I am intrested in this Kit. I have done some minor modification to My STS Kit already. ADDED a BOV and Moved the Maf up top by the TB. I will keep an Eye out for this kit for sure. I have a 94 Trans am and I am intrested in seing what Kind of difference this kit will make with My STS set up! When do you think it will be avalible? DID you mention Trial KIT? I might be intrested? PM me with soime info, Thanks, Lata, Arkangel77

If its an LT1 car that needs it then I would be interested yes. I have a few LT1 cars around the shop, and I could make something up and send it to you if you like and we can go from there to see what we can make.

Verdad Gallardo Hey Rick, My Car is a 94 LT1. Its got a freshly built motor and the STS Kit. Let me know what you are thinking? I was sorta wondering how I might get Air to the FMIC. There is NO Plate cover to remove from my front cap? I am intrested it seing what this would do for my Car. Thanks, Arkangel77
I got the FMIC for my ATI Procharger D-1.
Me and rick swapped out the old ATI plumbing and didn't have to modify much, just the foam abs, and behind the grille.
The new piping only has 3 pieces to it. and fits perfect. It also looks much cleaner then all the piping that ATI has.

It looks really good, but being that the IC is ~$300 shipped from Ebay, I dont see $700 worth of work. Could just be me though.
Still a good deal for someone who isnt too mechanically inept to tackle it.

I spend alittle more than 300 for the IC. I dont always trust ebay and when you need them fast, i need to be able to get them. Keep in mind I also use Stainless steel pipe, and if you saw what that stuff costs, you would understand. Then t-clamps, which are not cheap also, plus silicon couplers including the reducers and other. Plus the meterials that go into the brackets and the time to weld and fabricate the whole kit which takes about an entire day to do. So since these kits run about 999 for right now, and with the amount of time I put into them, I am not realy making anything, in fact I think I am losing money. But I am doing this in hope that this gives people the option to have a ready made kit in the future, plus more kits to come.

I'm VERY interested, once I get my built motor here in a few days I'm getting a D1 or F1R setup soon, my only hesitation so far was dealing with the piping for the FMIC. Great timing Let us know when its for sale.

Rick is right on as far as cost. His time is worth alot too. We did an intercooler kit and you end up with $700 or so in parts alone. I used aluminum and I think that is a little less then stainless.
I think aluminum is more per foot. Is the pic the finshed kit or is the pipeing going to be polished? 1000 is a little high but it is perfect for someone just wanting to bolt it on and not fab up all the stuff them self. But it does inclued the nice clamps which are big bucks I think I paid like 5$ a clamp for one of my kits I had but they are well worth the money for sure.

People see the $999 and think that your trying to make a million dollars.The ones that tried to make there own kit know that $999 is a good price.I'm with you guys. After adding up your material cost and labor in this kit, I would be surprised if you make any profit. The penny pinchers are the ones that decide to cut corners and are the ones to blow up in front of you at the track.I think $999 is a deal and the ones that need a FM should jump on it.I know my rep at STS speaks highly of Rick and his work. Hey Rick I sent you a PM.
