Hammer, thanks for all the info:
How does the STS kit compare to the APS kit? Why did you chose to go with the STS over the APS?
How long have you been pushing 600rwhp on the street? Is your tune safe? how many miles have you put n it since you put the turbos on..
Im sriously considering this on my stock Z! GReat bang for the buck here!

I don't know how many miles I have on the 600 rwhp tune, but I guess it's been about 9 months of weekend beatings.
I see some of the front mounts changing their exhaust and creating more HP, I guess that's another savings for the STS customers (also a limitation of exhaust choice).
You wouldn't regret any of the 3 major TT kits out (STS, TTI, APS).
The company that installed and tuned my setup, Vette Doctors, are doing a ton of APS with great success.

I forgot to talk about the tune.
I never asked the level of tune, but having the Vette Doctors working on my vettes for the last 15 years, I'm confident that it's the proper tune.
I also use torco for safety. I didn't really think that this kind of boost would last on a stock bottom end.

The APS kit wasn't out at the time.

Those are some amazing results for a stock bottom end.
Is your engine completely stock?
I have been watching alot of your posts and was always impressed. It seriously has me thinking about doing this, rather than upgarading to a new/slightly used C6 ZO6. I too would go to ECS or the VEtte doctors.
Which kit (STS/APS) would put out more power on a completely stock C5-ZO6?

Either kit can put more hp to the ground than the stock motor can handle. Once you decide to make the purchase, speak to the tuners you're interested in and see what they think.
