Numbers look good. Anyone else have one? Would love to hear what you all think.

Thanks,
Chris

Had one

in 2004, when the new 3V's first came out, I had a custom setup to help their R&D for the kit. Was assisted by Crash ( DEREK ) and them at Trixstersracing. For having to draft up everything myself with the guys at texasrearturbos, the bends, cuts and so forth, it was fairly simple. The self tuning was a pain, no baseline at that time or anything to compare with. I loved the setup, there was no lag due to the V8 having really good low end power from the getgo. All was great til I blew the motor playing around, i am sure thought that the ACTUAL kits have a good tune that comes with it. I can only imagine how much easier the install has got to be now that the kits have come out. Like I said, mine was fairly simple and that was with us measuring, cutting and bending the tubes ourself at the local exhaust shop there. Good luck, I think you will love it, don't know which I love better, the Turbo or my new Whipple. Both have there own pro's.
