For a little more you can get a TTi Stage X kit which is a very well proven setup (that's what I run). For a similar amount you can also get the APS twin turbo kit.

The only good single setups I've seen are one off, and by the time you pay to have the custom work done you could have easily just purchase one of the above TT kits.

I totally disagree. By the time my ProCharger car went back to the shop a dozen times to align the belt, replace the tensioner four times, replace an idler pulley, etc I could have easily just installed turbos at the beginning and had an extra year of driving pleasure.

^^ I can't comment on your procharger headaches, but I can comment on the issues and expense incurred on my Incon TT kit. Nightmare.

My next car will probably be a '70 Stingray with a polished Roots-type blower sticking up through the hood.

What type of issues did you have with the Incon kit? I've had awesome results with my TTi setup.

i looked into the stage x kit and i think i might go with that. i noticed on the sight they said they made 529 rwhp on a stock zo6 @ 7 psi, they also say anything over 500hp you have to do major fuel system upgrades. wich i plan on doing anyway, but not right away. so does that kit require fuel upgrades besides injectors and fuel pump?
what kind of power are you making?

I ran the TTi Stage X kit on a stock bottom end LS1 for a year making 600 rwhp and a year later upgraded to a forged stock cube LS6. I'm at the 700 rwhp level now. The X kit can make 550 rwhp and it can make 900 rwhp. It's really just a question of what your goals are.

My fuel system consists of Mototron 60 # injectors, Racetronix fuel pump, Ken Belle Boost A Bump (BAP), and an ECS/Alky Control Kit.

sweet, thanks for the info. my goal is to make 500 rwhp on the stock ls6, then when that blows up or whatever im gonna build a motor and i want to make between 750 to 900 rwhp.
so to get 500 rwhp what will i have to do to the fuel system? and how much boost will i need to run? i would like to run 9#s on the stock motor if it will hold for a while.
at what point do you have to start upgrading the fuel manegment?

thanks
