It is cheaper than paying someone to build you a kit, not to mention the time you would have to wait for a one off build without your car. When you consider those points of view it starts to make a lot of sense, well at least to us it does.
I'm not ******* on your kit at all, all I said was it's far different from what it started out as. If I dropped my car off at a top builder and had a one off setup built.. I'd have a one off setup.. there's a ton of expense in that, because it's not a KIT That being said, I will have a loooooooooot more money in building my boosted setup by the time it's running than you're asking for your kit. FI is expensive, that's all there is to it.

All I'm saying is, it started out as a budget kit, went to a 7,500 kit, now it's 10k. Most peoples fbodies aren't even worth 10k.

I hope it works out well for you. Cheers to thinking outside the box, and still developing fbody mods

There has been a lot of sacrifice to make this happen, no one will ever know how close I come to saying the hell with it, well Rob and my wife. My wife is the best woman in the world to go through
this with me, Thanks babe!!

One thing you guys may be forgetting, this is not a put a deposit down and wait forever to get your parts. We build this on our dime not yours.

There is a ton of little features that we haven’t mentioned, it is a lot to post but I will high light
some of the details that I deemed necessary, that don’t have anything to do with how much power it will make, it was about doing it right or not doing it at all.

That’s how this kit become what it is. I told Rob if I’m putting my name on it will be top notch or nothing.

An old man told me once “son I would rather explain the price than apologize for the quality”.

Nice job making the turbo intakes part of the K member. Your kit slightly resembles the old C.A.S. twin kit sitting in boxes in my shop, but you didn't cut any corners, nice job!!
For anyone who wants a big power street car this is the kit to have!

Welcome to the game guys.
You've got some big shoes to fill.

This type of setup doesnt come cheap. Hell, it shouldnt come cheap. They did thier home work and have looked to have developed a solid setup. It has the parts. Now someone needs to step up and prove the design.

As for this setup being the "ULTIMATE" in the 4th Gen Turbo , I will leave that one alone for now .

Kit looks awesome! I think the price is reasonable considering you get a k member and a starter. The kit that you are installing this weekend, is it a stock motor or a built motor and how big is it? Are you guys tuning the car?

Very nice and for what you get the price seems justified to me. Congrats on the kit. Maybe my second build will see one of your kits.

The install car for this weekend has a stock motor and will be tuned by Futral Motorsports.

Also I would like to point out that the use of the word Ultimate is not meant to take away any props to anyone that makes turbo setups ie Josh@KYturbo.

Josh makes great turbo kits and so do others. Our kit is the only bolt-on twin setup so we are definitely on different ends of the spectrum.

Josh, thanks for the compliments bro!

Ron at Vengeance Racing is going to install one on a 427LSX powered car in a few weeks, that install will be covered by GM High Tech magazine.

I am buying one. What size turbo's my kit will have for $9999? Simple question.

Those with smaller turbo will get discount or those selecting bigger turbo's will pay more? Another simple question.

Thanks for taking time to answer.

I can't stop looking at all of the details in this! This kit is absolutely phenomenal,and that K Member is GORGEOUS!!!! That is probably the most creative, ingenious, beautifully executed idea to hit the F body FI scene in a decade. It looks so damned obvious, yet it is like nothing before it!

The overall success of these kits rest on the eventual cars that will employ them. And to be viable and sustainable, they really needed to prove their overall durability, build quality, fit and finish, performance, and perhaps most importantly: their customer service! I believe the pictures speak for themselves, and as far as an impressive, top shelf consumer Forced Induction solution, CBR performance has hit a grand slam! However, we will have to wait for the kits to arrive on the customer's doorstep, and the cars to hit the rollers and 1320 to prove its performance, and from the moment they went on sale and on, we will have to watch how they handle their customers needs and wants. That alone will set them apart from their peers, and define their position among the leaders in the hugely competitive FI marketplace!
YOU GUYS HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB HERE! And heres to a VERY BRIGHT, PROSPEROUS FUTURE!!!!!

lovely kit you have created there. Nice to see someone devloping a bolt on big power solution in a kit form. Cant wait to see someone put down the number with this.

One question though, is any heat shielding going to be provided with the kit? It looks like the manifolds are coated. But a nice pair of Ally/SS heat shields for them would really top it off!

CHris.

Turbo sizing doesn't affect pricing, but turbo quality can raise it ie billet wheels, ball bearing center section, etc etc

Looks like a well thought out - solid kit. Rob/Chris - hats off to you guys.

The price, while out of my price range - I think it's realistic.

This kit would be awesome for the texas or maxon mile
