Default APS TT GTO You Fbody guys are gonna love APS

Hello guys I am fairly new to LS1 tech but thought I would say a few words about APS. I have a 05 GTO with there kit and am absolutely amazed at the top qaulity of there stuff, the fit and finish is second to none. I have had the kit on my car for over 16000 miles now with 0 issues with the kit. I have had clutch problems, a couple of burned plug wires and have spent a small fortune in driveline upgrades. My biggest hurdle with the kit has been building a fuel system to support the power it makes.

Here is a link to my Dyno from yesterday 4 pulls 14psi, 15psi and 16psi I have Patriot 72cc heads and a LPE GT2-3 cam and head studs stock LS2 shortblock I have made over 600 for about a year now. I am getting ready to do a forged engine so I thought I would push it a little just to see what I could get out of it. The new F body kit will have bigger turbos with even more power potential, Oh ya these #s are through stock mufflers with full 3 inch piping leading to the mufflers

The point was to show the power potential of the kit I have a forged asembly at home getting ready to put it together. But I have made over 600 for about 16000 miles and as you can see the engine is still pretty healthy. I would certainly not reccomend running 16psi unless forged.

Honestly it feels like its still not even working hard yet and thats what scares me! You know engines always run best just before they let go and I dont want to rebuild the turbos if it grenades a piston. I can tell you this there was 0KR and inlet temps never went over 85 degrees in all the runs the intercooler is very effiecent.

http://ls2gto.com/forums/showthread....st+chase+video more details can be read in the links.

Guys I was only filming the races because I have the only vehicle that could keep up. The race was betwen the other guys I was only pacing them I have been waiting to run them but it has not happened yet for various reasons.


I got poped recently by the cops so I dont have any recent videos at my current power level but I am working on it, I wish I had the video of the police helicoptor trying to keep up.
