I'm at about 700-900ft and I'm shooting for at least 8psi and at higher elevation your car can't breathe as well. I had just gotten back from working in Wyoming and my work truck was acting like it smoked 10 packs of cigarettes a day. So I know at my elevations I should see better numbers.
It's the guys at executive performance in Meriam,KS they were the only ones with 2 states that were STS certified. The main cost was I got the ball bearing upgrade, coated turbo, oil cooler, boost controller with methanol injection, & gauges. They only charged me $1200 for the install but for all the problems that this build has given them I threw them an extra $500 for the fact that they have tried to keep me happy and the quality on the worked done.

No the initial dyno was around 298hp, but the it was also being done in a hurry since they still had to finish the methanol.

The beautifully tuned exhaust note from an STS Remote-Mount Turbo System is sure to put a grin on your face as you flyby all those other imports."

We shall see. They also posted that with the methanol injection system you should see up a 100hp increase but that was also on a Z06 corvette. So far I've read a lot and seen a ton of dyno sheets but I'm from the "Show-Me" state. I won't believe it until I see those kinds of numbers.

Exactly I want to see it before I believe it or spend thousands on it. That's just a quote I took from their site, I'd really like to see some graphs.

I will try to post the specs by Tuesday or Wednesday by the latest. Taking it to the drag strip on Wednesday to see what it will do in to 1/4mile.

Well the methanol is being used to only cool the engine. So it's not creating that much horepower because the tank is small and if I try to use for HP I will have to always keep an eye on it or it will do damage to your engine. Better safe than sorry. The numbers right now are @ 5psi 403hp and @ 8psi it's 438hp but he left the rain sock on the air filter so there is another 5-10 more hp and STS has a new cable to tune it in while it's on the dyno. So that being said one last try in 2 weeks but right now it's breaking loose when I punch it through 4th. I will try to upload the photos tomorrow(dyno sheet).
This is just the start for her...looking into bumping it up from the 3700cc to a 4150cc...another $2300 plus labor.

Loud....Very Loud. To the point of when the BOV's go off people on the sidewalks jump and look around like someone had takin a shot at them. Sounds great going under bridges or through tunnels. I've gotten some many thumbs up and people taking either pics or videos since it was installed.

Videos are a must man, post them up!

If I could ever get the guys who installed mine I would but it's been like pulling teeth and I've got a misfire on cylinder 1 but he said it was the coil pack.

So I take it your luck with this kit has not been good?
