Default Kentucky Turbo and Performance

For those of you who didn’t already know, I have joined on LS1Tech as a Sponsor.

Kentucky Turbo and Performance

A little back ground on myself. I stated building custom one off turbo setups back in 98. Mostly on Fox body Mustangs. I did it to prove to myself that I could. It was the shear enjoyment of looking at the end result. I built my first LS1 F-Body turbo kit on my now parted and sold 98 Z28. I got several PM's and calls wanting a similar setup to that car. Hence I opened my own shop. I run my shop on a part time basis with full time hours. I still have a day Job. I work as a Industrial Maintenance Tech at Magna. We build Ford Truck Frames.

I do my best to run my shop on a basis of controlled growth. I have seen to many turbo shop start up with a promising setup only to disappear with $$$$$ and no shipped kits. I will not go down that road. I will turn down business to keep from out growing myself.

I have secured a distributor ship with Comp Cams and their subsidiaries. Brian Hogan will be dealing with most of the parts sales. I will have a email address and contact number up for him soon. I will also be making several updates and changes to my website to reflect my new business growth.

I look forward to working with the members of LS1Tech to achieve their boosted goals. Check out my website, and shop car build/progress threads. Let me know what you think. I will be making a lot of changes to the 2000 Z28 Shop Car along the way.

As of right now, no AC. I can do a setup that keeps the AC easily if you don't mind pipes running under the k-member. Its really not that bad if you use a tubular k-member. You just gotta keep the pipes tucked up tight.

I just look at the kit on your site. Looks very well built, congrats on that and on opening the shop. Hopefully it'll be able to grow into a full service shop that you can spend all your time at.
If you want to really show the kit off send me one for free and I'll take pictures and video's of the build up. LOL
