Default sorry for missed calls and emails, here's the story

Trying to finish off all the orders and I have about a week left. The new budget kits are in the making and they're going to be by far the best kit on the market, my opinion anyways All kits will be 100% complete with nothing else to buy. FMIC upgrades will come with all piping, couplers, and clamps. Instructions will be included with all kits. Dyno results will be posted in about 2-3 weeks with a T70 intercooled kit.

Prices are still being calculated cause we keep on adding things to make the kits better. One thing I want to do is have all kits ceramic coated for longer life of the turbo kit as well as all other parts in engine bay.

The biggest change for Phamspeed now is that we're moving into a big shop and can now take real big projects. We even have our own dyno and tuner

Anyways, for all of you that thought I dropped off the face of the earth, just letting you know I'm still around

Yeah, I'm going to move into Ground Zero Motorsports in Portland Oregon. Phamspeed will be building the kits and GZM will be taking orders, tech questions, dyno, tuning, ect....

so still no manifold kit? What kinda turn around time do you have for people ordering a budget kit (if your accepting orders at this time)? I think I recall seeing 2 months or something in another thread, just curious if thats still true.

custom manifold kits might be available in the future but I'm guessing after people see dyno results from stock manifolds, they won't think twice

Right now I'm only backordered a few kits so that should only take me a week or so to push out. But that's after I do the move which should be about 3 weeks. So figure if you placed an order, I'll be able to start on it in about 1.5 to 2 months. Price has gone up but the kits are now 100% complete ready to bolt up. We'll also have techs available to help with questions. No phone call will be unanswered which is a big plus for all of you. Dyno results will be posted, I know all of you have been waiting. So yes, price has gone up but I'm sure customer's will be happier buying from a larger company. GZM has alot I can't offer in an 8hr work day

Prices of the kits will be posted later this week as we still need to discuss the changes.

Relativelyfast, just let us know. We'll be happy to set you up with a kit and have you walk out the door with an additional 100+rwhp

So, since you are making this statement, what is the full list of parts to the kit? If I want to run an IC, do I have to cut up my car to make it work or have you figured that out? Any pics of a complete budget kit mounted with IC?

These kits are going to make SICK power even with stock manifolds. I think anyone looking to buy this kit should try to find a set of 00 and up manifolds (cast iron) they flow better and retain heat alot better as well.

Looking forward to hearing the final pricing!

Problem is I have a 422ci and can't use a stock manifold for my application. Good luck on your new buisness merger.
