STS turbo
Hi, I'm Alex, new to this forum. I just spent like an hour doing research on the STS turbo and I am basically sold on it. If any body has one installed on their Hemi I would love to hear about it. I have an 04 QC hemi sport. The only mods are AIRAID intake, Magnaflow exhaust and a hypertach power programmer. It's a big purchase so I would love to get as much info a possible before I go ahead and get it. THANK YOU!!!

RE: STS turbo
I don't get it, why would tuning it be hard?? there is not a lot of boost so as long as you have eonough fuel/ fuel pressure and a strong enough spark, there should not be a problem. I figure taking the hypertech program out and leaving it stock would be the only thing necessary. I had a 95' mustang. I installed a supercharger that put out 11 pounds of boost and all I had to do was put in another fuel pump, bigger injectors and an MSD ignition with boost retard. That along with the headers and exhaust that I already had and oh yeah, I had the mass airflow sensor calibrated to the injectors. months later I had brought the car to Steeda in Florida because I was in the area and they dyno'd it at 382 HP. they told me that I had done everything right for what I had. They couldn't tune it to get anymore power.

srt10kllr is the member to contact. he has an sts system that makes his truck QUICK!!! He knows exactly what he's doing so talk to him. Maybe send him a PM rather than waiting for him to show up. Good luck dude, keep us posted.

There is now a tuning solution for the Hemi so shoot me an email at jxv254@yahoo.com
I also have a kit for sale if anyone is interested. I got 413rwhp at 7 lbs of boost on a second gear pull.

SRT10KLLR sells the tuning kits for the Hemi and he has some used sts kits for sale much cheaper than new.
I have the sts setup and made 429rwhp at 7.5lbs of boost. I now run 8.5-9lbs.
Tuning an older stang and tuning one of these chrysler pcm trucks is 2 different animals.
I am an sts dealer, so if you are looking for new, contact me. But I'd jump on one of srt10kllr's kits while he still has em.

Tuning is easy if you understand exactly what you're doing. We have some base tunes that you can pick from that will help get the ball rolling. A scanner that monitors fuel trims will get you tuned a whole lot quicker.
I have a 6000# 4x4 QC with 92# aftermarket wheels. This is a video with only 6psi of boost using the base T60-1 turbo punching it from a dead stop at idle. I upgraded to the GT67 turbo about a month ago. But this video matched with the mods in my signature is the base turbo setup. Again, 6000# truck at only 6psi. Notice it shifts into 2nd, back to 1st, and back to 2nd gear and still hits 60 pretty easily/quick.
