I say 12.8

But it's just a guess

Maybe 12.8 with the bolt-ons and before the turbo. I'm going to say somewhere in the 11s with good traction. I'd like to see about 500 rear wheel.

Here are some more pictures of the install. You can see the sock that protects the filter -

Looks decent. Appears that STS is going in the right direction. Only thing I've noticed is that the STS Turbo cars are running like Supras and the ET's are falling short of the cars potential.

Im still worried about the filter on the rear end of the car.... :o How much more is a traditional turbo setup for a GTO?

I havn't seen a traditional turbo setup on a GTO yet, so this is pretty much the only one available, but there are a number of superchargers.

The only gripe I have about this kit is that it changes your dual exhaust into a single y-pipe design like the old fbodies had. That and It would look pretty nasty on an 05 rear end.

Nice! What are you doing for traction?

I am also worried about the filter in the rear, that sock is going to have to be cleaned frequently.

Also, that atmosphere dump on the wastegate is going to be really loud.

What psi are you running? By what rpm do you get full spool by?

What would it run with just turbo
