JPC's running turbo now....
yup and will never go back
Didn't Kelley switch to a JPC Turbo? :lol:
yup :rockon:
ill get some dyno sheets to post the power difference between turbo and blower
not all 600 HP cars are created equal! :rockon:

Whaaaa? I know that lolas far as what it costs to run 8's, there are more factors than just slapping on a s/c.
Now we're getting somewhere. Add the cost of headers, midpipe, kmember, tubular core supoort, t bolts, sheetmetal expansion tank, fab and tubing to head unit,etc, then what do you have? Not a 4699 kit that runs 8's on stock headers and kmember. Possible? Maybe. Does ANYONE do that? Nope. So as the point we were making, once you start making big power and going faster, a blower isn't gobs cheaper than turbo kits by the time you buy supporting mods. As it looks I'd add ID's to my kit, and the pricing and parts list would be pretty much the same as my base kit (with an intercooler about 30% larger ;-) ) That was the only point being made. If you want cheap go buy nitrous and a few bottles lol.What it retails for is around $6200, as for what it can be bought for. That's for a pm.
Yes, almost 1200rwhp w the filter on lol. I was referring to the customers assembling thier cars right now. They won't have the time to test before then. New setup bugs, tune, converter, etc. The other one, last I heard spends a ton of time in Mexico roll racing his ass off lol. He ended up with another toy for the strip. Might not be this event or head to head, but people are gunnin for ya. That's the fun part about being out front. But we'll gladly remove to target from your back soon. :beer:As far as "testing", didn't that kit make over 1000rwhp over 2-3 months ago? how much testing do you need?
Are all these turbo kit's including fuel injectors or is that 7k base price without?
Arent you still testing your setup? I thought it was down since norwalk?
I'll be at bowling green for match races, like I said. All these turbo cars are welcome to show up. (again). None of them seemed to make the call for Norwalk either.

I would say headers would be more than likely needed, but not the other stuff.
So doesnt that make the kit 6800-7000 once you add headers & a YSI? Thats the same if not almost the same as a turbo kit...
This is getting OLD lol
Yours is also a far cry from a street car now also. But again never said those parts were NEEDED. What I said was anyone looking to go that fast puts it on anyways. I know I said that. Oh wait I did lolagain, who says that tubular k member, core support, etc.. is needed. I would say headers would be more than likely needed, but not the other stuff.
I think with decent air, we will see 8.3's or better at bg without spray, that's a far cry from just breaking into the 8's.

You can keep lowering the price like you're allergic to money, but it's still just not that much cheaper if any.. Still have the problematic expansion tank in that kit you listed? Add 200 for the fix. Still have a mid pipe to buy. 150? And until we realistically see a street car run 8's with no tubular parts, add the cost of that, too. Much slower guys still buy the parts also don't forget. But for serious, at that level that intercooler isn't gonna cut it with that head unit. Mine MIGHT squeek by since it's so much larger, but I wouldn't try it. I'd rather intercool to maintain power, then be happy because it doesn't pull timing. That's how you blow shit up. What does it cost to upgrade to a better intercooler? Possible?not even close to that
I could set you up with a package for $5834 shipped.
YSI, 8 rib up grade, smaller pulley, competition inlet, full set of lt headers
I'd like to see the turbo kit. Do you have a website? Pictures?
It seems pretty clear to me that the Paxton kit even with the 8 rib upgrade and headers is cheaper than a turbo kit;-At least until someone builds an affordable one..
Quite Darren, it has to be more exciting than polishing a car over and over that doesn't move. But I did laugh my damn ass off at your last exhaust vid. So unless you have another one let us have some fun lol. But it's about info. People think blowers are always cheaper and it's not always true.
