Ok so I just noticed the APS ad that mentions kits for Fbodies. Has the development for the fbodies been completed? Whats the result?

I don't think the F-Body kits are due out for another few months.

Peter from APS said they have a July release date right now for the f-body kit.

Based on what I have seen from their gto and vette kits I think the APS f-body will be pretty similar to the incon kits, with a couple improvements.

Yeah, I have been following them fairly closely on corvetteforum. They seem to be good quality and time will tell as far as reliability. Good stuff to come hopefully!

One of my buddies here is getting the C5 aps kit in a few weeks. We are going to see how it does on his vette.

Engineering of the F body intercooled twin turbo system should be completed by April 07 with production scheduled for June 07. If all goes to plan the F body twin turbo systems will start shipping to the US by mid July 07. Let me know if you have any other F body twin turbo questions and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Thanks,

Peter

Yes Peter, do you hire slave labor in exchange for a turbo kit? I have a masters in engineering and would work towards my kit! I have always wanted to visit Australia! Can't wait to see pics once you guys are done developing it. The GTO and Corvette kits looks SWEET! I will be following closely when you guys announce the release. I see a 0% credit card in my future with a turbo kit on it!

Does anyone know what the Incon kit maxed out at? In another thread Peter was saying 800/800 should be the max.

I dont know what the max numbers are on pure pump gas, but Harlan made 740ish with a little high octane gas, and cablebandit made 820 on pump+meth with the kit he sold me.

The base kit with GT2871R's would max around 740rwhp at 17psi on race gas....enough to run high 9's at +140.

The upgraded turbos ...roughly GT3076R's...would max around 840rwhp.

All on stock cubes....keep the stock cubes for t25 turbine turbos and you'll have a nice power curve.

I may have to do that. Just started a new job in Jan though. So I will see how it goes. But if you need an engineer stateside let me know. Maybe we can work something out.
