From what he's said the turbos aren't going to be much of an improvement, if any, over a stage 3 Incon, so some of the interest will subside.

If you want a kit that bad AND have the cash, just stay in touch with him. If a hundred people have said they def will take one probably only 30 will come forward. Money talks and....

I would like to be, but finances won't allow it at that time (getting married in july)

The only reservation I have is them going with a BMR K member, and not from a company like Griggs (who supplied the kit for the 4.6 mustang incon cars)

BMR K members don't have a perfect track record.

BMR kmembers suck....i only got 45000 miles on my BMR kmember so far on my 3900# daily driver that has never seen less than 700rwhp....I think you heard about a FEW probs and not the BUNCHES that were/are sold with no probs. Lee at BMR is a class act.

The twin turbos have just on a 100 lbs per minute mass air flow so I would not be surprized to see around 850 to 900 rwhp from the APS F body twin system on the right engine with thorough tuning. The turbine side flow is quite large also so these F body turbos will work very efficiently on larger cube LSx engines.

I think it will be a nice piece and for that price is hard to beat so I am going to be all over this offer and I think alot of people would agree with me but hopefully I can be one of the lucky ones that gets to see how it performs and i would definitely have a nice write up of the whole system and how it performs and whatnot

Well I think the APS kit will be superior to Incon because of improved manu-process/materials/engineering and because it's available new from a viable company.

I'm just pointing out that current Incon ownwers who are looking for a quantum leap in potential might not find it here until larger turbos can be retofitted - like you did

ahh...gotcha...you are right...not a big enuff leap for current incon owners. I almost didnt go OFI kit until i saw they offered a t-6 flange which would offer a big enuff leap over my incon.

Watch the vette kit results....should be a preview to what the fbody crowd can expect

I don't think i'll be one of the 1st 30, it isn't my style to be the first kid on the block. I want to see people who get the kit and give their real comments on it.

Biggest thing APS has going for them is that we finally seem to have a reputable company at an affordable price. I have yet to see a negative comment on the Corvette Forum about them.

My only concern is the single IC on a non-modified bumper for a TA. I am real skeptical right now about it's efficiency.....Other than that it is hard not to get excited; great power, cast iron manifolds, twin turbo, stealth appearance, retain all accessories, and success in the LSx world

I agree completely. I am very much wanting to see pics of the f-bod kit and see the cold side setup.

I'm sure that you will find the enginering behind the F body twin turbo product to be very sound and the quality of the APS twin turbo parts to be first class which is always out aim. At the $5495 price inc free door to door freight (the freight cost is over $500) this fully engineered intercooled twin turbo system with precison Japanese Mitsubishi water cooled turbochargers has to be the bargain of the century imho so I sincerely hope that you're one of the lucky 30 customers who takes advantage of this awesome twin turbo deal.

Newer engineering and the kit will be available. There are plenty of folks out there who would order an Incon kit if it were still being manufactured. I think those folks will be very happy with the APS kit.

Congrats Tony. I think you'll be very happy with it. There is nothing like TT's.

And in my humble opinion too.

After all the Mickey Mouse turbo vendors that have shanghaied our members over the last few years I'm frankly breath taken that some people are being so unappreciative about a company that has a good track record and who is spending big bucks doing R&D on a turbo kit for a car that hasn't even been made in several years. Good grief.

While some of the earlier designs had issues, the latest BMR crossmember seems to be doing quite well on the street.
