well if you would have read my posts you would understand that this is going to go in steps, not jsut at once. I think it would be very hard to go from a 300 hp street driven car directly into a m6 750 hp car. Its going to happen i nsteps s i will gradually work up to it. I want to get my feet wet with a nice kit on my stock block, then after upgrade my drivetrain, then upgrade my motor when im ready.

My PTK kit was VERY VERY complete; can't go by the pics. It came with FMIC, air filter, blankets, turbo blanket, every clamp and band, 2 new fans, new alternator and relocation bracket, bypass valve (fine for under 10lbs... so you can keep it until you forge your motor) and WG... not to mention the hot and cold piping.

Hmmm. thats the one thing i remember i didnt like about the PTK kit when looking at it. They have everything seperate. They don by chance have a full ocmplete kit? The GMR twin kit is only $6800 right now and is totally complete minus fuel. However then i need guages as well

injectors- $420
dual pumps-300
FP Guage-250
Oil pressure guage-60
Misc-500

=$8500 range so there are right there with each other. These right now are prolly main 2 kits i am considering because of the responses i have heard.... although just one from GMR but mroe to come im sure. The PTK kit seems very high quality while retaining AC and the GMR has proven high enough numbers for me plus the added fact of having twins with quicker spooling time. So its really up to me which to go with as its pretty much a toss up. However,

How much harder would it be to keep up with meintenance on the twin kit? Will it require a lot of hard work/minor adjustments al lthe time? Or are all kits pretty much turn key and run like stock once you get the dyno tune?

Turbo kits, I would imagine, would involve the same amount of "maintenance" whether it be single or twin. It all boils down to your tune. If you can find a comeptent tuner who pretty much nails the tune, you should be "turn-key" ready to rock.

You need to get on the phone with GMR and PTK this monday and sit down for 20 minutes with each company, tell them your goals, and see what they offer you and for what price. Then report back to us monday night. Thats prolly your best bet. Then you will have concrete numbers in place for which setup is best for you.

Remember, PTK includes ALOT of little things that I don't know if GMR includes. Also ask each for every little part included for the price.

I have another question. If i were to go with a single kit with a bigger turbo-76, vs a twin kit with 2 61's, would different motors be better for each one? Like what im asking is.... would a different motor set up be best for a single 76 vs a twin 61's?

single kit is simpler and no you wouldnt need a different motor for each setup...its based off total airflow.You need to read the FI stickys cause you have posted very similar questions more than once.Do what everyone else does,start emailing and calling sponsors and READ and SEARCH.Everything youve posted so far has already been covered,just gotta find it.Good luck.

NO, boost is boost. Personally, I like a single kit over a twin. a 346ci motor and 76gts = killer on the street and it is in your 750rwhp range. Lag is basically non existent and boost comes in at roughly 3100-3200 rpm's. I've only been in one ls1 turbo car, its a T76-S turbo, GT42 housing I think. Car boosts at like 3200-3300 and rips. Definitely fast as ****, breaks the tires loose, has 661rwhp. Maybe he can chime in for you
