not taken as an insult at all. i look for people like you. people like you help us to make a better kit that more people would want to have.

I finally chose the KB but am concerned of the prices and I really want a turbo but there is no need for twins on the street so you are da man! Bring it, bring it! Gonna look nice with the jet hot treatment on all the pipes. Lemme know if I can come out there and help. Even though I don't know about turbo fabrication, I can at least move garbage out the way so this goes into production quicker... Also, it would also be good for you to have yours out before STS as I heard they have a single coming out.
Thanks
Brad

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I checked with a few different turbo companies including Phamspeed (they are local) and they acted like I was an idiot for wanting a single turbo setup in my Z06, and there was no room for it in the vette.
If you can get a kit out the door that makes good power and is under or at 5k I'll have some LG's with CATS, and a TRAP intake for sale
Thanks again for developing this and not charging a Vette tax!!! I'll be keeping and eye on the development of this kit!!
Also as some have said it gets very hot behind the radiator that would be my only suggestion is if possible to get the intake in front....IF not, hell if it makes good power on pump gas with a tune I don't see anyone caring

we see no reason to charge a vette tax. we opur selves have vettes and we know what a pain in the butt it is to buy the same product but for 30-40% more than what the fellow f body enthusiast pays.
we have also changed the set up with the intake. in does now require relocating the horns up about 4 inches but it now puts the intake infront of the radiator. once we get a little further along with the progress we will post a few more pictures.

thanks for the kind words. once we have the price available we will let you guys know. we are hoping to be done in the next two weeks. we were shooting for the end of next week but the intercooler we had made wasnt the way we were wanting so now we changed the location of the air intake and had another intercooler designed that is smaller and nets alot more flow and only a .2 PSI drop and will support up to 1000hp and flows 1500 cfm. but we will soon have numbers. we are like little kids around waiting for it to get done. every day we wait for ups man to bring us more goodies. lol

What turbo options are available with this kit?
I have a mild stall (3000 stall) and 2.73 gears. I'd like something that spools VERY quickly and makes great power under the curve from 2000-6000rpm. How do you think a T67 would spool and what power potential? (Say 8-10#s) boost?
Stock motor with tuning and valvespring upgrade only, Walbro pump and 42# injectors
Would 550RWHP/550RWTQ be out of the question?

we are currently beefing up the engine to handle some boost. we want to see what it will do on low and high levels of boost. my custom pistons just showed up today so hopefully we will get to boosting soon.
