Huron Speed. As others have commented Jon's customer service is beyond excellent. I have his A/C kit installed on my car and he was there to answer any and all questions.

Excellent products and I would gladly buy another kit if I get another fbody.

Went w/ the Cxracing header kit the rest of the kit is fabbed.Also went w/ a reliable vendor for all the important parts rather then cheap Chinese knockoffs. I called on Cxracing a few times and found there tech service to be very helpful.

Looking forward to seeing your build thread and how much, or it at all, better you like the turbo over the D1SC.

Yeah. In the other thread, it says that he used a Turbonetics turbo in that build with that kit, so based on what others have said, the On3 turbo is physically the same size as the Turbonetics turbos, so the new On3 turbo would work with their kit. Not bad at all for a budget build.

id do anyone of them BUT the Huron kit, i unfortunately have one and i would not recommend the quality at all, ive seen pics of other members that have gotten the A/C kit like i and we all had alignment issues and things would not bolt up, i personally wish i just got the on3 kit but it was not available when they came out.

also dont like how "huron speed" uses XSPower (ebay parts) as part of there kit

also dosnt include turbo like on3 does.

ive seen a CXracing header kit in parts at a meet and they looked decent but never seen them mocked up on a car in person

but thats my actual personal experience not just what ive read online

Hard for me to beleive... And did you talk with Jon about it? I've never seen better customer service from someone... Every question I ask about my kit is answered quickly and he puts a lot of time in answering my questions! Hard for me to beleive Jon wouldn't make it right if you had problems!

Thanks for all the nice words and replies everyone! I pride myself on customer service, so if any customer has any issues what so ever, always contact me direct (email works best: huronspeedproducts@gmail.com) and I always respond nearly immediately 7 days a week, morning, noon and night!

We have been making changes to our kits recently to simply improve upon areas where YOU THE CUSTOMERS had indicated of what you'd like to see. We took feedback from customers running our first version kits and have been adding those features and tweaks based on our already successful V1 Kits.

In addition, we are now including nice upgrades with the kits for those wanting to run larger mid frame turbos for larger cubic inch engines, or more power in general.

If you are really in the need for a big kit, we have a new T6 kit we will be releasing here very shortly so keep posted!

Again, if anyone ever needs anything simply shoot me an email direct or PM.


Jon

look at the finer details that no one is talking about.
-Do you want AC or not?
-Do you want to get rid of your sway bar?
-Do you want to stand up your radiator?
-Do you want relocate your alternator?
-Do you need an aftermarket Kmember?

There isn't one kit yet that's as straightforward as a blower install for example. They've thought all those things through and you pay for it.

Very true! I doubt you will ever get all of those points above in a turbo kit unless you pay to have one fabricated to your car as keeping A/C, Sway, radiator, etc all with the factory k-member is very tight with all the turbo plumbing.

Here is a quick run down to those questions with our kits.

New V2 kit:
-Do you want AC or not? Removes A/C
-Do you want to get rid of your sway bar? Retains Factory Sway in Factory Position
-Do you want to stand up your radiator? Retains Factory Radiator in Factory Position
-Do you want relocate your alternator? Retains Factory Alternator in Factory Location
-Do you need an aftermarket Kmember? Retain Factory K-member and also fits with most all aftermarket K-members as well.

In progress design V2 A/C kit:
-Do you want AC or not? Retains A/C
-Do you want to get rid of your sway bar? Retains Factory Sway in Factory Position
-Do you want to stand up your radiator? Retains Factory Radiator in Factory Position
-Do you want relocate your alternator? Retains Factory Alternator in Factory Location
-Do you need an aftermarket Kmember? Requires Turbo Style K-member

Jon is a stand-up guy, answered my questions on the kit while on vacation andIi didn't even buy it from him. He's made no money off of me and is still willing to answer my questions. Thanks Jon.
