I posted a comment to that effect last night on You Tube,maybe they will reply, but at this point it's too late for me to bother with them. If you are posting clips of the car speeding around on you tube, you must think the real dyno numbers are too low to "show off"

I've looked through their web site and what dyno data there are on other vehicles looks too good to be true so I will withhold judgment until I see a dyno sheet from another source. The chance that this design works as well as a front mounted unit is slim to none IMO but the real question is exactly how well it does work. I think most people would agree that it would add HP but when and how much are the key.
Another big issue is CARB approval and while it may very well pass I don't see anything on the web site regarding CARB submission. The chance that one would slip by an emissions test tech with no muffler is I suspect hoping for too much. Even if it did they may also get suspicious when no test results show on the left tailpipe.

They may not pursue one due to the costs but it very well could pass just like the two approved superchargers since it would not reduce exhaust gas temps at the cats.

Am I the only one that wasnt impressed? Not trying to be rude but that video didnt answer anything. Just a lil weak drifting and a guy studdering over every word trying to explain his kit.

They're still testing from what I've gathered..........the NC shop that built the drift Mustang on that youtube video, is searching for a Z in the Charlotte area to do testing on as well. I was just told this over the weekend.

So, I say give them more time.

Me....I could care less...I've already decided on my set-up.

New Retail will be set at around $6400 and will include 440cc injectors, Walbro pump and Turbo XS UTEC..We are currently looking for a local NJ car to do one on.

Not a bad price. They shouldn't have let the cat out of the hat too early. This is the usual aftermath. People don't understand R&D takes a few weeks.

He was spitting fuel out like crazy when accelerating, I doubt his setup is even tuned past the stock tune. I dont at all doubt this setup can make ST-like powers. Nor do I doubt a good power curve. I just want to see the goods before i make a final opinion.
My personal belief: two thumbs up.

Still, that costs quite a bit, even with a UTEC . . . . .

Well good luck guys.....when i spoke to STS back in 2004 they wanted to charge me an arm and a leg to protype a kit....glad it took them 3 years to enter a whored and flooded market!
