Quote: The kit was already built though. The install has taken this long. I hope they get the tuning squared away quickly and I'm looking forward to 1/4 mile times!
the install took less than 2 days. the rest of the time the car has been waiting for space in the shop. with only 4 lifts and a shop full of customers cars every day it has been slow getting to this point.

the kit is so well built any backyard wrench could install it in a weekend

Sure David, I got your number. Plus I want some of that mid night action we had last year and the year before.

Yes, the kit was on in just over a day. Had to wait a couple days for more clamps on my electric cutouts. Couple more days for my painted valve covers.

Tomorrow Pro Efi is flying in to tune a TT PCar on e85, then tony begins live tuning my car on e85 on Tuesday. We did drive the car around the block , and I will say the twins are very loud lol.

Boosted Atlanta will be there to video the tuning session.

Two days is fast - remove SC, down pipes run oil feeds and returns, boost and exhaust piping ..

Any details on if anything is sacrificed? Movement of SBC? Loss of Airmatic etc?

Good to see more turbo cars coming along … Can't wait to see the dynos and 1/4 times … :

Sounds like ProEFI is wired in is that right? Stock computer not able to run it? Good luck guys!

Yes sir, Garth is tuning 320dreamers beast today. Super cool cat.

My car is being tuned on the stock ecu, NO standalone. Nothing has been sacrificed in order to put the kit on in terms of creature comforts or safety.

I am sure my bro Elliott knows this to, going to these TT kits saved at least 100lbs of weight upfront.
