I was one of the test kits. It has been on my daily driven Z for the last year and last night I rolled over 25k miles on the kit and to date havent had any maitence what so ever other than cleaning the airfilter a few times which has taken no more than 5 minutes.

I beat on my car pretty hard and havent had ANY PROBLEMS....

Its tuned by Jeremy at PF and made 400whp on his dyno at 10 pounds.


For anyone double thinking about the STS kit its a great kit and I couldnt be happier with my choice.

 

I'll vouch for Jon's driving habits. Everytime I'm in the car with him, it's full boost wherever we go. The car has had NO issues at all.

 

Damn, nice! And you don't have any issues driving in rain at all? I was considering this kit, but went Vortech instead.

Oh...and PICS?!

 

 

I had only one problem when I drove it in the rain that was like the 2nd day I got the car. CIN Motorsports moved my air filter and havent had one problem since.

Oh and if you ever need anything done to your car CIN Motorsports is the place to go. There customer service is better than the great work they do there.

 

stock motor? im making 405 whp with a vortech and stock motor. just wondering how much people beat on their stock motor with over 400 whp. so, stock motor?

 

Yes he's running the stock motor. The only other mod besides the STS kit is invidia test pipes.

 

Looking good man!

 

But he also has over 390 TQ. You can't compare the abuse a 400whp SC and a 400whp Turbo. Either way, good for your Teg. I only have 10K miles since I don't drive my car daily and never had a down time (Crossing my finger)

 

I've personally abused Teg's car and I absolutely love it.

 

i know that. thats awesome its holding up just fine for you. i guess i shouldnt be so nervous when beating on my car. glad the STS kit is rockin for ya. congrats!

do you have a dyno chart? i'd just like to see your power band and tq curve.

 

 

We all know there are a lot of drama happened on the main STS thread but I'm really amazed how this kit has performed reliably. To date I haven't heard any failing part on this kit. I think the key thing is that all of us tester had a good shop worked on our cars. Let us not forget to give thanks to the shop like MRC (NY testers) and CinMotorsports (NC testers). To bad MRC has separated ties with STS.

 

thats amazing...Im still in awe how you're at 400hp, drive the sh*t outta it and no issues whatsoever! btw, what year and what miles do you have on your Z?

edit: also what Engine Management system are you using?

 

The car is an 03. The turbo kit was installed by CIN Motorsports last May with 20k miles on it and the car crossed 45k last night.

The car is running UTEC and was tuned by Jeremy at Performance Factory.

 

man thats an awesome power curve. congrats. what do your a/f's look like?

 

Last time I datalogged which was when it was colder out. I was running somewhat rich. It was running low 11's across the board. I need to go out sometime this week and check them to make sure they still look good.

 

That's a very convincing sales pitch.

 

very nice. low 11s seems like a safe place to be for you. what are you tuning/monitoring/datalogging with?

 

We are currently testing some new stuff from STS on a customer car. Results should be released end of may/early june.
