Chris: Haven't seen you in AGES!!!
8000rpm: the kit is gonna run around 5 grand installed. But if there is a group buy or some sort, it might even cost less!!! If you guys are interested let me find out the price from Larry tommorow on my way home from work. As I know of (correct me if I am wrong), The BBSC costs about 6500 uninstalled, Comptech and Gruppe M for 10K, Bell twin another 10K, then if Larry's kit go for 5K or lower, is this a steal or what??
I am not saying which type of forced induction is better or worse, you really have to see for yourself.
Just another impression I got when I ffirst had my turbo kit on about 6 months ago. Since we did not put a boost gauge on, we really couldn't tell what boost we were running at that time. The car was a total rocket, almost made me crap in my pants!! Later we found out that it was running 12lbs, and had to tune it down a little.
I want to let you guys know. The turbo kits for Sinbad, Chirs, and I can all be called prototype turbo kits. The unique thing I like about Larry's turbo kit is that he designs a "custom/one of a kind" turbo kit for you. Some ppl, like BURBEL, may want the turbo to be stealth and this can be done!! Also some ppl may wonder the setup like mine will have problems with the cops, tell you the turth, haven't recived a single ticket. Cops drive by my car all the time and give me thumbs up. A cop also stopped me to check out my engine bay...he was like, "what the GDSF#@$@ is that"! My conclusion is that, the turbo kit is not for everyone. Some ppl like other ways of forced induction. However for 5 grand or less, you can achieve a daily drivable car that does not lack in power, along with your on custom turbo kit.
Hope this helps guys....
JACK
