I'm about to pick up an 11 or 12 gt most likely to do a turbo build with. Car will be stock short block automatic with a circle d. Jpc kit seems priced right and seems to have a better reputation than the edp kit around here. I just haven't seen much as far as ease of install or directions and how good they are. I've been messing with ls cars and don't know a ton about the coyotes that's why I'm looking for something pretty straight forward. Any opinions or anything? Goal will be very low 10's or high 9's on pump.
How hard is the install on the jpc kit?

9s on stock internals and pump gas..dam thats a fine line to ride there ( that would make me nervous ) beings that your staying on stock internals can i ask why turbo? vs other FI ?
To me turbo is the best of both worlds and I like the adjustability with a boost controller. Plus plenty of room to grow if I end up doing a short block down the road. E85 is not available where I'm at but I would most likely run meth. I'm talking squeaking into the 9's not deep. I'd be pretty happy with 10.20's or so on pump on stock internals to be honest.
Not sure about the install but you might wanna look hard at CPR's kit. I believe it has a larger down pipe than JPC's kit and you can retain your front sway bar. Prices are comparable.
from what i have researched i notice alot of complaints on the single turbo setups and stock internals ( cams etc ....) loosing power early in the rpm kinda flat lining instead of climbing all the way to redline ( compared to the twins kits available ) ? ever read anything about this ? just curious as well
Ive read about the edp kit falling on it's face at high rpm but I think they have that fixed. Seems that cpr is the best single kit and then jpc from my research. I thought about going front inlet whipple as well but not as much room to grow.
PM me if you have any questions on the install.
It's fairly straight forward. Most time consuming thing is welding the drain bung in the oil pan

Will do aaron thanks. What do you recommend for fuel system for my goals? BAP and id1000's? I could always just add a little 109 at the track if it meant squeaking out a 9.
Typically a BAP and ID1000's will cover most peoples goals on a stock motor.
I recently did a stick shift car that made around 750 or so on MS109 with a stock motor so he could run a 9 second ET

Are the goals realistic Aaron? Seems to me like somewhere around 700 thru a auto with a circle d with a lightweight wheel and tire combo could get deep 10's. It'll either get welds or racestars most likely.
I have done the install at home on jack stands. It is not that hard at all. As Aaron stated the drain bung the worst part of it. They have a directions that they can send you when you buy the kit. Read them first and take your time. Only thing I would suggest is have them replace the passenger side cold pipe with what they use on their race setup. The standard one makes the pipe extremely low to ground. I have already had to replace mine but I am on BMR springs. Also get a boost leash controller and do it at same time.
Brad, Im in Cordova and finishing up my single kit now. When you get enough posts to pm shoot me one and we can exchange info!-Steve
Highpsi, id love to see your setup one day. Let me know when you get it done. Are you ever at test n tune?
Most every week that the car isnt apart. Should have it buttoned up and tuned in a few weeks.
I went with the CPR kit. Its built like a brick shit house and has perfect fitment to the millimeter it seems. I'm about 16 hours total in it and just need to run the coolant hoses. Very drama free install if you have decent tools and knowledge. Dustin goes way above and beyond on install support and makes himself available nearly any time of the day.
Brad, if youd like to get in touch search Facebook for Bluff City Mustangs and make a post. I'll see it and comment and we can exchange info.-Steve
Ok I'll do that. Car looks awesome man I love the color. I haven't seen it at the track but I look forward to seeing it make a pass.
thanks. Traded my red 2011 for it because i had to have the deep impact blue. I quickly was over it and wish I had my red car back lol.
