motor size forged 6.0
turbo size 80mm
down pipe size 4"
boost amount 10-16 psi

made 580 rwhp at 10 psi, and only went up to 607 rwhp at 16 psi not to mention I blew the cross pipe up 3 times..... before I had to rebuild it out of better material. I now have opted for twin 76s

cam only 5.3
MP T-70 .96 hot side
3" downpipe
3" exhaust
6.5psi

made 475rwhp/530rwtq and went 12.51@111 on a 2+ sec 60' and cratering the motor at 1000'

same kit on a forged 347ci
Precision 78mm .96 hot side
3" downpipe
4" exhaust
8-14psi, never dyno'd but was CONSIDERABLY more power, probably about +100/100 on 8psi

same kit on a bone stock 4.8L
precision 78mm .96 hot side
3" downpipe
4" exhaust
8psi
no numbers yet but I'm guessing it to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 450/475

the turbo kit is coming off for good probably next weekend. For the money:performance ratio I was most pleased with my 5.3/70mm setup. I ran it with a FLT-5 60E and Yank SS3600, the other combos are with Yank SC3000's and built 4L80E's

probably, theres a thread on it somewhere. I dont think Kyle intended that kit to be ran that high psi before he sent it out.

This was the first set of hot pipe I sold on the Internet and I offered to make things right on the cross over and was turned down

The failure was in a radial fracture area and since I found those areas weak, I have put gussets on ALL the crossover in those area since this kit. I haven't had any fail since this first one I've personally tested mine to close to 20 psi a few times and no failures,

Yep but since his, I've fixed the issue and no more failures. Also, there was a post not long ago with a Trick pipe with the same breakage on the driver side mani flange,

I PERSONALLY THOUGHTS

It's man made and NO man is perfect... i personally have heard GOOD and BAD things about EVERY MANUFACTURE.... some times its the product, some times its the installer, some times its the higher expectation...

all and all i will be using KYLES kit with 4"dp and a PT88 and a 408ci iron block and with the basic setup PARISH8 made over 1000rwhp on 24psi (i believe) which i don't plan to run over 18psi (stock heads)....

KYLE sounds like a real stand up guy IMO... thanks Kyle for everything you have done for me so far and everything you will do for me in the future!!!
