Default Speed Inc. Turbo?

I'm a noob to these forums, and have been reading alot about turbo systems. Everything from STS rear turbos to Hi-flow systems that arent even out yet, but in all these threads that i read i don't hear anything about Speed Inc's turbo systems. Does anyone have these systems? how well do they work? From their website,and a few articles in GM High Tech that i read it seems that they are really kick ***, so it makes me wonder why noone has mentioned them. ??? Any one out there run them ??

Had mine finished last year. Love the look of the kit. Drive the car all over the place(different states ect.... no problems). Performance on this kit is amazing. Just look at the #'s of people cars that have them. There always there to help if you have any question or concerns. Its a very proven kit. Speed Inc. did one hell of a job. Any other questions? They fequent this board everyday. Also I can always try help answer some .

They only put 15psi through it and it hit 800rwhp( I was in a rush to get it back). Will be redynoing at higher boost level once weather breaks (damn winter). Only live 30 min. from there.

I would guess the reason why its not popular is because its on the high end $7300 and that does not include intercooler plumbing, hoses or clamps.....most are trying to get bang for the buck....but if I had money growing off a tree, that looks like a killer kit

They will make a kit to fit your needs. They are building me a twin turbo kit. I like the fact that I can tell them what I want and don't want. It's not a cookie cutter turbo kit. They fabbed up a twin kit on a LT1 and a Mustang that make killer power over 1000rwhp on street cars! It's on the web site. I will be posting my pics and dyno sheets as they are ready! Stay tuned.

i've seen the kits in person many times. beautiful work, period, and very proven results on many cars.

you get what you pay for, and the speed inc setup is worth every penny.

That's because on that car they didn't want a/c. On the LT1 they built it runs, power steering, power brakes, AC! sixteen injectors, pump gas and more!!!! Because on that one he wanted to.
