**chromeplease** · 02-18-2007, 01:58 PM

I have a 98 Z car and it is a automatic. I'm looking for some feedback from anyone who has or knows of some one with a STS Turbo on there F body.
My concern is Turbo lag. Thanks!

from what i've heard there is not much turbo lag at all, me i dont have an auto, and i dont have a turbo

hey i just finished installing my sts kit and i cant feel any lag at all. i installed an edge 3500 stall converter, pro products intake, 42 pound injectors, chemcool methanol injection and a nelson performance tuned pcm. next week is headers,y-pipe and the rear gears. but so far ive smoked an built evo,a twin turbo g35 (aka new skyline) and new vette (not zo6). if you have any questions pm me.

dam, wait till u get them headers on there thats another 40 RWHP cuz u got a turbo

I heard that header are not good for sts kits because they dont help the turbo spool, Just wrap your Y-pipe all the way to your turbo

headers and sts are a no no

**kracee1** · 02-20-2007, 09:15 AM

hmm is it because they disapate heat to fast or something? but i need the y pipe for sure right?

**Empatho** · 02-20-2007, 12:05 PM

yea im doing the same project but forging pistons, and rods...so that way i can run 12psi to the engine. The sts dealer out of utah said headers are a waste of time, if you dont have a intercooler get it!!! Car im doing this on is a 2000 ram air, AUTO ALL THE WAY.....it's only the best!!! GL with the rest....and go whoop on some import A$$. HEHE

i have it on a 2000 silverado and i have to say before the stall conv it laged of the start a bit but catch up was not hard at all .i mean i still have a stock motor with injectors a fuel pump and i am pushing 13 pounds and stomping any car so far but a bad asss mach 1 and a z06 (beatup on any other vette)but as far as lag being an issue its not!
