E85 tune and fuel lobe upgrade alone would net very similar gains as the s1 cams with fuel lobe uograd (on the stix turbo)

Okay thank you. Then no s1 cams for me. Just the fuel lobe upgrade

Powell has these

Rotated mounts from powell would be my reccomendation over just firmer inserted mounts.

Rotation changes the alignment of the axle to help with wheel hop (the trans killer)

With a boost ramp or a bigger, and subsequently slower spooling turbo.

In my area, having a k04 on 22.5 psi is plenty to beat most of the cars around town. Big turbos on the lnf just seem to be for dyno numbers. But in all honesty I feel all the "usable" power for the street can be accomplished with the stock turbo.
Now on the other hand, if u plan on track days or roll racing past 130 mph then yeah I would say a larger turbo is for you. Remember though this is just my opinion. Hope no one takes it to heart.

This.

Some people can hit 12's with GMS1. Some ZFR owners are still in the 13's or low 14's.

Then get stage 1 powell mounts it includes a spacer for the rear mount. Also get powell/ottp control arm bushings. I got mine in the mail right now lol I got th s1 mount but notice alittle wheel hop still looked and my cab is starting to tear on the driver side the other side isn't fair behind. Stock cabs are a big reason for wheel hop they are junk.

The how to powell did makes it easy when ur under the car it's like 7 bolts. You losses the rear then only take out the stock front then tighten every thing up in order he says it in. I got the mounts tight the set the car on the ground when I tightened the motor mount down. Powell says to do this also. But I don't think that's in the how to.

U can still break other stuff then the trans that's like that's on the list to be worried about haha

Some cars when going full E can't handle it and that's when you need the cam. It all depends on the circumstances. It's not a guaranteed yes or no though. Definitely worth it when running Full E

true. If you need it get it, but I don't see paying that much for stage 1 cams and staying on the stock turbo. when that k04r (I'm hoping) puts out decent numbers that will probably make more power the s1 cams on the stocker k04 and I think the prices is about the same. But if that goes well then stage 1 cams for sure with the k04r lol they can get broke in while waiting for a bigturbo/tranny set up this winter😆

Yeah it did to me too but ez pz when u have your phone lol crack some bolts insert spacer take out front mount put the new 1 in. Tighten everything up. Took me like an hour took my time made sure to torque everything right and it lined up and went in smooth.Your cars behavior changes and it feels more solid taking off.

You would have to do a double clutch rev match to see any benefit.
