Yeah, I have my kit already and recieved it in a very reasonable anount time since I made a few changes in the middle of the kit build. The interenet can be a tough place on shops around here sometimes.
Anyway, Josh it will be hand full for sure. Kurt at W2W is specing out the internals now for me, then off to the machine shop it goes once I get all the goodies.
To the OP, sounds like you can't go wrong with either of your inquiries, just decide what your goals are. I wanted something capable of 1400-1500 HP at some point, so I'm over building a bit for my current goals of 1200 HP (as far as the engine goes), we all know you just keep wanting more anyway . An EWP should fit with either kit, I'm running the Meziere street pump myself.
I'll stick up my own post soon with my build and a bunch of pics of everything.
Good luck on your choice, it took me forever to decide...

I am trying to decide between the two right now, for myself. I am leaning more towards the kytp kit because I dont think that I can afford anything larger than a forged 347, and I believe that the kytp kit is perfect for that. I do however wish that I could keep my a/c, so I am stuck. Come on KYTP please finish your new setup.... I will be a test mule.

We have a new setup that's coming together shortly besides the one's that we have mentioned before. It's crazy, Josh has plenty of stuff there to keep him busy, but we have big things coming out. The setup I'm referring to will be a low compression, stock style 346 with stock LS6 heads, cam, and intake. This will be for the guys that have a budget in mind. Remember, that setup will be readily available and anyone can purchase those component without waiting. If any of you have questions, contact Josh or myself and we will be glad to help you with your setup.

For what the kit comes with, price, and being able to keep all the factory parts except the radiator and fans which OFI includes, I had to go with them! I have read that OFI takes time in delivering but I have time to get the rest of the car ready. I have seen a lot of turbo companies make outstanding turbo kits. I guess it's all in your preference

I made 693 and 743 while spinning on the dyno and only peaked @ 13 psi (15 psi normal) with the OFI kit.
This is a nearly stock cam only LS1 otherwise by the way, nothing exotic.... Car runs and drives great, no problems with the kit what so ever, 3,000 miles on it.

^^ Yikes... I hope that you plan on a forged bottom end soon, as that is a bad combo for a mostly stock motor, stock short block + 15 psi= boom.
And Josh like I said before, I would be more than willing to be a test mule for real world testing

So stock doesnt always = boom, maybe with enough time and miles and mistakes... sure.
