Just a quick update...for the Florida guys and girls. We are planning a Meet & Greet for Sept.12th at our shop here in Ft.Myers. More details to come and I will post it in the SE USA regional section with all the details. Just have to hope that this daily rain stops soon.

secret??? As in its a good design you dont want stolen. I only ask for the quality the way the it hooks up to the oil pan shows alot of attention to detail and typically shows quality of the kit since if its not right it will leak oil or you will have to rig up your own setup with AN fittings to make it right like it should have been the first time. I would like a PM on the setup Thanks ALot

I take it no one knows?

Well no one really knows the limits yet. We will probably all push the 600whp level and see what happens for a while. I am sure people will push the limits a little more and more to see what it will take.

Ouch. Wouldn't want to be the owner of that car! I know I'm going to be getting your kit. For certain. Why? Because you are giving the same amount of HP as Hennesy and Lingenfelter for far less cost. Your personal service seems to be on target as well.

I just wish that I wasn't so adamant on keeping the drivetrain warranty for at least 3 years. That said, should I decide to start doing smaller modifications...what would I be able to do that will be compatable with this kit so that I don't waste money?

For example...I don't want to get a CAI if its going to go to waste when I get your kit down the road. Same thing goes for headers since your kit is going to be running off the exhaust mani.

Would I be stuck with just doing like a cat-back for now and maybe non-engine things like the suspension?

Do non-engine mods build it from the ground up..and remember power that you can't get it to the ground is useless!

+1 or also you can do things like a full exhaust.


I would leave the car stock or add an exhaust and then just wait until I put a turbo kit on it. Anything else would be a waste of money to me.

Now when you say full exhaust...do you mean headers-back? Or cat-back?

I'll do the Pedder XA coilovers and short-shifter anyway at some point. Just wanted to know what sort of engine / drivetrain options I had available to me given the intended build up with your kit.

Thanks for the prompt reply as well. I'm really tempted on buying it now and sitting on it...but I'm sure you'll have another sale in the future.

Thanks! I would do a full cat back exhaust system and thats about it. Our turbo kit will bolt right up to the factory exhaust placement so it will fit as well on the aftermarket one. Give us a call if you have any questions.
