    4" down pipe.

    i guess you can't read then. i was talking to jim about the kit with the 4" down pipe. jim replied appropriately. i was also asking jim a few other things about my car such as max injectors for stock rails and if i should run a t66 with less boost instead of a t60 with more boost to produce more power with less rpm. tom.:stickhit:

    If they do I am sure it will be in the future but you can get the same performance from the single just as you can from a twin setup.

    No immediate plans, though you never know what may happen down the road.

    Also, money talks. ;)

    BTW, we just installed a single, eh, I guess you can call it a "custom" HP setup on my car this weekend. Stock motor with a B-cam and we're shooting for deep DEEP into the 10s.

    Numbers after this weekend. :cool:

    But twins spool up alot faster than a single turbo...so I've read. Isn't two small turbos more efficient than one big turbo? That seems to be the talk of many professionals at least!!

    Try not to get off the topic of the thread if you have questions like that take them too the technical board. But as for what I have researched and heard no that is not true at all.

    Fits pretty nice in Buffhomers car. No problems with it being close to anything of danger to it.

    Blow_Me, this shoud answer your question about the type of kit. I thought the same thing you did until I remembered seeing something posted by Buffhomer. I went back to the previous page and found this. Does not look anything like the other HP kit pics, though.

    I don't know, but I like the standard kit look better. Looks a little cleaner.

    Hey guys,this is not our street kit is is just a kit we threw together for Buffhomers car with stuff we had laying around. Our street kits are much cleaner and jet hot coated. His car has no AC, or PS so that kit would work well for him. Our street kit is and will remain the same as seen in other cars throught this forum. Thanks and God bless.
