What this kit has been out for over a year!! I had them for over a year and not a single problem except the regular maintenance which is regular oil change and cleaning the air filter every 8 months.

No way... they have to really go lay down the floor and stick their head under to see it.

Here is an update for interested parties.

We have some issues with a few of the parts included with the kit and they are being resolved as I write this. The car is running properly but not up to the standards that we are happy with.

We are in contact with STS almost daily. The customer is driving the car but it is coming back in next week to continue tweaking and to swap out a few parts which may allow the car to reach its performance potential.

Thanks for the interest and I will post changes as they happen.
Stay boosted,

Forbes

When everything is resolved and we are happy with the results I will post all issues and what we did to remedy the situation along with all the dyno graphs along the way.

We are waiting on STS. There are multiple issues that need to be sorted out by them and they are not paying us to do their R&D so we need to see what they come up with to resolve the issues.

The customer is driving the car currently. It runs fine but it does not make the power that it is supposed to. We want this finalized just as much as the customer and everyone here.

Updates as they happen....

Are there any details on this you are wiling to share? The description of your situation seems to mimic that of others, and I am wondering if there is any mutual benefit that can be gained from sharing information. PM me if necessary. Thanks.
