Talking It finally shipped!!!!!!!

So after 9 months of waiting. My HP Performance stage 3 turbo kit finally shipped out today!!!!! I really really hope it will be worth the ridiculous wait time i had to go through, especially after i was quoted a 6-8 week wait time. . . . . . also does anybody have any idea what the spool time for a t76 will be like on a stock LS1? Im hoping to run about 7 psi and get 400 rwhp is this a realistic goal?


Sorry for the kind of pointless thread i just needed to share my excitement lol. 9 months of waiting can really take a toll on ones horsepower addiction. . . I will be sure to post lots of pics when it does finally show up at my house!


Thanks for reading


3/21/09 UPDATE: They gave me a tracking on the 8th. Still when i look it up on ups it says billing information received which pretty much means it wasn't shipped. I have talked to Nathan numerous times about the problem and he is blaming ups, but doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. I filed a complaint with the BBB so hopefully that will speed the process up. . . . . . I'm so frustrated with this company!!!!!!!! This sucks @$$!!!!!!!!!!!

7psi will put you closer to 500RWHP than 400.

Sometimes it feels good to get them used. You will spool fast to 7psi. I hit 14psi by 2800 on my t76, but I am thru a 408 and a 4l80e. Your driving thru a m6 you will easily hit near 500 with that. GL

Seems they never change, hope this works out for you. HP has a bad rep for a reason.
We have a few good sponsors that could have took care of you and your FI needs.

Yeah used seems like it would have been ideal in this situation. Good to know thanks for the info, eventually i would like to do a 408 set up. What kind of power are you making?

I hope so to. I usually have to learn things the hard way though . I wish i would have gone with one of the ptk kits from forced inductions, either that or one from Kentucky turbo or tti.

Pump Gas numbers thru a 4l80e and a z06 cam(14lbs). 602 rwhp and 712 rtq. 17lbs with race gas 732hp and 800+tq. I hit 14 lbs a lil before 3k and the dyno graph stays nice and flat after that.

haha yeah right. . . . . I really don't recommend anyone ever buys a turbo kit from these guys. It was supposed to go out Wednesday sense then i have called back every day at least twice a day trying to get tracking numbers from them, so far i have had no luck. I even called yesterday and they said they were closed on the weekends but if i call back first thing Monday morning i will get the tracking numbers. I payed the the remaining balance on Wednesday and supposedly they ship it right after they charge you the remaining balance. If i don't get tracking numbers on Monday i don't even know what im going to do. This whole process makes me sick!

Mods, can you change the name of this thread to something more fitting please?

That is a sick set up!
