Power Adder Options

[Doug Hatton]

^ No thanks. I think the Cliff Notes I've come up with would be:

I love the turbos... the negatives would be cost of the kit, more intense install and concerns about underhood heat.

KB - love the fact that I could avoid doing a converter and still cut good times. Install would be pretty straightforward, cost is on the higher side, and I'm not seeing a ton of people sharing their experience with them.

Paxton - love the lower cost, install will be easier, but concerned about needing more stuff to cut a good time. (Boss IM, converter, maybe gear). Lots of positive reads on installs, but most are running Boss IM, converter or are manual cars.

The single Hellion kit that came out a year ago was an untested pile of shit that caused people nothing but problems. Haven't looked at their twin kit yet, but I don't like their quality. There are several other companies working on twin kits that I would look at before Hellion.

On3's kit looks nice and is well priced below any S/C kit you will find... Haven't seen any reports from anyone that has installed one though, but they have a thread on Corral about it.

no converter needed

[Doug Hatton]

Yeah, I'm thinking anything other than a PD power adder will require a converter, gear or both. Even the turbo would probably need one.

I am a huge turbo lover and I choose KB for mine. I am super happy I did and would do it over. The KB supplies an insane power curve and can make huge power with the blower options that are offered for these cars. My car drives like stock cruising around, stock gears, stock converter, when you get on it, it makes instant power and it feels great. Then at the track it will do a 1.4 60' on 18" drag radials.
Either way you go let me know, we are running a lot of sales for the holidays. I'm sure I can save you some on any of your options.

Hellion Twin Turbo Tuner Kit - $7295 from Power Adder Solutions

With Fords warranty options on their whipple kit, I think for me the best choice is the Ford Racing 624 kit. Now I know this isn't the power you are looking at, but it's an awesome choice for a daily driver.

I have Roush mufflers on my '13, and a Hurst shifter. I'm going to do the Brembo brake upgrade, wider wheels and probably Ford's adjustable suspension kit first. Then I'm going to install the whipple. I figure I should have this all done by this time next year.

Mine has a Procharger p1sc, Stage II 80lbs injectors,Kb boostapump
600rwhp and about 100 more on race gas. stock trns and converter

Paid $4200 for my kit. Plus had Hpp install and tune it. Ran 7.1 @102 terrible 60ft Shoud go 6.8's easy plus was shifting too soon.

Car is scary fast on the street with 410's thinking on swpping to 355 Car comes on very violent on the street

I was looking at a vortech or Paxton for my 12. The whipple and turbo are cool , but not worth the extra $2,000.

[Andy@PrimeTuning]

The KB, Roush, or Whipple would be my choice. Unless it is not driven much then a Turbo setup would be a decent choice, but remember that anything more complex has more chances at failure. ( More Maintenance )

[BMCSean]

Doug, do a compound boost with nitrous spray bar on the air-air, fuck the haters.

But more people will have an N/A 12 than a FI'd 12



Go shoot another fawn and leave me to my opinions. I'll give Bambi a heads up to make it a challenge for you and John.

lol John bailed, he is still sick...

Doug, go turbo
