WOW, that's awesome. 300 WHP is my goal, to say the least. 350 WHP is a dream.

I'm aiming to go for 15 PSI or 17.5 PSI to acheive 350 WHP. I will eventually make the internals SOOO STRONG. How does it pull and what's the quarter mile time?

I mean its not going 2 really make a difference getting a 20G, i wouldnt waste money on it really, there wont be much more of a gain, i run low 13's, but that was with stock tires, i would get high 12's with some nice tires on there...it pulls really nice.... the other day my friend has a GTO 6.0 400 hp, we did a 3rd gear pull....i pulled on him really nicely, 4th gear i just flew passed him

no not really there about 400hp, but only 320whp, because there rear wheel drive, and there about 500-600 pounds heavier then the tC, also, at 12boost of boost you slam in ur sit, and im at 315whp... and lighter car, im going to pull harder

How much is all that? List the price for each. Looks GREAT tho. I'm sure that water/meth kit costs a lot. I hear it's hard to fit in the engine??

The Siemens 630cc injectors are only $220, and you can buy an EMU for cheap. Its not hard to have more fuel available.

I buy nothing but RC Enginering. Cause tey flow what the advertise. mine flowed 440, 440, 439, 439. cant beat that with a 10 foot stick you pay for what you get. PE injectors are the worse injectors to get by the way they flow like ____ and they are just stock injectors punched out to flow that much and they suck ___.

Dude, I don't believe anyone when they tell us their HP. Not to sound like an butt, but if I say I had a AWD 1,000 HP tC, does that mean I do? And anyone can photoshop dyno charts. I'm really picky about internet claims. For some reason, I just think Turbonetics is the best. GReddy is too cheap. I follow the saying, "YOU get what you PAY for." Nothing wrong with being careful. PLUS, Turbonetics has a Warranty. I rather spend the extra grand for that warranty as if some parts failed and costed near a grand or more, then it would be well worth it. And ZPI and Dezod were never heard of in my life until I joined ScionLife. I've heard of HKS, GReddy, Turbonetics, Turbosmart, etc. but NOT ZPI or Dezod. Not saying they're cheap. But, I don't trust them. Never even seen them in a magazine, ya know?

You know in the 60's there was a guy named Carol Shelby that no one ever heard of too...

Actually, there have been multiple articles on both our parts, customers cars, and then advertising. With SEMA in the recent past, you can also find numerous online articles regarding that build until press is officially released. Dezod also had a good article as well.

You definitely should research a little more. Magazine press isn't always where it's at either-you need to research current customers, videos, dyno charts, lifespan of kit, warranty, etc. to make an educated decision. Some companies spend all of their energy and money on building "magazine cars" and leave their customers with zero parts-I think we all know an excellent example of such companies.

I believe he still has the 440cc, I am sure they are going to go static on him, if he doesnt go bigger.
