I saw that last night, I wonder how much a really big puddle of water will affect the kit?

 

I guess if you're not a member you can't see the pics

Anyway I watched one of the shows on Speedvision install a setup like this on a F-body and it performed good. I like the concept but I always wondered about the lag. Can you bring the pics over here?

Thanks Mike

 

Hope this works...

 

 

 

Hmm - nice looking kit. I wonder why have the compressors all the way at the rear bumper and then run it back up to the engine?

That would be the reason why.

 

I would think that this system isn't ideal. Wouldn't there be a decent lag time from all the plumbing?

 

Hope that's got a forged bottom end..........................otherwise BANG!!!

 

At 7psi, I would say its safer that most supercharger systems out there which have to run 9-10psi to make as much power as this system.

If you read their website they say that their isn't much lag.

 

The only drawback I can see is that you wouldn't be able to drive in the rain becasue of where the filters sit.

However, they could make some modifications to it e.g. a shield, or a bypass system like some import CAI's use.

 

Looks like the have a cover for the filter.


Some pretty impressive numbers though.

STS is a ripoff

 

Please explain?

 

I call B.S. on the lack of lag.
Coming from the world of turbos in my previous car, any increase to the volume of the system is going to create some lag. Here, you have six or eight feet per side of 3" tubing. When the turbo isn't spooled up, the air in the system will be at atmospheric pressure. When the turbo begins to spool, it has to compress that volume of air before you begin to feel the effects of positive boost. No way does that system not generate extra lag.

And why the heck would anyone want their air filters mounted behind the rear tires a few inches off the ground???

 

I second that it's grade school level science that tells you this thing will take forever to make boost

 

Just about the time I think I have seen it all something new pops up.
