Check this one out, then make sure you don't buy one unless they now come with all the parts and instructions. Bob

Why recommend a kit from a manufacturer that clearly has problems fulfulling kit orders? There are guys on the Corvette Forum that are still waiting for parts (> 6 mos).

Current kits that have been out for awhile, tested and acceptible lead times:

TTI x
PTK
STS

In-house only packages include:
LPE
FLP

Expect to spend at least $11K installed (incl. fuel upgrades) for even the DIY kits.

Check out the Corvette Forum for more information. There is a thread that goes over this exact topic.

I don't believe I recommended them at all.

Well maybe I should have asked why even reward a terrible vendor with any consideration. There are alot of kits out there that don't even merit mentioning, due to poor performance, customer service problems, unreasonable delays or just plain poor quality.

Didn't sound like a reward to me... Yes, it's consideration... of a special kind: Negative feedback... And people should know the negative feedback, when there is some, of ALL their choices.

Bob does alot for the LS1 community... It would be a show of ingratitude to suggest otherwise.

I'm not an ATI guy, I'm a turbo guy, and I'm nowhere near his shop. As an LS1 owner, Bob chimes in with very helpful "heads up," and I appreciate that.

He's given me alot of helpful advice... and I'm sure others as well.

I've had excellent results with my TTi Stage X kit. Turbos are hung low. Very stealth.
