    Has anyone ever seen or heard of a STS kit on a big block truck? i want a lot more power and i figured i got enough torque now i want top end and that cool turbo sound. Its kind of an odd application for a turbo so i was just seeing what everyone else thinks... thanks!

    Subscribed... I had just told my wife last night that I wonder what kind of HP and Torque a 454 would make with a turbo installed. I'd be interested to see that!

    I have really wanted one of these turbo systems on my 6.0, they are awesome. Check out their website I'm sure somebody has done it.

    well i guess i have to shell out more for college than i originally planned. It looks like forced induction will just have to wait a little bit longer. Being a full time student leaves you no room to keep tricking out your truck!
