The STS rear mounted turbo system has been around for a while. I'd like to know what power gains are available for the 5.0 and 6.2 as compared to a similar priced supercharger system.

I've worked on two STS equipped cars and I'm not impressed with their product or rear mount turbo setups in general. Stick with the supercharger idea IMO

I've done one on a vette before. Wasn't to bad of a kit. My concern on a truck would be the turbos mounted under the truck as well as the air filters. This makes any off roaming a no go at all. Oil lines become extremely long etc..

I wouldn't do it on these truck. Stick with a whipple and you will be extremely happy.Had one on my 03 cobra and loved it. Instant power across the board.
