Has PTK stopped making the Gen 1 version of the hot parts? I see the Gen 2 is $1900 bucks for an uncoated version which seems a bit much IMO.

 

all the tubing is bigger..and in better placement.

 

Still seems a bit over priced. I could see if they were made of stainless or if they were atleast coated, but $1900 is more than I paid for my 4340 rotating assembly.

 

You're going to make a lot more power with the turbo than with a stroker.

It's a business and IMO PTK it's the best option out there for the LT1 unless you want to do a custom kit....then again, if you do a custom kit you can deal with the fitment issues and fabrication time which PTK has already invested who knows how many man hours into.

 

yeah i agree to a point i guess....well i know ill be paying for em...i talked to dalton today and he said the wait time is about 4 weeks without coating...with coating is about 5 weeks..plus 399.99 for the hot parts. He also gave me a breakdown of everything if your interested i can email it to you....for the A2A breakdown...it came out to a few hundred more than the whole package but its better for someone whos tryin to save up and buy pieces at a time...

 

Sure, send it to me. ChrisGainey@bellsouth.net I'm not really worried about the intercooler, I have a nice big front mount I need to install already, and I can make most of the associated tubing. I just don't want to make another set of headers. The ones I made for my truck were about as much fun as I can handle.

 

Me too please traveller_25@hotmail.com I'm also piecing together a kit slowly but surely and PTK is the way to go for me.

ok i sent it to both of you. im tryin to find out if i can get the hot parts then buy this intercooler that has the outlet endtank on top. If i can use the ptk headers with that intercooler and just make my own piping..ill be very happy.

 

if you could send it to me as well. dustan5868@***.net thanks

I agree I'll make more power with a turbo than with a stroker kit. I'm just saying, I payed less than that for my entire S trim setup. I'm kinda weighing options for the 383 that's being built right now. Looks like I'll be sticking with the S trim or going to a T trim. I wanted to do the turbo, but building the twin setup for my S10 is about to kill me, and it didn't cost me $1900 bucks to build my own headers either.

It's not that I'm being cheap or anything, but I've seen cars posted on here with the Gen 1 kit that made 800+ rwhp. I'd be more than satisfied with those numbers. I just don't see how increasing pipe size is worth an extra $500 bucks.

 

well.. i talked to jose and that 355 with the t76 made 828rwhp on 18psi and at 23psi it made 987rwhp...trust me..its worth the extra couple of thousand for that much power..not to mention it did it on stock heads!

 

plus it had a 150+mph run in the 1/4

 

That's what I'm saying, all that was done on a Gen 1 kit with the smaller tubing. I really don't see why the cost of the kit went up $500 bucks.

 

The largest issue is that they moved everything as well. Personally I think from a performance/fit standpoint the 2nd is superior - but it has several very strong advantages aside from the 1st gen which I have.

1)Larger Primaries
2)Larger Crossover
3)Crossover pipe is forward of k-member, thusly oil pan is not limited (try getting your average deep pan on there with the crossover where the stock y-pipe goes)
4)1st gen doesnt require a bmr k-member, but it makes a huge difference. The 2nd gen ptk is more stock friendly.

IMHO I'm plenty happy with my 1st gen PTK parts.
