By your logic my street kit would make as much HP as the TTI Race kit with the same turbo but you know what? It wont. This does look like a great kit and should work well as most Header type setups do. I dont like the big bend behind the pass side manifold but its a compromise to keep the AC. Most people just dont want to make a guess and spend $4000 not knowing how it will perform. How can you blame them? BTW what is your FI setup?

What we know is there's something holding us back especially when you consider our price and the total number of companies even offering what we offer. That's why we wanted to address the situation and let people know what was going on with our company. Since this thread started, it seems more and more people have expressed there interest in our kit and we've even made some sales. Things are in fact looking better as far as our F-body department is concerned. As far as I can see these prices should boost sales and we'd be able to continue selling these kits for years to come. Anyways, thanks again for all the support.
Your welds look PHENOMINAL too. The reality is that people want to see some kind of results, even if they have no idea what they mean. If you had a dyno showing you making 500hp @ 7000, you'd sell more kits than if you had nothing. It's just basic marketing. Hang in there man. Find a customer who has the piping already installed or can have it in quickly. Maybe a small ($50) discount if you can post results (dyno or track) within a month of delivery?
I'd be interested to know what you made your jigs from. My first one was made w/ 2x4s and muffler clamps.

Thats the exact reason i'm pulling my heads and cam and going back to stock and bolting up this kit. Been wanting to go turbo for a long time and this is a more perfect time than ever. I only went heads/cam because I never thought such a quality kit could be had for such a price.

I dont think they do the entire kit....Im talking to futral about putting me together some charge pipes for the kit now. It comes w/ everything other than that.....Just go to the website and see which intercooler you need and how much it is then add it to the price of the other kit. then see how much you can get some charge pipes for.

turbo headers Quote:
By your logic my street kit would make as much HP as the TTI Race kit with the same turbo but you know what? It wont. This does look like a great kit and should work well as most Header type setups do. I dont like the big bend behind the pass side manifold but its a compromise to keep the AC. Most people just dont want to make a guess and spend $4000 not knowing how it will perform. How can you blame them? BTW what is your FI setup?
I will start off by saying this kit looks great! why are people bad mouthing a new kit of such high quality? the bend on the pass side its not a problem if it was why would TTI use it and speed inc. say its the best set up? huh did you guys think of that! I talked to john today seems like he is just trying to get the best quality for a little cheaper and a street kit . a lot of the power is in the eye of the tuner some people just wont see the true power it is capable of. so all stainless, headers, keep ac and p/s, not bad for 1600$ i will give high hopes to this kit and hopefully soon on to my car, so john good luck and i hope to be one of your kits new happy owers soon

do they not sell the charge side pipes?
thats a good price
