So what times did you get at 15psi. What is your exact modslist again? Lets have some more details.
They need to hurry up with those upgraded intake ducts. As said in think another thread I think Peter must be sick or on vacation or something. He has not got back to me on buying APS fuel system or on the status of the intake ducts. Usually he gets back via pm pretty quickly.
I think might have to fab up something for the intake ducts even if its not the best solution until APS comes out with a more permanent one.

I have been looking at this kit and following some threads for a while now, but I get hesitant to pull the trigger without any alternative support say like from a US vendor. When you guys say Peter doesn't get back to you always it seems to be a bit of a red flag for me.
I remember buying a set of 14* SBC Pro Action cylinder heads from Auckland, New Zealand direct from Pro Action in 2001. They also built me a custom supercharger manifold for them. Waited 9 months for these when they first came out, manifold ended up breaking 3rd pass. Working aound the time zone difference was a pain in the ***. Waiting for calls back were too. Needless to say they are no longer around.
Are communications as bad as they are percieved?

Well not usually. Peter is on the boards quite a bit and does usually get back with email and pms, at least to me in a reasonable manner,the time zone thing screws things up a bit.
I think he is away on vacation or sick hoping the former.
I had only professional service from APS in buying my kit. They took a deposit which worried me a bit as GMR speed went down on me a year or so ago and go zip back on that 2000 bucks.
APS delivered the system actually think it was a week ahead of schedule.
Follow up is where it seems to be a bit weak. I like many others want to run my turbos at higher boost maybe 15psi and want to get the upgraded intake tubes that are supposed being made? I was also told they had a speed density tube..that would save looking for one. And do want to get the APS fuel system advertised on the website but so far can't order it as Peter hasn't got back. Or mabye its out of stock..not sure .I guess could try calling APS but then the time thing..and they have dealers but last one I talked too seemed very clueless.

Only made one pass at 15psi, ran a 6.62@109 in the 1/8th with a 1.7 60ft. Hoping to get some 1/4 mile times tomorrow. Hoping to get the 60' time down and maybe squeak into the 9's. The car still needs some tuning but it's not doing too bad for a 4100 lb car on 18" DR's.
where are you going to be at tomorrow? Rockingham?

Jim, Right now we are concentrating on producing the complete larger twin turbo system to satisfy customer orders (complete with larger turbos) and then in the near future APS will plan to produce a number of the larger turbo option for the current twin turbo system.

Peter while you were producing the f body twin turbo kit did you or anyone else have plans for the larger turbo version? If so you guys should of been telling customers to wait if they were running more than 370 cubes. I bet almost a third of the current twin turbo customers would have waited for the
higher hp version.
