Default PTK kit

anyone running this kit yet? which turbo did you decide to go with? Kit is a little pricy, but you get what you pay for usually. I like the design of the kit over the phamspeed because of the better ground clearance no piping under the k member. I know everyone says they did not lose any noticeable ground
clearance, but that is BS since the pipe runs under the k member. My car is real low and every 1/4 inch counts for me. Any numbers for this kit? Someone has to have it up and running out there. thinking about this kit with the T76 turbo for about 6300 dollars which I think is a good price for a complete kit.

Man, I wish I could tell you more...

Still waiting for the kit, and nobody on this board seems to have the PTK kit! I wish I could talk to some PTKers myself. I ordered mine in the beginning of May, I think. PTK, their A2A intercooler, manual boost controller, and I'm thinking about adding a Tial BOV to my order. The turbo is a T70. I've got the gauges already. I've got 60# injectors, 255 lph fuel pump, and some other loose ends on the way. Soon, I hope...

I can't believe we're still waiting to see results from this kit. I'm sure they'll be great but it'll jjust make me happy to see some results because I want to get this kit in about a year or so.

Yeah, thats the kit I'd go with if I were keeping my car, I like it for the same reasons you do, more ground clearance. I say go for it, be the first to put out some numbers, the kit will deffinitely make plenty of power.

Is there not one of these seven kits owned by a member of LS1tech? Hello... Anybody? Chime in PTKers!


I guess nobody's home...


What did these people do with their kits... install them and then move to Antarctica?

When I do get this kit, no matter how busy I am, I will certainly post pics, videos, numbers, you name it! I owe it to this forum and its members for all of the wonderful information you guys have imparted to me and for all the stupid questions you have answered for me as well.

Ahem... Anyway, that LT1 car is badass.

How can anyone live without ground clearance? These cars don't have much with stock springs on them!
