That will keep the "Ricers" from reving on you.

Oh, I believe that it is installed and running. However, if it were me, I would of had that thing out for a dyno tune and dyno graph the next day... but maybe all are not as impatient as me.

Read this thread:

It contains a lot of information (as well as a lot of opinion)

I have not gotten a chance to dyno/tune yet, even tho at the Koons meet I won 2 dyno pulls
I've put about 800 miles in the last 6 days! I don't want to tune/dyno yet until the ECU learns and the turbos are broken it. I did notice a huge change from day one to day 3! This thing screams! I hope to dyno and tune within the next week or two.

So how does it feel? I know you said it screams but how is the low end torque (some criticized STS for not having much pull at the low end). Can you break the wheels loose in third?

Just trying to judge what a real world experience is relative to what is shown on the STS site.

How long did the install take? Did you just use the predator programming package they supply? That is one disappointing thing about the STS system. Yes you can get the turbos cheaper than MSRP but then there is about 1100 you have to pay for the predator/tuning and injectors that you really need. The APS kit includes the larger injectors, boost pump and base tuning profile for hptuners.

Still really torn on STS, APS or an ECS/ATI Supercharger. Then there is always the Z06 option. I can't make up my mind and probably won't until we get some real world feedback on these TTs.

I would have to say the TQ down low isn't that great. until about 3-3500 then it really starts going. The key is knowing how to drive the car. I agree the STS kit is a little $$ but it really depends on what you want. I think the APS kit is very nice but I didn't feel like putting an extra 10 hours into it they do include the hptuners base file but that means you have to have it prof. installed that's another $2500 inc tuning. So far I've been happy, Brandon and Rick up at STS are awesome!
