Wow, congrats! Now you really have a good use for that digital camera. I'm sure I speak for everyone here in saying that we want lots of pics.

How long until the kit ships?

they get their headers from someone else, they expect a shipment of 10 more pairs in about one month, so something like 5 weeks to me door, he told me to call him in a few weeks and see how the headers are coming cause that is the one part they cant control, he is hoping they show sooner.

Congrats Parrish, man am I jealous. I wonder what all that turbo torque would do to the 4L60E in my truck. Keep us posted on the progress.

whoa, just punched in the 490gm/sec, that is over 600 fly wheel hp at 14psi and 100octane, and i think this was on a 5.3. remember he said this was definately pushing it for 100octane and not recomended.

How would gas mileage go along with this kit? And would they be able to manufacture one for a newer body chevy with a 5.7l LS1 in it?

gibbs6, physically, the LS1 has the same dimensions as the 5.3 or 6.0, so it should work just fine.

to answer a few questions, they sold their first run of 10 all ready, they have another run that should be ready to ship in one month.

any t series upgrade is $250 up to the t72, the t76 is another $150, so $400 for the t76 with q trim and a .96 AR is what i have coming, he didn't think the ball bearing option is worth any adition cost.

no fuel pump = -$80
no injectors was something like -$360
no discount for no tuning

the kit comes with stainless headers and cross over pipe, coated down pipe. coated everything else, polished turbo and natural finish intercooler, it will look just like the pic. the coating comes in about 10 options, black, a gold titanum, light and dark grey, reg, white... a bunch of others. i got the black, i like the stock look.

the down pipe is coated, then it flanges to a high flow cat and pipe that conects to your stock cat back, for an extra $60 they are giving me a 3" cut out in place of the cat and coating it all the way back to the cat back. he said i will be able to put in electric cut out on it.

some numbers, 8-9psi on 92 gas, they ran up to 14psi with 100octane on a 5.3(i think) and pushed the maf to something like 490gm/sec, i need to look that up but it is alot. he said that was pushing it for 100octane and wouldn't recomend it.

they are working on something to get past the maf limit but are not ready to give any details on that yet, sounded like they may have something to sell before too long.

we talked about alot of stuff so i hope the details are right here. with this turbo and single 3"down pipe and full exhasut they have seen 950fly wheel hp with this exact kit. he said the exhaust is hurting it prety bad at that level i bet it is, a cut out should help alot.

he said there would be a little lag with the 76 on a 6.0 but then i told him about the converter and he indicated there would be practicaly no lag at all.

i am hoping for high 11's on pump gas and low 11's on 100octane, then who knows what from there, i dont really want to start with the leaded fuel. and the single gss340 along with the rest of the fuel system will be running out i think.

whew, my heart is still pumping, the guy that answered the phone there really seems to know his stuff, answered all my questions in more depth than i expected. i asked him about potential problems like a cracked header and he said they will fix it, when i mentioned that if this hapened i would hate to have my truck down for weeks do to something like that he said they can send me out one and just charge me a core till i get the other one back. great answer!

he told me more, i have to think about it all for a minute
YES! very exiting, this is gonna be sweet!
