Question Dilemma on TC

Ok I need a TC fast, but my problem is I ran out of money with this turbo setup. I was going to get an Art Carr but have heard of them break up with trucks over 450hp. If I don't get a TC soon I have to wait longer to put the motor in. (I have been waiting on this thing since April, so you know how much I miss my truck)
Now I know you get what you pay for and I need some advice on a good cheap TC or your your thoughts on the ones that I have found. I can only spend around 550.00 on a TC

List starts with the cheapest first.


Circle D Stage 1 399.00
Art Carr 2600 460.00
Circle D stage 2 499.00
FT Street 2600 525.00
PI 2600 950.00
FT TD 2600 950.00
Circle D Race (cadilac billet)950.00 I would like this one but way to much just like PI, great TC and would hold up on my hp.

I looking at 600hp with the turbo and my truck will be mostly have street duty. I go to the track once every 2 months. But I am planning on hitting quite a few FFW and NMRA events.

So what would you do, help me make a decision.

Can you wait a few more months and save some $$$? BTS makes one that God couldn't destroy on the first or second attempt. You'll never tear it up, no matter what you do, and you need good driveline quacha at those power levels, dude.

A Pro Torque TC brought me two 1.43 60' times on my last track outing. I am also just about if not at 700RWHP. They go for about $745. I can try and get a group buy which would save 10% off of that if the board would allow it and 5 or more people are interested. -Mat-
