If you want to keep your A/C, I think the Turbo Tech street kit is the only one that does. Even with it, you are only limited to maybe 600 hp on a built motor. If you want big numbers, the A/C will have to be sacrificed for some headers.. Log style systems suck, but are your only option

Logs aren't so bad. I've run 143 mph at full weight with a log header and T76GTS on my old LT1 with a blower cam. There's more to come also, as the run was made with 17's up front in 90+ deg heat and there's more left in the turbo!

Well...if its custom...then it is up to the person who builds it. Now if you want a production turbo kit from a sponser or company...then I think all you have is the TTi Street Kit and one of TurboZone's kits, or rear mounts.

There are others that keep A/C and use tubular headers. I can think of at least one.

I never undetstood why anyone with an Incon would want to sell their Incon.

While I'm pondering life's mysteries, I continue to be perplexed trying to understand how no one has emulated the design, i.e. the low hanging twins, etc. and come out with a "copy."

Incon is the only one I would think about for keeping the AC.All the others require running pipes under the subframe.Would rather loose the AC than have pipes under the frame
