Alright cmotorsports some more questions:
Do you rerout the heater lines to get them away from the turbo? (i noticed in the picture it looks like you do, just wanted to make sure)
Do you need to rerout any of the air conditioner stuff, or does it do oaky with the turbo next to it?
What is the outlet size of the turbo on the intake side?
(I guess this depends on the size turbo, but do you have numbers)
What is the inlet/outlet size of the intercooler?
Does the downpipe run on the inside of the frame rail or outboard the frame rail?
Is it possible to reclock the intake side of the turbo to make it exit in a different position?
This last one is kind of unrelated to the 'kit' and I don't know if you can do it, but how much would it be for just the exhaust manifold setup? i.e. crossover pipe to passenger side and the passener side exhaust manifold to the turbo flange?

Keep those questions coming
whoa!! i asked if there was a biger bader kit coming out yesterday and he basicaly said no, or more like you never know. but not yes we are working on one. i want a hp monster, can you give any more info on the monster kit, like turbo size, and down pipe size and header configuration?

427, there isn't a 950hp kit, the turbo itslef can support something like 900+ flywheel hp but the rest of the kit probably can't. i see that 3" down pipe as a significant restriction even if it had a cut out on it just a couple of feet back but that is ok, after crunching the numbers i dont think i really need 1000hp just on turbo.
i just talked to seth, he said the max effort turbo project is not going to happen any time soon if ever. the only reason they would do one is if he decided to put one on his truck and then they might sell a couple of kits. he also said there is no diference in kits for 4wd or diferent wheel base kits.
i am going to go ahead and get their tuning, i didn't realize they changed that many parts especialy the part throttle stuff.
no headers yet

A.) 4.8

Assuming all are stock engines.

you will kill a stock tranny before you reach the limit of 92 octane pump gas with even the 4.8 i would think.

At sealevel in the SE, but with a stock 4l60e, and 93 octane for street use of course. It should be safe enough to run for an extended period of time 50,000 miles without anything major breaking, of course that depends on how you drive.

you will KILL that tranny with a 4.8 tuned to run on 93, just going from my experience you will be able to run 8-9psi on 93 with the intercooler. all the torque a turbo makes will kill the stock tranny FAST. there are a few guys whos trannys are lasting awhile but most die quickly.
i wouldn't buy this kit without planing on a built tranny.
