Rich, sounds like you've got the "go ahead" to me

If you're gonna do it, now's the time.

**Rich Z** · 09-01-2006, 09:16 PM

Yeah, she told me to go ahead and do it, but don't do like I did with my speaker system for my home theater setup. Bought speakers, found better ones, then bought even better ones. So we have several sets of speaker sitting in the dining room.

She's afraid of my now having superchargers sitting all over the place.

So I'm still doing research on what I think is the *best* for me. Meaning stock lower end and rest of the drivetrain. If I wind up having to replace ANYTHING because of damage caused by the supercharger, I will be living the rest of my life under the weight of untold "I told you so" looks...

You know, I am thinking harder and harder about the STS rear mounted twin turbos lately. Everything has some drawbacks, but all things considered, this one may be the one with the least amount of them as far as I am concerned.

Doesn't appear to really be a perfect product out there, I guess. My biggest problem is going to be finding someone to install it. Sure wish there was someone within an hour's drive time...........

Rich, if you go back to the Carlisle pictures that I posted, one of them was a C6 convertible with the STS Twin Turbo setup. This thing was really nice looking!

I've been trying to find some videos so I can HEAR what they sound like. I may have a line on getting the STS kit at a pretty good price. Installation is going to be another issue. But I do worry about the intercooler thing sitting in front of the radiator. But seems that ALL of the FI options have that to deal with. Just seems to me that ANYTHING blocking the radiator is just not a good idea.

OK, I am a hair's breadth from pulling the trigger on a STS twin turbo system. If anyone needs to stop me, NOW is the time....

frc tom and anti venom did a tune and install of this system tom might be a good one to ask about it. also cajundude has one from the other site he can tell you quite a bit more about them also. frc tom might even have one on his car now.

Honestly, I have been trying to reach Greg at Anti Venom for days now with no luck whatsoever, and just today sent Tom an email. I guess I should call them, but heck, I figure if they are too busy to answer emails, answering the phone can't be all that much better.

And I just happen to prefer emails because it keeps notes right there online for me about a conversation. The older I get, the more I appreciate that capability that email gives me.

Rich,

This might change your mind.

The TT is bad a$$$.
For the price I would get another motorcycle, but if you've got the cash then TT all the way.
