The car trapped 116mph on Wednesday night, so there's no doubt this STS car is pretty quick!
Did he trapped with his old setup before PF get to re-tune his car?
Nice to see some trap speed. I missed the Domestic Vs Import today at E-Town. I was so curious what will be my trap and if the Rear-Mount can actually perform in a 1/4 mile setup. I know in the freeway it is quick but don't know if the small lag in first will hurt the time. Do you have any Dyno and 1/4 mile time?

TN customer service not only exists but has gotten high regard in the community.
and this is only one kit, plenty of others out there. though they will be a little pricier, its well worth it considering what you get with the STS. not trying to bash any owners of the STS, just my take on it

You guys can bash all you want and you don't have to buy the kit. All I can say that all current owners are all happy or at least satisfied with the kit. Now that PF has proven that this kit can produce power in the same level as other ST kit out there, then STS should be given credit for building a unique and reliable kit.All tester here have their car for over 6-10 months and so far no problem with the Turbo or any part of the kit.

I have been boosted for almost a year now with the sts kit...I have rarely driven my car lately but during the time of boost i managed to do 15K miles on the car. It is a unique system. They sell universal kits all the time....they just recently sold 2 kits to crossfire owners 
My next car whether it be a viper, corvette, escalade ext...etc will get the STS treatment

Keep us updated. I was under the impression that they refunded you your $$$.

So you're saying your 355 whp would have kept up with his 409 whp? Or were these videos before the 409 whp tune?

/\ +1 From a Roll, STS should be on it's power band. I don't think your 355whp on a G35 can keep up with 409whp 350Z (and that is with tires spinning right?). I know he used to run around 36Xwhp before the tune.

I went to the track on Wendesday and ran a 12.4 @ 116mph with a only a 2.0 60' on 265/45/18 BFG DRs...I know I can't launch

I just got off the phone with Bill a couple of hours ago and it seems that there are two cars that broke into the 400+ one was jons of course and there is another one.
Also the intercooler is almost complete should be done in the next couple of days it sounded like.

Not sure what kind of Testpipe and Y-pipe the STS car is running. Maybe the diameter is hurting him more and that is why he's not hitting full boost at 3rd gear.

Well you need to even the playing ground so up your boost to 10psi and you'll probably win
