Default Who is using Forced Inductions PTK turbo systems?

I was thinking of getting a Forced Induction PTK single turbo system for my 01 T/A and I was wondering who is using this system and what you think of it?

I don't think any have been installed yet, as far as the LS1 kit is conerned. A vette made some nice numbers with their twin kit though and an LT1 made 1012rwhp. I don't think anyone here has one though.

its an awsome kit, unproven, but very well engineered, and comes from a long line of performers

It sucks....lol...just kiding. BTW, the fastest LT1 in the world is a PTK equipped car, Fastest top 2 10.5 outlaw cars are PTK equipped(Lynch and Petty, Moyer), so far unless the record was broken in the past weeks.....etc..etc. The C5 is next on our list . We have a customer that is building a serious C5 and is going to be fast, the 8sec barrier that was set by (The legend himself John Lingenfelter) will probably fall

can somebody tell me why no one is buying the ls1 kit, or at least publicly posting that it is been bought and being installed? its been out for months and is obviously desireable and was highly anticipated.

I bought it on November, just never installed it (now it’s sold). It is a very nice kit and will definitely be a very strong runner. I wish I could have put it on, but I really need to start allocating funds elsewhere. I was looking at spending at least another $1000 for injectors, HP tuners 2bar upgrade, and a wideband. Then there’s always the 12 bolt I need and then a new clutch ect ect ect.

I guy that bought my kit will have it going pretty soon (but will be running on a stock motor for now), so the real big numbers will have to wait. Either way, I’m sure his numbers will be impressive.

PTK makes really nice stuff, wait until y’all see the GTO kit!! IT is awesome!!! There’s no doubt in my mind, that when the numbers start to come out, they will sell a lot of kits!!

Later,
Dave

Would my factory block with forged internals be able to handle your T76 turbo and 10-15 psi of boost to get me around 700 rwhp? Is it better to use 5.7 or 6.0 heads?

Last time I checked, Jose had a complete a/a kit on the shelf. You would just need to decide which turbo you wanted and get it ordered.
