STS Turbo on carbed 350

Has anyone put an STS turbo on a carbed 350? I am looking into building some more hp and the rear mount STS seems to be a good way to go.

Re: STS Turbo on carbed 350

I have never seen or played with a carbed 350 version in a truck...

I have played with and driven a cammed 6 speed F-Body with a kit. Honestly I wasn't impressed at all with the system in a manual car. It seemed to build boost high in the rpm range and really lagged down low.

The car made good power on the dyno (450 rwhp if I remember correctly) but felt like ass on the street. I think the system can work with a auto equipped vehicle with a big stall converter to get you over the dead spot.

Its not a set it an forget it kit like the maggie I had on my vette.

I'm also not a fan of the turbo/filter placement but thats a different issue....
