No problem on the pics. Im not sure what route im going to go with the fans. Id like to see the kit on the car before i order anything. By the way Josh is building me the entire hotside,i have a really nice cold side on the car from my last kit that im going to modify slightly to make work with this kit.

I actually upgraded to the tc78 about 3,000 miles ago on my current kit. Im going to re use that on my new hot side. Im just going to add a race cover to it. The tc78 spools insanly fast and is good for 1,000 hp. And it physically tiny so its easy to work with.
The 67 will be sold with the current kit that is on the car right now. That turbo work great also. Im also upgrading to a tial 44mm wastegate and ill run about 17psi this time.

do you wanna be fast or do you wanna be cold? ditch the a/c and get a tti race kit

I'm going to do both while busting your *** with my old lady in the car and both of us eating ice cream. Just joking with ya man. I have been there and done that before with cars that had no a/c or heat, loud exhaust that would give you a headache and the T350 trans with 4.10 gears that will only let you cruise comfortably at 50 mph.
I like the idea of cruising with the air on listening to the radio going to the track at 80 mph then running some single digits and driving home in comfort.

No votes for a speed inc kit? They always do really good work and are well established. Is it because their kits are more money than those mentioned here? I am also doing my research and they have always landed at the top of the list.

Incredible looking work from Josh. I had told him before, he gets one of his kits that would fit AC, and I would definately be interested in purchasing it. Looks like Im going to start saving my pennies.

so ive installed the ac kit i recieved from josh and it is sweet.ive been working with josh to improve the kit in some areas so all the kits after mine will be perfect.
the only thing that could be a problem would be the stock radiator and fan location.stock fans are out for sure.u can run 2 pushers on the other side but i dont know how well the ac would work.
im currently cutting my upper rad support and standing up a big griffen rad.

I have the APS kit and have put about 15k on the car with no issues. Just get in and drive. I did see the sway bar dented my charge pipes and will have to resolve that when I lower the car this year..... But overall the kit has been reliable and pretty straightforward to install. Best of all was the A/C. I drove it to our track rental last year, make 8 passes (setting a new personal best), and drove home with the A/C on.

I just purchased my kit from Josh and it should be in by the beginning of next month. Looking forward to having every individual horse of power come out and turn on the a/c after
