In light of JPC's recent track success, how many have decided to go turbo over a s/c?

if you don't think every vendor is competing on every product opportunity when they see it and shopping pricing, your sorely mistaken.
I could go on and on, but this isn't the venue for it.
I don't think it is as prevalent as u assume.... the other vendors are busy actually working on customers cars in the shop that they need to pay to support

okepoke:: its OK, its all in good funThanks Terry. Yeah, a lot of us having been doing this for a long time, with breaks in between etc, but we all started out in the late 90s racing Modulars and have a lot of fun. Forums are sometimes a way to stir up the rivalry and get a little fun going, but in the end, we have all known each other for a long time and have respect for each other.
Back on topic, I wouldn't mind switching out my Whipple for a turbo at some point. We shall see
You know my feelings on this Jon, time to step up to the Snail! lol.

LOL. Slagburn's arm might be broken with all of the arm twisting I'm doing to get him into a Turbo. :beer:
Haha, Duece made a Funny! :lol:

lol, that's really a yes and no though.
yes, you have guys working on the cars, that are paid to work on the cars, and the shop business shouldn't be dependent on web sales to support the shop costs.
just as you have sales associates paid to work on the web. The shop income shouldn't be used to support the web sales personnel. Anytime you have different divisions to a business. Those divisions should be separate / profitable from each other.
And we just finished up a pretty trick Raptor Roush install, with 2 more Paxton 5.0 installs, on the schedule. :rockon:
I agree and disagree... Internet has to support the shop at times, and the shop has to support the internet at times.. Things don't always work out perfectly.
PS- I would LOVE to take a ride in a Roush Raptor!!!
it's pretty sweet.
as far as a business, those things may happen, but in a properly structured business, they shouldn't.
Look at a dealership.
Inside a dealership you have
New Cars
Used Cars
Finance
Service
Body Shop
Parts
Accessories
Each dept has a manager. If one department isn't making a goal / profit consistently, that manager will be fired.
You get multiple departments not making their goal, dept managers, gm's will be fired.
It isn't one dept's job to support another.
Again, not saying that stuff doesn't happen, but in the grand scheme of things it shouldn't.
Looking to put an in house dyno in soon vs renting a dyno. I am looking at all the costs of used vs new, plus installation, and looking at what I "think" revenue would be for the in house dyno.
Based on that, i'll put a plan together and decide what direction makes sense business wise without tapping into internet to pay for it. If I don't think it will pay for itself, I won't be doing it.

I'm so glad that the domestic crowd is seeing the light and now at days you see MANY more turbo'd v8s. Before, like 5yrs ago, you'd see one in a blue moon. Now, when you see a boosted v8, there is probably a good 50/50 chance that is turbo'd.
So with these new finding of JPC with their turbo are 8's the new normal for the guys that have forged short block, fuel system, suspension and converter? Seems once you have these things that the turbo will put you in the 8's :shrug:
Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it. Lidio is doing great. Doing more business in his new shop then he can handle. He tuned my 2014 gt/cs and slapped some parts on it. I had totally forgotten about Archer. I do remember Bob Green. Do you know we lost Mike Tymensky?
I am afraid to get started down this power adder road. I know me. I will be going after you, then Beef and JPC....lol I really like driving my new mustang with the air conditioner on and listening to some tunes.:banana:

You can keep all that stuff. That's how real street cars roll
I wouldn't say it's a 50/50 chance of being turbo more like 3/10....give it maybe another 5 years and I would say it would be a 50/50 chance. Once I build next year it won't be long until I join the turbo crowd, hopefully the turbo market will have a battle royal like they did with the Paxton kits this past April. :beer:
Time will tell, I don't think 8's will be the norm though. That really is stupid fast and most places requires a stupid amount of tech equipment. A few people have been low 9's to 9.0's full weight without a lot of work. Jon Lund's car with their twin kit has been 9.0, stretch at a 9.2 with the on3 kit.
Who knows though, what people have been doing with these cars has been progressing incredibly fast. It is a good time to be a mustang owner looking for some boost
I am a Paxton owner and proud to say that going that route allowed me the little extra to justify a new MMR Pro Mod block. So later on down the road when I have more money I can make big power with no worries. I hope for 9's as my norm..
Waiting on price drops or used ones
^ I would be very careful buying a used turbo kit. It can cause a lot of headaches and setbacks due to missing small things. Specially if it's your very first time turboing a car. Might be worth to start with something fresh, new.. with instructions etc.
I have a friend who would help me he was the first hellion install at home lol, but despite that I can see where you're coming from.
