Kyle,
Yeah its the same guy you were thinking of he did do the one for the TT guy, I contacted him and he put me in touch with Aaron. Hes a great guy, when he sent it back he didnt include my TB, he overnighted the TB and refunded part of what I paid him for the inconvience, and I didnt ask for any of that. Just wanted the TB back

here is his e-mail addy, if you want to get ahold of him.

aaron_460@hotmail.com

THanks

I thougt you were getting rid of your turbo kit, decided to keep it?

its a -25cc reverse dome, their website catalog says its 8.9:1 with 5.3 heads but if you use a compression calculator it doesnt say that with a .045 gasket its 8.4 and with a .055 gasket its a 8.25 motor.

the part number is k392a07

Call eric at HPE, he's who I bought mine through, I bought all the parts and then took them all back to him to have him do the engine work. He will take care of you for sure.

link to compression calculator: http://rosspistons.com/calculator.php

link to wiseco website: http://www.wiseco.com/PDFcatalogs/AB05_chevy.pdf its on page 8 of 12

Link to pistons on summits website: http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp youll have to type in the part number. the prefix is wis-part#

link to eric at HPE: https://www.horsepowerengineering.co...contact_us.php

is there anyother information youd like?
if so post up.

I intend to see how much I can get on pump, and then add alky.

Im not going to run race gas, dont want the expense.
Im going to make a dual nossle alky kit if I end up needing something more.

Itd be nice to make say 600 on pump only.

Im just hoping for 700-800 honestly i wont care what it makes, as long as its over 500
cause after that its just tunning. I think i have the hard parts, its just a matter of getting the tune right after that. Fastech is local so im going to let them do it and see what they can do.
Going to have to hook up the T-Com, and once its been running a while ill add the megasquirt and turbo to it

gotcha....yeah about the only semi local place for me is over in Orlando at Next Level Performance,which Mike Norris does a very good job so it should work out.Im basically having the same feelings as you as far as power....anything over 500rwhp is enough to walk all over 99.9% of street cars...and our cars will be nice and quiet to boot!What cam specs did you go with?

Id call eric at HPE, he matched Summits pricing for me, and if you getting rods as well, id definatly call him, as he has some compstars that are a great peice and a great price.

oh,
Send him an e-mail, thats prolly the best way to get ahold of him

I want to say the addy is like eric@horsepowerengineering.com

while I was dealing with him, I saw the counter and back and fourth we had about 112 e-mails. He ALWAYS replied try that way, when I was there inperson, the counter help looked kinda like some punkish people

Yes I have the compstars, wiseco pistons, and some total seal rings eric spec'd. as well as a cam he speced for me
