I think you will find the MSRP of the C5 twin turbo system very attractive for a highly engineered and very complete intercooled twin turbo package. I hope to have firm pricing by the end of September.

Will you be using the same turbos on the C5 kit that are on the C6 kits that are being installed now? Do you forsee an option of larger turbos for guys with forged lower compression motors and or larger cubic inches?

Perhaps, they might beable to offer the ability to adjust the size of the turbos when you purchase the kit. This way they will just use the turbos from their APS C6 package (turbos might need to be re-clocked?) for a C5 with a forged LS2.

Ohhhh so purdy!
And for those bitching about no brake cooling ducts. Unless you have DRM extensions the don't do ****. They're more like tire edge cooler things in the stock configuration.
If you really want cooling you can run race hose to cut mobil 1 bottles under the front bumper... works great.
Also... if you're a track nut FI is the wrong way to go.. build a nasty NA 427 of 402.
