I have one of the kits

The kits was about 8000.00 with the up grade to the T 74Q trim. Is the kit worth it hell yes!!!!!! My kit is about 2 years old it was like kit number 4 that Rob put out. There is nothing like a Turbo ls1. My car has about 12,000 miles on the kit now and I have the ls1 edit and I am not a good tunner but I am running mid 10s now.

One thing

Have Rob do the tunning and installation

8000 was for parts and install?

You will spend about that for parts and install (at QMP) I think the last I saw his kits were 7500.

You will also need to build up your drivetrain, and if getting serious (more than 6psi) building up the motor is recommended (by me).

So I wonder what kind of HP and torque 6 PSI would net me?

i believe it is all posted on the QMP web page, www.quartermileperformance.com. I used to gawk at that page all day and dream...

From what I understand Rob is having issues with his web site. Best to call him and ask... I heard 500+ at the rear at one time. Never got mine tuned or dynoed before the pistons popped. I will be making more than 500 when all said and done, with a tiny T76

HP with boost is all numbers, it's a percentage. Assuming all is well, tuning is good etc. you will make roughly 6.8% more hp/tq per pound of boost. So with your setup let's say your making roughly 370rwhp, at 6lb's of boost that equates to about 521rwhp. These numbers are not on the dot but they are pretty damn close. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input guys. I was just wanting over 500 HP and Torque. I really didn't want to do the bottom end now to though. I figured that I would be ok If I didn't get to greedy with the boost. But hey if the bottom end did go then it would just be an excuse to stroke it!

slyws6

My thoughts exactly hence the reason the forged 6.0L is going in, stock bottom end let go at the track while N/A so might as well go the turbo route.

So it Rob still making these kits, I thought he called it quits, I might of been a future customer

PonyKiln

I dunno I haven't called or anything. I was just doing research and stuff for future mods I want.

i think stainless works is selling all the required tubing/manafolds now. you'd have to piece together the kit like turbo, intercooler and wastegates etc.
there is more info on the other site.

I heard he's still doing it. You just have to go to him for the install. and i also hear he is going to start doing a twin-turbo kit for an f-body. But im not sure on that twin-turbo thing.

hey stainless works is a sponser on ls1tech, so check out their prices in this section.
only thing though it wont be a complete kit.

The Man Doesn't Know How To Tell The Truth And He Has Jon In The Office To Redirect All Of His Calls. The Guy Has Trouble Tuning What He Builds And Can Lean Out A Motor And Burn Rings & Pistons And Many Other Bad Things. I Learned My Lesson And I Have Done More Research Into His So Called Shop. Yes The Kit Can Put Out Power But I Wouldn't Let Him Touch My Lawn Mower. Look For A Used Kit And Do The Install Yourself And A Good Garage That You Have Confidence In Tune It.

The Sound Of A Turbo Is The Next Best Thing To Sliced Bread So Don't Get Discouraged Just Research What, When And Where.

Pm Me If You Have Questions.

Brian, do you have a white WS6? If so we met once I have the red 98 Formula that was on the trailer.
