Default OBS truck guys, in here..

We're working on a new twin turbo kit for the old body style trucks and SUVs.. This one is kind of a one-off, but we're seeing how much interest we can get in it if we were to reproduce it.
How much would you guys pay for a kit like this, all 304 stainless, twin T04 turbos, twin Tial wategates and BOV's, and twin air to air intercoolers.
Its still in the works, but you can get a basic idea with these:

not a totally new idea but i still like it. AutoFX in El Reno, OK did a TT454 in a bagged and body dropped 98 dually...they never did get the fueling quite right though. Good luck

If I was still running my OBS I would have jumped on this. I have no idea as far as where to price it. The fueling issue would be something I would like to see or hear about also.

How much hood clearance do you have to have to run a setup like that? x2 on the fueling issue as well. That's going to need to be addressed with the stock injection. As far as marketing a kit like that too, most OBS trucks are getting pretty high mileage by now, I'd have to wonder how likely it is that someone is going to pay what it would take to put out a kit like that. Not trying to be a dick, just trying to be realistic. Wonder what kind of sales supercharger companies see on OBS trucks still when compared to the NBS ones?

Can't remeber who used to make one but I know a guy who had one on his truck, cast manifold and all. He also had fueling issues, ended up taking it off. But looks good to me. I think most guys are swaping in new motors to the OBS trucks.
