what about the hp performance kits? they just finished up a LS1 F-body kit. They have alot of mustang and corvette kits too. Seems a pretty good deal.

60mm garret turbo
all ceramic coated tubing
BOV
WG
A/A intercooler
255 in-tank fuel pump
42# injectors
tubular front k-member
silicon fittings
clamps
battery location kit

$4,995

From what you guys are saying it sounds like a good price.

That sounds good except the 60mm Turbo....... thats even to small for a stock motor......

I am still working out my business plan to include sponsoring LS1Tech, but I have worked my 6.0L manifold setup down to $4200 with the Turbo, WG, BOV, FMIC, Hot and Cold Pipes, Couplings, Clamps, Manifolds, and nuts and bolts. Its all about keeping overhead low. It can be done.

I only have 3600$ into my 3.8L. I payed for a local shop to fab the hot side stuff, I bought a very good quality intercooler(used e-bay), made the coldside pipe out of an old exhaust system, and some rad hose(works great as long as you flare ends). Tuned it myself. And had a ****** blast doing it.

Guys, APS will release a new production intercooled twin turbo system for the F Body around July this year and I'm very confident that APS will be able to meet the price, performance and quality expectations that F body owners expect.

The APS F Body twin turbo system will be similar to the Corvette and GTO twin turbo systems in terms of production quality and completeness (See link below for other GM twin turbo systems) and once the F Body twin turbo system is in full production you can expect a 7 day door to door delivery service from time of order.
