the comments. I appreciate those of you that are following the build. I am going to continue to work on the truck until we get it into the 11's as planned. All of your comments help. Thanks for your support

 

Speaking from experience, if you want 11s, the STS kit is easily capable of that. Like others have said. The STS guys have great customer service.

 

I have a custom turbo kit on my 4.8 joe gibbs I am very happy with the kit, i am getting 526 rwhp 498 rwtq so i can only speak for the custom turbo it was worth it for me
