Well the good part is you have the M6. They have the tuning for that. In my case it was trial and error for the AT7. Still haven't heard anything from STS if they have refined the tune for the AT7.

not up to STS for the refine tune for the A7 its uprev.

Are they out of Texas? If I remember correctly the ones doing the tune were out of Texas, but Vernon ended up being the one who fine tuned it. My first run on there tune was only at 389 at 8psi and 335 at 5psi.

those numbers are really low...All my customers were able to pull out over 440whp. Theres something wrong with that tune. There needs to be a custom tuned. Which tune did you use?

The place I found is Murrillo Motorsports out of San Antonio. They're a distributor for STS but mainly for Corvettes. Said they could install and tune in about 2-3 days.

Nahhh...that was the original tune that came from the company out of texas. Vernon helped us get it up 443hp on a semi-warm run. I don't know if it makes a diffrence but they also had left the rain sock on the air filter. So if that has anything negative affects then I'm sure it could be higher on a cold run and with the rain sock off. Don't know. When I get back in town going to take it to another shop and do a quick dyno run.

Thanks for the vid That was great The flutter sounds like a evil Hyena
that or the Z is just laughing at its next victim ! So no cooling issues ,That sounds good to me. The STS system seems like the way to FI in the Z ! what sort of numbers are you putting out (sorry if you been aske a million times ) Patrick

No cooling issues at 65*F, but at 95*f on a summer day i am sure there will be cooling issues unless a oil cooler is installed.

That car already has an oil cooler installed

I am not currently running an oil cooler and I have only had an overheating problem once on a day when it was about 90 degrees. I was driving it pretty hard though and it went into limp mode. When I went to install the oil cooler I have there wasn't enough clearance where the plate goes at the filter due to the intake pipe running in that area. I have put on about 3000 miles on since I've had the kit installed and only had the one occurance. I am currently looking into a filter relocation kit but I'm not sure if I want to go that route. I am also intalling a water/ meth kit and hoping that might help cool a bit as well.

Were did you add the oil cooler? We installed ours remind behind the intercooler...there is tons of room.

What kind of cooler Andrew? Like what brand and how many row

oil cooler! we placed a 25 row on both cars that we installed.

The hottest day I ran it was maybe 84f . No issues I think the hottest it got was around 240, but it was new to me and I was running the hell out of it. Like today it was 55f and took a guy a work with for a ride. Temp never got above 190. That was with several hard boosts from 45 to 140mph ( on a closed track of course. I would never drive that fast on the interstate:tup:)

To be honest I'm unsure. The system was installed when I was out of town but I will see more of it when I get back in town and my new body kit is in.
Hey could you PM me a price on some body kits you sell, like the VIS version of the AMS.

Hey STS won't do it so me and Edub set it up and yes I love to pull up next to cumstang and "laugh" at them. Makes them dip futher in there seats.:bowrofl:
This is unofficial number because for some odd reason the highest numbers we got it didn't read the torque (loose test cable or something) 443hp @ 8psi trq unknown 403.43hp @ 5psi 348.62 trq

The oil cooler wasnt the problem when I put the sandwich plate on for the oil lines at the filter there wasn't enough room to get the filter on due to the intake pipe running in the same area its a matter of about a half inch

Which oil cooler did you go with, I have one I got through stillen maybe the plate at the filter is a bit thinner on yours because the filter is very close to going on.

we went with the stillen oil cooler also. Fits better.

That's the one I have.:tup:

Did the filter go on before the intake pipe was installed? Because it is so close it just doesn't go over the threads, I could always cut the pipe right at that area and add a coupler I guess.

How would HFCS affect a sts setup?

hfc's are fine to run on the setup but TP's would make me sleep better at night in case a cat decided to break apart it would probaly destroy the turbo.

I'm running stock cats and they said its not a problem

Haha... the "not a problem" phrase when selling products...

Expect your cats to burn out and become test pipes.

well that depends really on what our stock cats are made of? are they ceramic cores?

ceramic or not i wouldnt want a cat to explode and kill my turbo...

agreed, but a good hfc shouldnt have that prob. stock may

I would think the pieces would have to be quite large to cause damage, I trust what STS tells me so I'm not gonna worry about it

Just telling you "not a problem" is realistically being lazy and not wanting to tell you the pro's and con's of what to expect.

I would suggest you get a second opinion from another reputable company such as GTM since you wouldn't believe the words from a fellow member.

Plus, any small material flying through the blades of the turbo isn't exactly something you want.

think bird thru jet engine..... :ughdance:

So a test pipe would be the best way to go with a sts system? Might be a problem for those who live in "carb testing " areas . Anybody have to take there system off to pass a emissions ?

carb testing with turbo/sc isnt likely going to pass unless you have a stillen 50card legal system.

I asked STs and Andrew and uam ( who I would of bought the test pipes from ) even he said no even tho he coulda made money off me . That's 2 sources telling me it's fine, I hate the sound of test pipes and want cats. And I'm pretty sure towers runs cats correct me if I'm wrong towers

get ART pipes and problem solved...

i thought no matter what, "some" material does burn/break off the HFC's core. it might not be much but some does come off......no?

Why would you ask GTM about a product that is not there's? Of course there are going to have there input in there about a competitors kit.
Have a questions call Vernon or Rick at STS. This setup is different compared to other kits.

I'm running with the stock...no changes there. At the same I'm looking at tearing the system out. It's not that I don't like it, I'm just gonna buy a manual and found a low mileage 40th for a good price. Now just to get it back to stock.

part out? lol (^^^)
