I just used the word official because I thought it sounded cool. I didn't mean to imply mine was better than someone elses

I'm anxious to see what this heat wrap does. If it works decently I'll be next in line. When does it go on?

He's having it done tomorrow... I'm also curious if this help on the spool and also if this speed up the Turbo warm up after the car is shutdown for a long time...

Keep us updated with the Testpipe since I'm also curious about that. You already have a HFC so it might not as much of a difference compared to us with Stock CAT. But full boost from 3600-3900 is already good and in line with other ST out there

yeah the spool time is getting better now that i've reallized that the car must be significantly "Warm" for it to spool decently but i would still like to be spooled a little quicker.

I am going to contact CIN about an appointment by the end of the month. I am in Kentucky and I want this kit just because of easy of installation and it's cost effectiveness. I have small power goals. I currently run a 125 of nitrous to achieve 350whp and 422tq and this kit is right up my alley. I am fine with 350whp and 300-350ish tq.

I appreciate all of your honest input and the posting of data that you guys do.

It only took a couple of days to install it but they kept mine a little longer because they wanted to make sure everything was right on it.

If you really want this then they are giving the kit with the old piping (charge pipe on the side) for $5000 but there is only 1-2 kit left for this price.

nah, I know one person got a quote direct from STS headquarter since he's 30mins away for $6200 with install and Tune, then he inquired for just the full kit and was given a price of $4995. I spoke to Vernon about this and he said that price ($5000) is for the old kit and there is only 1-2 left for that price.

But that's with the fuel stuff and UTEC right?

I want a Tuner kit, like the Vortech Tuner kit... All of the vehicle specific parts like piping, without the fuel and tuning parts.

Yeah, I'd want the center pipe kit. I think it would help even with warming up. I am going to call CIN today I guess and get it scheduled. I'll let you know whats going on.

Are you your the 3995 is still a valid price? that's a $1500 difference for just a relocated pipe I know I was quoted 5500 for new piping and 5000 for old piping. If it is valid then someone should go grab that kit right away!!!
