who is TRT ? I just got my STS kit done and love it.
no offense but ur numbers are low for sts and u have meth to. my maggie puts more out without meth, might wanna check on a new tune man, u got way more potential in that system
sts give you great bang for your buck... My kit has held up awsome. I've had no broken parts or issues. I put down almost 500 rwhp on 9 psi with my baseline hp at 305. but by far the best part about the kit is the sound

Damn!!!! $500 for misc lines and fittings? Are these hand crafted by Moses himself?
Had the STS, tuned by Formato and there was only two good things I can say. I loved the sound and I loved when I got that pos off my car. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Better setup might cost more but you'll get what you pay for. This really is an old thread lol.
custom built a rear mount for my car and love it so far, had oil return problem, but pump went bad. shit happens, To each there own theres always something bigger and badder out there. Just ask ls1gto theyll let you know.
More than a few, and more than a few front mount kits, and just about everything in between. Actually STS and TRT have sent a few guys directly to me for tuning. I am not saying that a rear mount doesn't work or always has problems because they do work and many are trouble free. I am just giving real world facts and information without bias and there is simply no disputing that a rear mount setup is going to have more lag than a comparable front mount. "Physically" it's impossible for it not to and real world testing backs up the math.
Go ahead and post up your combination and a dyno chart of your properly tuned and engineered rear mount.
OOOPS bringing back an old thread, better yet heres a video:
