This might be a bad Idea, but.......
pics on page 19, about middle of the post.
ill be interested to see how this kit works out when they start hitting the streets.
are the production manifolds going to be similiar in construction to the ones from the pic?
what are you doing for bracing to prevent cracks?
on your A2W setup for us bird guys, will we have to lose the front lisence plate cover to use it?

The tubular manifolds are made of sch 10 304 ss.
They are very ridged, the turbos will not need any support or bracing.
The diverside waste gate will get a support bracket because the supply tube feeding it, is fairly long and the gate hanging on the end of it may fatigue the tube where it welds to the manifold.
The passenger gate won’t need a support bracket as the supply tube is short and ridged.
The reason we chose A/W is so you guys won’t have to remove the fog lights and cut a hole in the bumper cover.
Our plans are to build a very similar kit for the LT1 F-Body’s
Those cars don’t have to cut the bird out of the bumper cover like the 98-02 F-body’s do, (Trans Am-Fire Bird).
And the LT-1 Camaro’s don’t have any options for a front A/A with out butchering the front of the car. The A/W offers the best of both words in cases like this.
We really don’t have any plans for selling parts of the kit.
Our goal is to set it up where a guy can install it with the least amount of modification to his car and make as much power as his combo will allow.
What more could a guy want, just think about it for a minute…..
A 400++ cid LSX motor with twin MC78’s rolling around with AC, PS, & Cruise Control not running hot due to a compromised cooling system.
That’s 8 sec power all day long.
A good forged 5.7 or 6.0 with a pair 60-1’s will put a full weight car in the low 10’s high 9’s with out a problem.
Once again what more could you ask for.......
PS: Don't anyone be a smart *** and say "a lower price" !!!!!!
With our kit you might only complain once, and that would be about paying for it.
Or.....
You could buy a cheap kit and complain about it forever.

Our Head Fabricator just put the finishing touches on the CAD file for the K member, so that is done and ready to go.
The only thing left to do before we can start selling it is to tidy up the final coldside design.
We are contemplating the best place to mount the reservoir for the A2W system.
My fabricator wants to put it in the rear of the car but I think that it would be better underhood.
What do you guys think???
Also our intake and discharge is kind of opposite when compared to APS. They sacrificed room for the intake to give the discharge more room.
We are going to do the opposite. We are absolutely dead set on making sure that the intake tubes CANNOT collapse, especially since our customers will be fitting such large turbos in there.
We are rounding the last corner now, everything is looking real good.
We test fitted the kit to a few different cars so far and everytime it bolts up like BUTTA. The cars included a 00' SS auto bone stock. 01 TA 6.0 Lq4 w/ TH400, and few others that shall remain nameless LOL.
We are shooting for a late March release but it may get pushed back into April. I really hope that doesn't happen considering that with all the time and $$$$$$ we have into this we really need to start selling it soon.

I say in the back because if it ever springs a leak some how it will behind the back tires and not in front of them. That could be very very bad and less weight on the front for better weight transfer. Better handling etc.
well I guess you still have to run lines up front so don't really matter. Which ever is more accessable and makes the kit more affordable.
And the guys complaining about the price..
Only a rich man car afford to buy cheap parts because he is the only one who can afford to replace them.
