All right, man! I know how you feel, check my sig.

I've been waiting for mine some time already, and I might get it first. I'll post up stuff for you as soon as I can. I don't know about you, but the suspense kills me EVERYday.

Don't forget your gauges and miscellaneous stuff. I've been recommended stronger pushrods and valve springs, to prevent float. I've read some posts here with some cars getting valve float under low boost at high RPM's and some cars not getting any float at high boost at high RPM... It seems to be a case by case circumstance with the stock LS1 springs.

I am in the same boat. still just not sure which kit I am going to go with though. all the little things do add up. but I just want it done right the first time. so the wait will be worth it. let us know how it bolts up and what problems you run into.
thanks
Wesley

Here's some stuff that i covered

Gauges,
Fuel Regulator
Fuel Pump

Pushrods and Valvesprings are good to go. Picked out perfect with my turbo cam.

Im still looking at intercoolers. I just bought the kit without turbo and IC. My tuner has a great deal on Griffin and Fluidyne Stuff as well as Precision

Crazy, I'm glad you went PTK. Our kits don't comprise the car's overall function and comfort. You will enjoy the system indeed. Also as for BOV and Turbo don't hessitate to contact us. One thing is do you order our system with a bypass or BOV option or did you delete it??

How can someone place a order or talk about your kits if I cant get a returned PM or call?

You guys must be really busy?

Do you sell a kit with a T88?

SStroked, I have not recieved a PM from you. Not sure about a call since we haven't made it through all the messages yet. Did you call PTK directly?? As for a T88, we are not sure if the 88 will bolt in where the 76GTS does. We think it probably will but haven't had anyone try it yet. Also the DP would have to be modified since the 88 either comes with 4" downpipe, which would not fit, and the 3" donut flange, which is what you would have to use.

Jose
