STS Twin Turbos

Man, I'm getting excited about this! Should have it delivered mid next week and I have already spoken to Greg at Anti Venom about doing the install for me. He says no sweat working it into the schedule. So I have to figure out when the wife and I can drive down there to drop off the Z and leave it :eek: for a week. Greg says he wants a few days to fine tune the tuning to have it PERFECT for me when I drive it back home.

Probably the most difficult thing is going to be driving home and trying to keep from losing Connie in the rear view mirror as I "play" with the go pedal a bit. :hehehe:

I feel just like a kid with Christmas time just a week away........
 
If you can get your hands on the June 2006 edition (Vol. 30 No.6, it has an excellent article about Gregg @ AntiVenom installing a twin turbo STS system on a drop top (Z06 spec) C5:thumbsup:

Over 500hp on pump gas and 600 with the Methanol injection:thumbsup:

If you don't have it or can't find it on the web, I'll make copies and send them you you....worth the read:thumbsup:

:banghead: Damn Swammy! I got to tell you everything?:rofl1:

Sorry...Vette Magazine:thumbsup:

LIke I said, I can make color copies and send them to you if you like?
 
I've got a few issues of Vette magazine laying around here, so I have to see if I have that issue.

Not sure when I will be having the install done (is Anti Venom in Seffner? Their site is down so I can't check it.), so will be playing this by ear. Probably will be real short notice, however, depending on what their workload is like. I'm guessing I will need to drop it off on a Monday morning and hopefully pick it up the following Friday evening or Saturday morning.

The guy was supposed to ship out the STS kit today, but I don't see any UPS tracking info from him. I'm in Florence, SC tonight on the way to Maryland, and of course I don't have his email address on the laptop. :(

Hmm, I think I have his PM on CorvetteForum, so maybe I can send him a memory jogger that way.........

UPS tracking numbers says this stuff will be here TOMORROW! But I still need to wait on the twin tip upgraded tail pipes before I can schedule the install............... :toetap05:
 
Well well..... UPS delivered a box today and it contained those awaited tail pipes. Darn tips on them are HUGE! So, if the STS kit shows up tomorrow as planned, and we can get things caught up from being away all weekend, I can see about arranging the install on this stuff. Leaving the car for a week is going to be tough enough, but can you imagine the restaint I am going to have to exercise with the wife following me home after the install in the Astro van (or maybe her Silverado) so I don't lose her? :ack2:

Let's see some pics of the tips!

Ahh, what are you worried about leaving the car for the week? You only go to the Post office!!! :lmao:

Let's plan a little gathering. We'll get Shadow on it, or perhaps if we can ever get a hold of Pewter99. He was at the Dimmitt show this weekend but I didn't know who he was. Saw his beautiful ride though.

Top priority right now is getting things back in shape after being up in Maryland all weekend. Then I want to get the STS kit installed. Their warranty period starts when it is SHIPPED, not when it is INSTALLED.

Sales have been good with the critters, so the workload is beginning to fizzle out somewhat. Probably by the first of October, I'll be out of the woods and ready to take some trips to meet up with you guys. The wife is looking forward to getting the heck away from here for FUN as well.

And the reason I don't want to leave the Z for a week is simple: I will MISS it! I won't be able to look at it each day. I was going through withdrawals when I was away this past weekend... :ack2:
 
It's here!!!!!!!

UPS unloaded these three big boxes...

The largest of the boxes contained most of the hard pipes for the install...

The other cardboard box contained the "twins" and all of the other hardware needed...

I didn't bother to open the wooden crate, which contained the intercooler.


Here's a pic of the "business end" of one of the turbos...

And lastly, the Twin Tip exhaust pipe upgrade...

Those tips are roughly a half inch larger in diameter than the stock tips, from eyeballing them.

Anyway, it's just like Christmas time in September here! I'm going to be on pins and needles until I get this installed. Now all I have to figure out is WHEN I actually can do that....... :ack2:
 
OK! Just talked to Greg at AntiVenom and I'm scheduled to bring the Z in for him to start work on the install for October 2. Probably will drop it off either the Saturday or Sunday prior. Then picking it up the following weekend.
