OK ... time for reality check ... one still needs to consider supporting mods such as instrumentation (hopefully no A-Pillar set-up ), AT cooler, AT shift kit, MT clutch upgrade, boost controller, etc.
Sure, the kit will run and will run great but you'll want to protect your investment. All in all, this is still much less than back in the old days of TT. |

Wow, that's impressive, and a great price for all that power, great work guys
George, question though, lets say someone just wanted a mild bump in performance, around 400-450 RWHP. Would it be possible to get smaller turbo's and such to keep the cost down, and not have to replace the stock clutch (right away) etc. Or would price be about the same? Reason I'm asking is that I think you could probably sell a lot more systems if the price were in the $5K - $7K range. similar to Supercharger price range.

Say for instance someone produces a SC kit for 5999.00 and you buy it... Now you have to get it installed +$1500 and get a good tune +$1000... Where does that leave you? Right at the exact same price for less power!!! Go GTM or Go Home lol

Clutch life is also greatly dependent on how the car is driven. Finally, no one knows how much a supercharged VHR will cost. Remember, it has dual throttle bodies instead of one on the DE. Stillen is suppossed to be working on one so we shall soon see how they are going to approach this and how much they will charge for the system. |

Wanderleeeeeeeei Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilva!!!!
That set up is off the chains bro! Those pics with the body panels removed, tranny removed etc. are gorgeous. That is one clean looking turbo set up, no spaghetti or any of that. What are 1/4 times for it? |

I believe Christian's car is making the trip back east right now so he hasn't even driven it yet. The car has obviously never been tracked. Plus there is no way the stock tires are gonna hook up all that power anyways.

With good fuel, it'll be interesting to see how much these blocks can/will take!? We're at 611rwhp now, if the true numbers turn out being around 100rw more without any mods to the long block... i can tell you now, that would take these cars on a whole different level* |

Well, im wondering about the tuning. It was tuned for 93 but all you can get in SoCal is 91 piss water. Did they have to retune it? What are the numbers now?

I couldn't stand living in California! I love my Sunoco stations that sell 94.
