Really like the fact that there isn't but a handful of ST of this caliber. You thought about running a open dump? Good luck to you?

allow me to ask, but i was told the aps st kit is better for making power than the TN kit... is there not a better single kit than out there than the TN that would have been easier to make this 500whp out of?

I hope my project inspires some of the TN's guys to build and stop switching out to TT's.
Now it's time to work on the looks.

Those are some awesome numbers! It's amazing it took so long for someone with a TN kit to use the right components...head work. The FCON doesn't hurt either.
Maybe we will stop seeing so many ST owners switching to TT.

500WHP Turbonetics.
I'm seriously considering this setup with the water line & Bearing upgrade, ac line, GTM turbo spec Cams and Vpro and a tune from Sam. George can we discuss a quote?
