Default TurboLS1SS, I'm almost ready for ya...

Partially based on an earlier discussion/challenge some weeks back... I ordered the kit, and now have it... Lets see what 1 year waiting for Hi-Flo and the tubular headers can do against the poor mans iron logs that came in a matter of weeks. The main point here is to prove forced induction does not have to take forever, and the stress of dealing with High-Flo is unexcuseable . Then again, even this system took longer than it should have . See you at NY International?

One I ordered last month and am installing between posting

Seriously, its not the caliber of what you ordered, but its also quick and should be relatively easy to install...

I'll let the builder chime in if he desires.

you will get raped just for talking **** about someone who has ordered a hi flo kit. Good luck to ya. I will race your *** anytime once my kit is installed. How about a 40 mph roll up to 180 mph? Sound good? What kind of short block are you running jammer? What kind of heads? How much boost are you planning on running? Parts look like **** compared to mine!!! We should bet the price difference of the two kits Just kiddin


Oh BTW that inercooler is about 1/4 the size of the one we all have!!!!!!!!

the stage 5 was slipping becuase of the provided shim. it caused the throwout bearing to hold the slightest amount of pressure on the PP, causing the clutch to slip under loads. took the shim out, and now its good again!.....i like the clutch. but the directions SUCK cuz they dont say when, or when not to use the shim, or even what its for for that matter.

the clutch is actually rated at 1200 lb/ft FYI....

and even as the car sits its def over 600rwhp.....should be mid 700s after tuning.....and if i get happy with the boost, should go over 800 easily

Easy Sparky, this was just a simple, but quality kit, not some "monster" "Im gonna kick your *** kit and run 7's"... Turbo and i are just having friendly fun w/ each other. You... well, we will give you a break seeing all you have been through. You can make all the comments you want.

Pricing ranges depending on pipe sizes, IC size and material used. I'm just looking into what I picked up vs. what I ordered now. Bottom line is the kit will run in the 5k area... give or take. They mount up front.
