Default Watch out fellas, it's about to get wicked!

Found this surfing around tonight.

http://www.proturbokits.com/news/newsDetail.asp?id=78


Gonna find out what it will cost first, then decide from there. Already know it will make power! (check out "Sal's truck") I would like to see about 700 streetable rwhp. The power in my sig is going up soon too. Going to bigger heads and cams and a electric water pump. Probably gonna turn up the boost a little too. Not sure how the fuel system is gonna hold up though. May have to run new lines, rails, and a pump now just to support the new stuff.

Did you also see (i dont know now about the truck kits) but the system "WITHOUT" the turbo is 4000 dollars....

Sounds a little steep for some piping and an intercooler

Welcome to pro turbo kits. They do make good work but I've customer relations issues in the past.

Don't think they would use an air to air intercooler on ther Lightning. It already has a very efficient air to water system. With an upgraded heat exchanger and larger capacity resevior, they work extremely well. If I was builing a kit, it would utilize the stock IC. No intercooler should help cut the price pretty dramatically. I would think $4500-$5000 would be fair if it included the turbo. Hell, my Kenne Bell was $3k and the upper intake was $600. Thats just a bolt on piece, no special tubing, IC, ect.

Most likely they will use the same upper intake manifold like on the cobras.
