I got a bone stock C6 with STS kit with 11 pounds of boost making 591 wrhp and 541 fpt. What is everyone doing about the oiling system and if anyone has done a turbo upgrade such as GT35R's.
Also I am about to do front and rear coilovers and wandering what is the best for quarter mile. I just broke my fully built RPM rearend and getting a stronger one built. I actually cracked the case due to pos. Stock axles survived. Coilovers should help prevent wheel hop.
If I could get any help I would greatly appreciate it.
I have the Pfadt coilovers, and they have completely eliminated wheel hop at any time on the street. I have not been to the track to test them yet, but I'm confident it will hold true there. The coilovers are probably my favorite upgrade yet. Better handling and WAAAAAY better ride at the same time over my stock Z51 suspension. No more "floatiness" either. Highly recommended.
I also had Cartek convert my rear to a C5 rear. You my want to explore that option before spending the money on a built C6 rear.

Thanks for the advice. I am ordering them Monday. Whats there site?
I still need help with the oiling system for this kit. I am shooting for the 800 rwhp range and the idea of pumping oil from the fron to the back doesnt sound to safe on 2 turbos that are about 1400.00 each

We have spent a ton of time on C5's and C6's with an STS kit and have built the two fastest unmodified STS kit cars to date, both in the mid nines. If you are planning on making that kind of power I would suggest talking to the guys at STS and getting one of their higher output oil pumps and wire it direct 12 volts rather than threw that elaborate wiring harness.
The turbo upgrade will help spool time, just make sure you size them correctly to your engine combo.

Thanks for the advice. Another option we were considering is doing a cell in the trunk and running a pump directly from the cell to the turbos. I dont know if anyone has thought of that or not. I just hope I dont have to replace another rearend.

There has been a few guys that have done that already on the custom rear mount installs, seams to be working well for them.
