Default If money were no object?

Which turbo kit on the market today would you opt to get for your LSX F-body? My money is on the Speed Inc. twin turbo setup but not sure who else out there makes a complete kit like that, if anybody. I change my mind on a daily basis it seems, as to which route I want to take, FI or all motor big cube. With my goals I want to achieve, FI is actually cheaper and can get me there faster at this point .

Thanks for all your opinions!

Dan

Depends on the goals. If you want 1000 rwhp the speed twin kit looks great.

For me, I am really starting the like the APS kit. I am eager to see what they do on a forged engine. I would be happy with about 700 rwhp, so the APS would fit me better I think.

Goals are 9.0's, don't care about HP. Like I said, if money were no object here. You could easily achieve your goal with the twin kit and have room to grow later, but your saying you would rather have the APS kit? That's cool, that's the opinions I'm looking for .

Money being no object, send the car on a trailer down to W2W with a big check and let them sort it out.

Let me claify, this needs to be a "kit" and that is what I'm referring to money being no object. I do all my own work accecpt tuning. A lot of shops can do one off cutom builds I'm sure and W2W has an awesome reputation no doubt which may be the route I take If I don't see what I want anywhere in a kit form. Just trying to get a feel for what people like. Thanks for your input!

If you want 9's with more room to grow then the speed twin kit would be a better choice, or like cable said go with a big single kit
