Don't get your hopes up unless you're an auto
Opinions on turbo kits?

Please. If you really want to talk like that, I'll bring you a manual turbo car that will yank you any day of the week from any roll you want.
Auto doesn't sound too bad now, my MT82 just gave out AGAIN, which I just got the car back this past Friday. So it will be going back to your hometown tomorrow hopefully to be fixed yet again.

What pulley and setup on your twin screw setup?
3 inch pulley.
Jeez. This makes me want to go turbo again. I wish there was someone's turbo car I could ride in to see what it's like. I'm in Abilene, TX right now for work. Anyone close?
I have ridden in both a Novi 2200 car wastegated making 675whp with 3.31 rears, as well as an On3 car, T56 Magnum 2.97 first, 3.73 rear on 11psi which is in the 650-670 range he says, and the TT car so much more fun to be in. Power feels a whole lot better, and the car is faster no doubt. If they changed the wastegate springs and put it on 9psi, it would still be faster than the Paxton car.
The other night when we were playing around in the TT car he turned it up to 20psi, absolutely unreal man. Go turbo, you will not regret it. I was in the same boat that you are, couldn't decide on centri or turbo but my mind is most definitely made up now on what I will be doing when the time comes. Turbo > Centri
Here's a video of the 20psi pull which actually ended up hitting 24, scary considering it's still a stock block minus rods and pistons. Car is scary fast on 20psi, more than likely making 4 digit power.

This should tell you all you need to know:
Camera 5.0: O/R mid, axle backs, Novi 2200, Big Red BOV, wastegated at 9.5psi, MT82 with 3.31's, E85, 675whp
Other 5.0: On3 TT, 11psi, T56, 3.73's, E85, 655whp
On3 car gave the Paxton car the hit

Doubtful lol. They're a pain in the ass. Had one over 5 years ago and not terribly excited about a new one. Our Facebook site was becoming pretty popular. Not 2 days after one of my admin said it was becoming valuable because of the amount of "likes," did some low life try to hack and steal it. Along w trying to hack my admin's personal and business accounts. Same w the old forum. Constant IP banning of porn and pill spammers. Or even regaining access to the site itself. Already starting w Facebook. Just got our account back last night after 3 days of being locked out from the hack attempt. Think of the lack of a site as my self preservation. Keeps me from hurting myself lol
At least CPR has a product that anyone can purchase.
Some have operated websites and lots of advertising for several YEARS ( 2011 ) that has said the (release) of a kit soon.
I was looking forward to see than that happen and seriously considered buying it.
I don't own any but have looked several *brands* in person at shows and the track. Out of those I've looked at, I like the CPR for fit, function, and included parts. The polished twins look nice but I'm not a bling sort of guy. If CPR's kit wasnt in the lineup I'd like the JPC for a single.
For twins I'd probably go with Hellion ( value/looks ) Armageddon ( wow looks, fit finish, but $$ )
and believe it or not the On3 looks pretty dang good installed and performed well from what I've personally seen but the company history steers me away.
come for a ride in my centri car, it pulls pretty hard...
I love how people keep talking about low end, and how much harder it pulls,
any car in the 9's, from a complete stop, is below 6300 for less than 1 second, less than 1 second.

People keep talking about it because centris don't have it. If they did, the torque booster wouldn't exist. Can't really down play it's importance when you sell a product to help boost the lack there of
been through this, it's just a catchy name I came up with.
I could have easily just called it a wastegate setup, but it's not as catchy.
it's designed to ramp boost quicker, which benefits torque and HP
your quickest kit out there already admitted he wasn't in the same league.
that said, again, we have some great turbo options in the on3, Armageddon, and a killer deal on the edp single!!!

Doesn't matter the name. We have been through it and it still hasn't sunk in yet. Call "the blue moon of Venus," it doesn't matter. Fact is it ramps in boost faster to increase the bottom end.
Not sure why you still what any of this has to do with a race W Dasan. You're still slower than turbos and that's a fact. He said his streetcar wouldn't be in the same league as your renegade car. Good for you. Definetly worthy of a feather in your cap on that one. Simple fact is there is no blower off the shelf that you sell that can keep up. If you need a custom front mount renegade car to beat a street car, that's your problem.
I see you've stopped jumping up and down about my car though. Demanding a "pic of the registration or SFTU."
Guessing someone set you straight and decided to drop that one, too eh?

Yeah but we had one and shut it down I'm guessing before he started his company. Nice try though lol.
Sarcasm on: You get rid of the blower for turbo setup?

I'll never tell!
Because I'm a self proclaimed cheap ass I'm in the middle of an on3 install now....

Care to share as to why the switch? I remember you saying the power was good enough for you ;-)
Lol ya its a shame the fluid kit isn't available to the public
Power was great... No complaints there.
I did, however, have issues with belt slip that drove me nuts.
I got it figured out right before I sold it and was a happy camper when it sold.
That all said... I'm a turbo guy at heart so it only made sense.
