If you ask me, the STS kit is a lot safer to run, way easier to install and I can vouch for the AWESOME power the kit makes.
I can vouch for the low IAT's on my truck. Sometimes they get high in traffic, but its never really that bad. I really enjoy the power my kit makes and is going to make on my truck

that is true about the oil pump issue. the guy that owned this before me had problems with the STS oil pump until he upgraded, and I have yet to have any problems with it on my truck *knock on wood*
