JAMEST

Hell, I keep up with stock GT's with my HHR SS, and my truck eats Mustangs, even when modded! Smoke his ass! Jamest

What happened?

Sorry.

That happened to mine, twice. It ended up blowing oil thru my motor twice. The pump is not sealed and when it gets wet the bearings will rust. I found out the hard way. You can spray them down with battery terminal spray to seal the bottom end of the pump housing.

Yes. They make a silicone spray, DEI, that I sprayed the pipe with first so it doesn't rust then the wrap and then spray the wrap to water proof it. Wear gloves and a long sleeve shirt when you put it on, b/c it is fiberglass material. A tip I found out, was to wet the wrap before you put it on so the fibers don't get all over you. Ask Ducky(David), he did his I think? He has my old STS system on his truck now. You could try wrapping from the turbo back to the cats, if you have them, first. That might be all you need?

Man you never give up? I thought this was water under the bridge? I/m sure you help out a lot of people, but you sure are showing your age right now. Sorry if pissed you off, I was just giving the advice to someone you know, because I think that is the advice you gave me a long time ago? Or was it TRT that gave me the advice, I don't know, it was so long ago when I had the STS. Good Luck. Jamest

You can run stock. I run the super vic jr with the edlbrock elbow and 90mm tb

I told you the other night at the meet, to wrap the piping all the way to the turbo. That's how I got mine to run good! As far as tune, I have no info. Your truck sounds like it runs well!

Yea! He's getting his core back.

According to LS1truck.com he is not telling the whole story? I tried to get him his core back and I get put down for trying to help? Danny, I think you just want to stir up trouble. I know money is very tight these days, but to down someone's business is stupid. I'm sure there are some trans. out there that you have built that have taken a shit, but no one is bashing your business for it. Useless and Done!

I have one. They are awesome. Try allen Nelson Nelsonperformance.com I had the STS and it was good, but I think the Trick is better. I run a turbonetics T76 and the power is great! Jamest

How about the new Trick turbo system? I love mine and it runs verrry Good! Jamest

That's funny, Mine never gets over 177 - 179 on the water temps and the under hood temps are the same as with the STS Turbo? My intake temps are also the same. I guess its just a matter of opinion. I like my Trick system a lot better than the STS. The STS was a good system, I just hated that the pump went out and blew oil all thru the motor twice. Anything can go wrong with any system, Turbo can lock up, a Supercharger can lock up, they both push compressed air which equals heat, a SC belt can break, and the ultimate you can blow the motor up. jamest

I am running a T-76 on my 6.0L. That turbo you have mentioned will be too small, the intake side is too small. I have a .96 on the exhaust side and .76 on the intake and it runn very well. Good luck on your project!

I run a 220/220 .581/.581 on a 115 and it runs well under boost. This cam gave my motor a lot of top end and has the grunt down low when boost kicks in. How big is your motor? Jamest

Rick I have the stock gm E fans right now. I will see how they perform first. They were cheap, so I thoght I would try them first. If they don't I will be looking you up. The Trick turbo is awesome. I have a wider power band and the turbo spools up so much faster than the STS. I have yet to run it down the 1320 or the dyno. I'd say 100 more hp with your system. Thanks for asking. Jamest

I was thinking the same thing. I still have the stock one. It has very god driving manners right now. At a 30 punch, the tires break loose at 5 psi. I am running 10 psi on the high setting. At 12 psi I am running out of fuel, so I need a bigger Pump. Jamest

I am running close to that with a stock 6.oL with 10 psi ,a Trick Turbo, of course at the crank.

I didn't get it dynoed yet, but it does run a lot better than the STS. Pulls very hard at low rpms. The STS would hit in at 2600-3000rpms, too high for me, I like a little more spool down low.

That is sweet! Congrats. Button up that trans, or your gonna need a new one. Good Numbers. Jamest

Pics http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/pics-videos...ing-closer.html Should be all together now. I pick it up Sat from Allen Nelson, Nelson Performance.

I'll post some pictures when I get the truck back.

Car craft has an issue were they made 500 hp on a setup like yours. I think its the may issue. LQ4 L92 heads and l76 intake. I think they went carb on that motor. You can do it.

Top quality system. It does it well. And it will support 1000 hp on a well built motor. I went with the Turbonetics T-76 turbo. I can get 15-25 psi out of it, but my motor won't handle it. I have it set at 12psi. I have searched and the pipng is top quality as well as the welding. I got mine hotcoated for extra security. I will let you know how it runs when I pick it up this weekend.

That's great. Allen Nelson has the truck right now and he says its a beast. I ran the STS for a while and decided to go Trick. I ran a 13.4 on the STS and now I should be in the 12' for sure. There is a regular cab from the Texas Valley running a setup just like mine running 11.5's in the quarter on a stock 6.oL and Z06 cam, with no traction, which is the same problem I have. Also my truck is a 3/4 ton = heavy a** truck. Thanks for the info.
