David's TTI kit looks VERY nice. If it weren't for this one thing, I would have gone that route, and I don't rule it out for the future.
About that one thing... if we end up on a roadtrip this summer, you're welcome to ride with me.... My A/C is cold.

Not to worry. He'll be waiting for you at each bar stop when you get there.

Yeah, man.

I have a vert. Suppose I'm doing a cruise, and I'm on a highway with some cars, here in South Florida, doing 60 or 70. It will get hot with the windows up and swamp *** will begin to develop. Do I leave a giant puddle of ***-sweat on my leather seat? Lower the windows? Sure. Then everything in the car will start flying around for hours, and the top will start taking a severe beating if it's up.

Also, as is prone to occur where I live with little warning, what happens if it starts raining and there is no AC? Roll the windows up? Sure, and then all the interior windows start foggin' up from condensation. Turning on the vents won't do anything. **** that... My car isn't a race car, it's a street car that'll do some nice highway pulls on pleasant evenings with the top down, in style.

Sounds like my dad!

He used to tell me when I was a kid, "I don't work for the power company ******."

Funny, though, he worked for the water company. I'd leave the water running, brushing my teeth, he'd come to yell, and I'd tell him, "What's up now? Don't you work for the water company?"

PTK is a proven company and has been well established for many years.
Ill be ordering the PTK twin turbo kit for my z06 tomorrow.

I did of research and considered all kits, including the TTiX, and found
that the PTK was the best for my setup.

I know Daltons customer service is top notch and he has answered every one
of my questions without delay. I firmly belive that he will stand behind the product he sells.

Trust me guys I full believe that the HI FLO system will work well. The big thing is keeping production up and providing quality everytime. Are we perfect heck no but
we are proven. Our biggest thing is we are slow with how much we build. At one time we can be building as many as 25 different production systems. I hope the best for
Hi Flo...even though time to time they talk smack. This is a hard industry to be in
both for the company and the customer.

Im the one that has asked you 50,000 questions

If Hi Flo holds their word they will be the finest kit around. Plus it is very upgradable up to 5" downpipes and very large turbos.

I took the pleasure of bugging the **** out of Dalton at times, and he took it like a champ...

Seriously, his customer service helped carry me through a prolonged delivery process. His parents did a badass job on that guy.

I believe it was in the first introductory post from Bill I am pretty sure he even showed a pic with the 5" downpipe attached, because someone asked where do you even get 5 " pipe.
