Default INCON Help.

I am trying to decide what to do this winter. I have definitly decided to go with the W2W Ls2 boost ready engine but I guess my question is if the 403 they offer is to big for the tiny INCON turbos? I have a goal of 800rwhp. Should I just get a different turbo kit for the bigger cubes? Should I just rebuild my 346 and keep the INCON kit? I really don't know what to do I love the kit but a big single or bigger twins sounds good to.
TIA
Mike

The Incon kit is probley good to about 360ci.
If you have the gt37's you could get 750rwhp out of a 347.

Keep the stock cubes with the Incon. Stock GT2871r turbos will break 700rwhp. Upgrade the wheels and break 800rwhp.

I bought my kit from Cablebandit, and it has the GT30 turbos in it. He made over 800 rwhp/800 rwtq on his 346, but on a 403 engine the power dropped to 750 rwhp.

I dont think the incon exhaust housings flow enough for an engine much larger than a 346

Yeah I have whatever the biggest turbo they made for the kit. This is the kit that use to be on the CETA on here. I think his name is Mike Brown? It just needs some TLC I think. How did your power curve look with the 403 compared to the 346 and how much boost r u running? Race gas?

Big cubes + custom kit = YES
Big cubes + Incon Kit = NO!!!
Big cubes + the biggest upgraded Incon turbos = NO!!!
Stock cubes + the biggest upgraded Incon turbos = YES

Your pick.

Yes they did. In fact it's almost a folk lore on here LOL. I feel lucky to have one sometimes. I just wish the turbo size wasn't limited.

the 403 will be too big. You'll still be making good horsepower with the incons and that engine, but you'll be choking the turbos and won't be making as much as you could. If you do decide to get rid of the kit though, shoot me a PM, and I'll take those ligenfelter actuators off your hands.

Since anarchy mentioned it, I too would also be interested in a couple parts should you decide to get rid of your kit.
