I'm just wondering why there aren't 125 really fast cars on the "top forced induction" list.

What's really funny is how you used to say on Ls1.com all the f-bods you owned were 13 sec or better. What did the new owners of the cars get them to run 11's? <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0"> <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">

Not that its relevent, but just for my memories sake:

1993 M6 Z28 10.81@129.5
1993 M6 Formula 11.70@123
1994 M6 Z28 11.84@118
1994 A4 Formula (mostly stock, never raced it)
1998 A4 Z28 11.02@123
2000 M6 C5 11.38@119
2001 A4 Z28 11.73@116

No one else finds it strange that there is supposed to be 125 450rwhp cars out there, and no one can find them? Did Incon get that CARB status yet? lol.

The person here in austin I sold my deposit to over a year ago got ONE box of parts (I guess so its harder for him to cancel his order since he'd have to ship a box of crap back?), but 2 boxes are left to be shipped last I heard.

I thought it was funny 6 months ago when he posed to our local club list with 100 members about how incon said he'd get the other 2 boxes in 2 weeks. I nearly busted out laughing. Suuuuuuure you'll get them in two weeks....suuuure.

Man, this whole Incon fiasco is just a damn shame.

I feel bad for the people that have money tied up and nothing to show for it. I thank God I didn't give Thunder Racing a call a long time ago or I might be one of those people. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

By the way Thunder Racing is great. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> I was just thinking about buying an Incon kit from them.

We know its not a great situation, I am not one of the poeple waiting for the kit, but for the ones who are, they dont need someone to point it out that the situation is rediculous, they know it. for the people who have recieved thier kits, they all seem to love it. I wouldnt mind a incon TT kit, but I'm more a blower type a guy <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> knowing the fact that the kit(incon TT) takes forever to get makes my decision on what type of forced induction to go with, quite easy.....

The 93 Z28 had a single turbo on it. I ran 12.0@133 with the turbo (very bad clutch). I was going to put an A3 in it but I got more in to my 1998 Z28 at the time, LS1s proved to be a lot more interesting. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

The people who had cash up front and demanded delivery were taken care of from what I know. I dealt with Paul @ Thunder in Nov '00 and got my kit 3 weeks later. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

I think the current situation is disgraceful, hopefully they are honoring requests for complete refunds. <img src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" border="0" alt="[whiner]" />

Edster you might find this hard to believe, but some of us run different combinations in our cars. The 10.81@129 was with a 355 motor and a 175 shot of juice. After that I put in a low compression 383 motor and the turbo setup. Why do you have such a hard on over my cars anyway? Isn't the point of this topic Incon?

Getting back on topic, don't you guys find it funny that I was 100% right about a lot of the Incon points? They never meet the delivery date (they are what 2 years late now?), never got CARB status, is a big hassle to install, for the vast majority puts out less than 450rwhp.

I'm sure that there are plenty of people out there who wished they had listened to me and regret ever signing up for the kit.

IMO they should get the CARB status or that's BS.

Two years is ridiculous to wait for a kit.
