Okay, I need some help. My GOAT was supposed to already have the 455 Bobcat kit installed, but a shortage of headers put it off. Now, STS called me and said they’re almost finished with the 6.0 remote turbo.

So, what would all of you select from the following:

455 Bobcat

STS Turbo

http://www.ls1speed.com/enginepackages.cfm (Prowler 2 Package) Includes:

- AFR 205 CNC Mongoose Heads
- Comp Cam Custom Cam
- ARP Head Studs
- Longtube 304 Stainless Steel Headers
- High Flow Performance Catalytic Converters
- BMR Strut Tower Brace
- BMR Drive Shaft Loop
- Rear Stock Height King Springs
- Rear Koni Adjustable Shocks
- GMM Ripshift
- High Flow Induction Tube
- Professionally Installed and Dynotuned

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response bluebyeu...

The SLP kit I'm looking at is only the following:

- 160º Thermostat (100228)
- High-Flow Air Filter (25013)
- Harmonic Balancer/Under-drive Pulley (100226)
- Long Tube Ceramic Coated Headers w/PowerFlo-X Crossover/High-Flow Cats (30168)
- Loud Mouth II Cat-Back Exhaust System (31560)
- 1.85 Rocker Arm Package (51185)
- SLP Custom PCM Tuning (60060)
- 455 HP Bobcat Fender Badges (pair)

I would never lower the car. The streets of Chicago would eat it up. No dodging potholes after a Chicago winter; the entire street’s a pothole.

That's a hard one... I'd be tempted to go with the 455, but I think I'd wind up with the STS if I had the money. I just like the sound of a turbo though...

Turbo all the way.

I had the 455 kit installed, but I have no idea about the performance or anything else about it for that matter. Steve knows more his shop put it in for me. My mother has driven it with the package she said the power increase is just nasty...... the sound is a lot different as well. but get with GTODEALER he is has seen it first hand.

Nasty - that's the 3rd time I've heard this when describing the 455 kit. GTODEALER Help!!

Mike V, I just responded to your email. It's a bad ass kit for sure, good power, good driveability, fantastic all the way around!:cheers

Well, looks like GTODEALER has made up my mind for me, gotta love that. No need to risk brain strain when you can ask an expert. Still, I’m a little shocked not a single person even showed interest in the 3rd option, which was as follows:

Prowler 2 Package Includes:
- AFR 205 CNC Mongoose Heads
- Comp Cam Custom Cam
- ARP Head Studs
- Longtube 304 Stainless Steel Headers
- High Flow Performance Catalytic Converters
- BMR Strut Tower Brace
- BMR Drive Shaft Loop
- Rear Stock Height King Springs
- Rear Koni Adjustable Shocks
- GMM Ripshift
- High Flow Induction Tube
- Professionally Installed and Dynotuned

Well, thanks everyone for your input. And an extra thanks to GTODEALER. :cheers

Thanks guys, that's what I'm here for!
BTW 707GTOLS2, you'll have to get rid of the catback but not the headers on the STS kit, just ask DFWGTO
