If I had of took Los. advice before I bought it. It I would have saved myself about $500. Between him and Josh it is untelling how much money I would have saved myself if I had of just took the advice I was giving.

Josh knew before me. He helped us alot when we were green to the turbo scene. That's a guy that I would consult with absolute confidence when sizing a turbo for an LSx combo. He may know more than just that but that's all I can vouch for.

Agreed! Josh know his turbos and then some. He don't sugar coat nothing for no one. He puts it on the plate just the way it is. Its up to the person that he served it to take it and learn from it. Best person I've ever done business with.

For the things I did listen to you and him on the first time. You all save me some money. Saved me from mistakes and costly ones. Like I've told many ppl on here. By my experiences on here Josh@KY-Turbo and you are the only 2 on here that I go to for advice. I just want to say thanks again for helping me out. With that said, it doesn't mean that they are not others on here that don't know what the are talking about.

Yes, Josh@KY-Turbo. He know his stuff when it comes to the turbo line of things. And it dont stop at the turbo stuff with him. He is on my friends list. So give him a PM. It might take him a day or so to get back to you. He is really busy right now.

Yep thats him. My buddy was gonna buy his GT5588 from him but he needed a turbo fast & ended up going with Dick Head (Rick), Exile turbos. He still has a very high opinion of Reed though.

That's the only reason my buddy had to go somewhere else, he still has a lot of respect for him but he needed a turbo fast. I myself can wait. Jose delivered the one time I needed him to, it was a straight off the shelf industrial turbo for one of our machines @ work, nice guy to deal with.

Yeah it's gone. For the right price everything is for sale. But putting that aside. I have no doubts the 4788 along side with my LSX410ci motor would have went 1000HP plus......And into the 9's with no problem. With that said I know the the 4788 will be put to its max. But I want to see someone take on the task and do it right. Like I was going to and see how far someone with a 400 plus CI engine, with a good engine management system can take it to!! As far as what I am going to do is my project no will remain untold until it is done. Then I will unveil it! It is going to me one fast SOB when Josh is done with it.
