Hats off to Rx Performance!

Well as some of you have read from numerous posts I have submitted on Camaro5, that my STS single turbo kit was plagued with way to many issues to list over and over again.

So I am giving thanks to Tracy, Alex, Mark and Karen of Rx Performance! You have truly fixed all of my issues and wish I would have went to you all when I first started out modding.

Though 5 days being 5 days, they got everything done from suspension issues, re-doing the exhaust, finalizing the meth kit, body work of side vents and a new hood to installing my new Borg Warner EFR turbo. The only thing left is to dyno tune and I will post the final results within the next 6 weeks.

I can't believe how responsive the turbo is and I am amazed that there is zero turbo lag what so ever! Truly puts you back in the seat!! Thank you Rx for doing and being everything you said you were!

Build thread to follow after the dyno tune...

Thank You Gents,

It is so nice to finally have a working system (ultimately a bad design by STS). I should have went to Rx months ago!! No oiling issues, the motor runs so much better and I can't wait to dial in the dyno tune. The current power is unbelievable and no Sh_t puts you back in the seat!! The suspension is like the rails of a roller coaster and the new glasspack muffler purrs like a lion! Thankfully there are performace shops like Rx that want to excell in all facets!!! A+ in my book!!

Great to hear, I'm about to send my baby down to Tracy to receive the RX treatment.

A little nervous as the car only has 8k miles but glad you've had a great experience.

Glad you got everything worked out. You'll love the EFR, it is an amazing turbo.

Great job RX and Tracy!

I've only dealt with Karen over there and I agree. You have a mean set up there.

Yep she sure is mean right now. Absolutely amazing power, it takes so little to get the turbo to spool and start producing boost. I can't even imagine how much better it will be once she gets dyno tuned!!

All I can say is Rx Performance is outstanding!! Second to none!

I haven't been on Camaro5 in ages. I too have had nothing but issues with my STS setup. It's quite a coincidence that you sent your car to Tracy. I'm actually headed out there tomorrow for him to fix my setup. I am happy that you had good results. I'm hoping for the same.
