Default So whats the status of all the Hi-Flo kits??

I was just wondering what the status was of all the Hi-Flo kits??

I'll go first. Mine is waiting to be tuned. We ran into all kinds of problems like the Dual walbros kept blowing lines so we switched to a sumped tank with an A1000. Mine has been down for 6 months, but now it runs it just isnt drivable.

My ss is over @ the shop and will be ready for pick up this coming thursday. I got a new forged short and new fuel system installed and the ac is up and running and the ft swaybar is lowered. Car should be getting tuned this monday or tuesday. I went with an a-1000 also with new feed and return and billet rails with fpr. Ended up getting AEM tru boost in the pillar with an autometer cobalt wideband and cobalt dig shift light tach. I can't wait to pick her up. We had to fab a whole new downpipe to clear the ac.

Definitely take pics and let us know!

Mine is sitting 15 feet from me. I'm 'selling' it, but in a passive manner. If it doesnt sell I'll be 'forced' to install it

This whole ordeal has left me uncertain as to what I wanna do with the car.

UPDATE: got to drive my car today on 7#. Wound out 2nd, 3rd, and 4th and it feels strong. Gonna try to get the BC working tomorrow and turn it up to 10#. No dyno numbers just street tuning. Stay Tuned I'll make a new thread when I get some dyno numbers.

NICE... glad to hear it! What tuning solution?

Best of luck; I know what it's like to be without.

Shop is having some fitament issues with the lowered swaybar and downpipe. More delays. Car should be ready next week. Supposedly when swaybar is lowered to the amount needed the ends are in contact with something? Could it be the tie rods? Might have to ditch the ft swaybar and put the QA-1's @ full stiff.

What did you do about the swaybar end links making them work with the 3" spacers? What is the best way to install the downpipe they are having a hard time making it fit? Do you install it from the bottom and do you have to loosen the passenger side header? Thanks man.
