I have added some updated pics of the finished SS kit on the prototype. We are going to tweak things a little more with my car. Higher boost, upgraded turbos and a more aggressive tune. We will have final results after SEMA. Stay tuned

I am going to guess 560 RWHP for a final number on the standard kit...but as it has been said, there will be other things to show after SEMA.

We are working close with STS on the development of our new project car, so there will be soem awesome STS cars out there very soon.....if I did not have the utmost confidence in their products I would not be using it on my personal car!!

The first production run STS Twin Turbo SS kit installation will be completed tomorrow morning. We are expecting 620 to 650 RWHP running 8.7lbs . We wont be able to get dyno numbers until after SEMA. I will post them as soon as we get back. Stay tuned

Make the same length tube bigger in diameter and the energy needed to fill the extra space is created. Pressure is pressure when it comes to length..not so much when it comes to diameters
all you guys are talking pressure vs flow. It is not harder for an air compressor (supercharger or turbocharger) to fill a 2 inch pipe over a 4 inch pipe. Turbos do not seem to mind small tubing like 2 inch pipes. Centrifugal superchargers like a Paxton, Vortech or ProCharger work best witht he biggest dia. pipe they can fit. In a perfect work bigger pipe is better turbo or supercharger - turbo are just less finiky with small pipe
