We have a customer working on doing this with the APS kit, so I will check if he ends up making flanges.

They do, and you get a bottle of vaseline with them as well.

I had a kit as well, ended up selling it because I didn't think the turbos could get me into single digits at altitude.

Makes for an awesome street car kit though.

no way you would do that with an Incon, even with upgraded turbos. I would say 130-135 at best with the car dialed in perfectly.

The thin air is killer.

I sold it to go custom because I knew it wouldn't get me there, but I would keep the kit on if it's a true street car. Just damn hard to beat. My one regret was selling it, would love to put it into an SOM WS6.

i could do it with twin 50 trims. and use most of the incon kit. im just wondering who has tried it, or not. if the incon kit is mainly exhaust side limited then i should be fine, if it will flow 800whp worth of exhaust down there then it will up here, i just got get the compressor side to do it. on fire went 9.9 at 141 with this kit. so i figure if i upgrade turbos to gt30's, port the waste gate port, and run 10-1 on e 85, in a slightly lighter car i could make up the altitude. but i though it would be easier and more quarunteed to up grade to t3/t4 turbos. my gear is set up to top out 4th at 145, and i have the suspension clutch and kinda the tranny.

I thought the guy that bought my kit was in Kansas??? If I were you and wanted 9 second power I would run stock cubes and sent the turbos to Blouch and have them upgraded to -12 wheels...you'll put down 850rwhp at sea level and have plenty of power at your elev to run high 9's if you can hook it. Incon is a badass kit.

knock that power figure by about 20%, and take into account the additional charge heat from the thin air....heat transfer across an intercooler is also somewhat diminished (density).

Gary was running in 12Psi managing 119 trap speeds through an automatic at full weight at about 5000ft DA. I'm guessing T-1 is at 7000 on an excellent day, and mid to high 8's on an average summer night.

Chances are very unlikely. It is a badass kit, but at this altitude you're not in Kansas anymore

I would call Blouch, ask for Mike. Tell him what you are working on and he can probably take care of you.

Another company I had good luck with is limit engineering in arizona.
