Subscribing to this thread to see where this goes.... could be very interesting.

To the guys who mentioned mustang markets, it's true. The kid down the street from me with an 02 mustang gt just picked up a vortek supercharger kit for like half the price of anything available for the ls1 market. I know it's a numbers game with how many kits they sell vs. the fbody market, but still, I'm jealous.

I'll install a test kit if you need a test bed... my car's a bit far to get it to you directly though.

IMO guys are dreaming if you think you're going to keep ALL of that in there without modifying a damn thing


I think its hilarious

no one wants to remove ANYTHING or MOVE anything from their car, they want stock K-members, AC, powersteering, Stock radiator and fans. and on top of that they want 4" downpipes or 5" DOWNPIPES or PT88 turbos.



Have any of you looked UNDER YOU HOOD LATELY ?!


I think the only one that got this REMOTELY close is QMP and you still had to move your altenator and new PS lines to fit as well as remove the stock fans

Haven't you ever had a dream? lol.
I'm fine with moving stuff. I'd prefer not to move my radiator or replace my kmember... but what has to be done has to be done IMO. If you keep the price low... and make it so you can keep the stuff, even if it has to be moved or modified... the kits will sell.

That would seem difficult to do IMO. They (ModularTurbo) would have to be welding around the clock to get out so many kits, unless he pre-makes a lot like APS did

Obviously all of those thing won't get accomplished. This thread is a brainstorming thread. I want to know what the customer wants, and I'm gonna try like hell to keep most of it.
