    the race kit necessitates the use of a tubular k-member, no acessories,5'' down pipe, custom intercooler built for your car and a BIG TURBO. Thanks for all the responses.

    We are taking orders and ship within 14 working days, half up front and half when shipped. Our order of intercooler cores came in on monday and the rest of the kits are complete, we have 10 in stock and have a self impossed minimal of 5 which we have been able to stay above thank God. Give us a call and we will get one out to you.

    88SSP,

    You should ask Jim about the ex-patrol they just finished putting a HP street kit on. COMPLETELY Stock engine putting down 400+ rwhp numbers (I believe those were uncorrected number's at 5,000 ft. above sea level too :eek: ). Quite impressive, not sure on how long transmission, head gaskets, other related parts will hold up for the long run, but it was looking real good.

    The motor will be fine, the problem is the transmission putting up with 660ftlb rwtq.!!!!! Mine gave up the goods first pass!! Anthony:D

    A couple of questions:

    1. Does your current street kit also work on 351's?
    2. Will you be offering a kit for DOHC's (4.6 & 5.4) anytime soon?
    3. When will your website be up and running?
    4. Where are you located?

    We will have to make minor adjustments to our kit before we can sell it for a 351 based car. The 4.6 kit is currently under construction as well as the web site. We are building our own site in our off time, which isnt that much but I am going to make it a priority.

    We will be going to our local track to race the Cobra next weekend. We put in a new SPEC race clutch, Z-code T-5 and a two-step. Hopefully we can get down the track with all the gears this time!! Keep you posted on e.t's,mph, etc. Also on how the stock shortblock is doing!!! The block is O-ringed so the boost should eventually hurt the block, we'll see. Anthony:D

    Tyrant--they are located in Roswell, New Mexico.

    In case anyone cares, here's the kit (almost) installed on that bone stock ex-police car that was mentioned:

    That pic has me pumped. If it wasn't for the turbo, I would swear that was my car. I am getting way too excited. Let me know what the numbers are on that car in stock trim, will ya.

    MMM, Turbo (in best Homer Simpson impersonation, LOL)

    Hey buff,

    How big a turbo did you get?

    How comprehensive is the kit?

    That mustang in the picture made 405HP & 476TQ uncorrected, it made 481HP & 530TQ SAE on 12 psi and 22 degrees of timming. There is a complete run down of our kit on the main page of this site under the heading of turbo kits thanks to Trentk. Our kit does come complete and the car above uses our base 60mm turbo. Keep up the questions I love to here from all of you.God bless

    Those numbers were achieved by the stock motor? Heads, too. Now I am really pumped. I just wish I could order one today. It will have to wait until September or so, however.
