Thats exactly why I bought the built tranny before the turbo.

If you got a built tranny, Then what are you waiting for, crank up the psi. LOL
I'm very happy with my STS kit aswell.
What Meth kit you going with?

How is the lag with these turbos? I remember the first time I saw these turos was on another sight and they got flamed bad. It seems kinda inefficieng to have to fill that long *** tube back to the engine up with air to make boost.......


but obviously its working.

Hopefully the 5.7 will be going in in about 2 months. Hoping to crank the boost up to 13 psi.

It does have a fair amount of lag. Which is not to bad considering I have the upgraded turbo. Tuning helped alot with the lag. Once the 5.7 goes in, the lag should be reduced even more.
