Default Who makes the best TT kit for my 02 SS?!?!

Hey guys, this is kind of an extension from my other forum all motor or forced induction in the ls1-ls6 internals. I have come to a conclusion of forging my motor and adding a couple of twins on my 02 35th SS M6. So my question is who or what company has the best TT setup? As I stated in my other forum money isnt really an issue., im not looking for 1000whp ill be fine with 700whp. I might as well inquire on what gauges do I need and do I need a wideband?!?! wait......what the hell is a wideband? THANKS! I dont know if my picture will work but if it does theres my car.

Nice car BTW. Speed Inc definately has a nice Twin Turbo Kit, but I believe it is installed in house only though. There is alot of happy customers out there with Speed Inc's Twin turbo kits.

Try to find a used Incon kit.


Its a grate first kit...
good for at least 700rwhp and cast manifolds last a long
time with no probs.

Now finding one could be a problem.

New upgrade for the turbos available good for about 800 -
850rw too.

IMO its the best kit if you don't want to be under the hood
all the time.
mine went in 2 years ago, at 8 - 9# boost....I have cleaned
the air filters....and changed the oil. If I could have done
it over I would have done the shortblock first, I did the
heads and cam and am now stuck at low boost for now.

Sweet ride dude...

Speed inc does seem to be a favorite and I was looking at pictures of the install and wow its a clean setup! As far as Incon goes, i've always heard nothing but good reviews, wasn't there only like 115 TT kits made by Incon?!?!? GMR i will have to check them out as well as PTK. I am now confused on wheather to buy or forge my motor as I want either 370c.i. or 402c.i. anyways how much boost could I safely run? As far as driving this beaSSt on the streets am I going to have to run drag radials on the back? I have all sorts of questions but i'll stick with thess for now...thanks for the compliments on my SS!

there are a lot of variables that determine that.. given the same size turbos you would need more boost to make the same amount of power out of the 370.. although the 370 should be cheaper to build... you should talk to your engine builder .. who are you thinking of having do it?

if ur car is tuned safely and by a GOOD tuner then u don't need extra gauges like a wideband. IMO I'd rather look down the track to see where I'm going than over at a gauge. usually if u notice something is going wrong like ur A/F then it's already too late to do anything about it.

so, IMO go with Speed Inc.

I'm waiting for the APS kit... They'll probably use the same exhaust manifolds as the incon kit, since they have Inall.. Well. at least I hope they do.

Incon is my favorite.... if you can find a complete kit. I found this brand new kit 4 months ago for $7.5k minus gauges,fuel,tune. You can still find them if you're ready to pounce.

This kit is heaven on wheels.

I have actully been thinking about building the motor up myself with some help from my local car club guys, BUT i am also thinking about having speed inc do everything. My motor setup will contain the stock block, crankshaft, my LS-6 intake manifold, AFR 225's JE pistons and rods from Lingenfelter, and an LS-6 cam unless other opinions arise. What size turbos could I safely run? T-67's?

It was in the sale section on this site.

I just happened to stroll through and it was at the bottom of the 1st page. It had some interest, but I jumped on it instantly. I drove from Atlanta to Chicago and back within' 18 hours of my wedding!

Everything turned out perfect. I was on cloud 9. ~Goodluck

Thanks to the sponsors for teching in and giving advice.. I think that im going to sick with Speed inc. for my setup just because its going to be a brand new setup unless I happen to come across a new or slightly used Incon kit.....Now I just need to talk to my accountant and get some cash to get my project "Twin Terror" under way

Don't bother keeping track of the cost. Its always allot.
Just keep the money flowing, Its worth every penny when its
done.
Spend the money to do it right the first time and you will
have a reliable and extremely fast car.

I have to kind of plan around a certain amout 14k to be exact...well i suppose it'll be less after attorney fees I plan on doing it right the first time thats why I'll most likely ship my car to Ls1speed and have jon and the crew put it together and tune it. Do i need to build up my T-56 as well?!?!?
