Awesome! You must be thrilled to see it running. How loud are the turbos when you're accelerating?

355 WHP? Think how much faster it'd be with some duct tape on the TB inlet!!

$5600 is a lot of cash for that setup. I don't understand how they can really expect to sell many of these. You can buy a twin intercooled D1 procharger for about $3600.

Chill out dude. I was just stating that bang for the buck goes to the centrifugal blower. I wasn't saying the turbo kit isn't a quality piece.

Not upset, I know turbos are more $$ but they make power with less PSI! also just a blower wont make 350rw I also know the LS1 kits are the *****!!!

I'd be pissed if I paid 3k for a blower and it didn't make 350rwhp. My little old P600B should make 400ish.

I cant see a blower making 400hp with only 5.5psi. Im not as up on the LT1s but ive seen ls1 with 4psi blower($4000) making 380 or less, Put a compleat kit on with tunning, fuel system all includded and you'll make 420-450, ($6000) Or get a turbo kit such as the CAS and it comes with everything, soup to nuts, turn key ready to run and make the 500+ mark! So realy turbo or SC you will make power but to compare a soup to nuts kit with a blower (then tac on the rest, headers, fuel, tune, ect) you break even! People dont think of that. eliminate all the extras you get with the CAS kit and your not paying much more. The only differance I see is personal preff, some like Turbo some like SC. Both are great!!! Both cost $$$$$$$$! SPEED ANT CHEAP!

same here..........why risk blowing your engine up for only 350rwhp........that could be had with boltons and a cam and be much more reliable.

Guys it's not his HP numbers that are nice, it's his torque number... I think you should name your car "Traction Killer".

My suggestion would be to port those heads and get a special cam so it can breathe in better and it'll even those numbers out quite a bit. (HP would go way up for sure.)
