if you could make it spool at 2200 rpm with the tcc locked and still pull to 6200 rpm and make big power, i'd be all over it.

What about making a kit that bolts on to flipped manifolds? That would be pretty easy and cheaper.

We build one like that a couple of years back, Not a fan of that look. . These will have swept runner logs.

Haven't decide on the parts list for production builds.
Like options
t3 or t4
Air/air or air/water

This customer we are doing t3 and air/water core. As usual with our kits. It will be a very clean and easy to install.

If the kit is at the right price and available next summer I might be in. I like the idea of twins because my Tahoe will tow, dd, and play. So I also need comfort on the daily drive and still have nice power to run well at the track. My concern with twins is that the cost often goes crazy due to turbo cost. Keep us up dated.

What about sellings just hot parts like the manifolds and down pipes? If the customer wants to go that route..
And any idea on how big of a down pipe you'll be able to build for the driver side?

Yea it can happen quickly. Just in turbos alone I could swing from a 500-2000+ per turbo. IC from a few hundred to over a thousand.
The idea will be to give the customer a good base kit say 500-800 ground power as a base kit. Then good for the 900-1200 etc.

With the kit we are building for this customer. Will be in the 700-900+ kit. Air/water inner cooler custom built.

No idea if it will fit a Tahoe. Building platform is an 02 Chevy.
