Just telling it like it is..Hate people who over advertise and make statements and then later let you down..How many times did he say his kit was equal to or better than the TTiX kit and it could easly make 800rwhp when bolted on a forged motor just like the TTiX kit and it would be well tested by his engineering department before they would release it......Sales men
is what it was...Hate that ****!!! They need to offer every kit owner the "new and improved" updated intake parts for free to make it right

I think it's where it crosses under the radiator, some think it's the pancake part. I'm thinking that if it's already get a little crushed under the radiator, it could be collapsing even further under "suction". If my results on the dyno prove that this is the restriction I will be making up my own inlet pipes for me and others, well, unless Peter will hold to what he said and supply us with the parts that are holding the kit back. I hope he does, it will really make his kit shine.
I'm pretty excited at this point to see what I can pull with 93, maybe some Torco and Meth!

put me in line for the first set
2010vette,
.. its all i was trying to say from the get go.the thing that really pissed me off was that Orangecrush and Peter KNEW the results were from changing the inlets and CONTINUED post after post telling me its my heads , cam, my tuner , my engine my c/r
, basiclly trying to lead me to spend MORE money on BS parts for NOTHING!!!I understand ADam and Catek DID not and probably were right in NOt telling me as i was agressive in my comments.. but don't give me advice" check your heads or Cam"
anywho I hope peter comes through and sends c6 and c5 owners a replacement part for those inlets
either way ill be replacing them

I hope, as you do, that APS will support the C6 kit buyers as well, but until we hear from them, we won't know.
The only potential issue with the C6 kit will be that the C5 intercooler pipe placement is a bit different, and that may lend itself to the proper modifications being a bit more difficult on the C6.

I brought up the same point in a previous thread, and there was no response from Peter or APS engineering.

Even though Peter said APS would replace a Part if they found out it was the reason why the kit could not make 800 ..I really dont see them sending ALL C6 AND ALL C5 owners those metal replacement parts at NO cost .. that would be a ton of cars out there and would cost APS A pretty Penny...I could be wrong but odds are NOt GONNA HAPPEN
I'd even be willing to pay for the proper parts if it really opens up the potential of the kit.
Hopefully the replacement pieces won't be too expensive (I should think not, anyway).

as far as im concerned they would save money if they just fix the kits,because it would cost them probably more in the long run not to fix it for FREE,because of the bad publicity and all.if you send one person to say TTI that is 8000 that APS would lose.i paid my 8000 grand i just want what i paid for not to have to keep paying for other parts that should have been sent in the kit the first time. for some reason i think Peter will do the right thing. think of it this way, say you bought a corvette that advertised 400 horsepower and you found out it was only 300.its only right that chevy would have to fix the problem for free.that actually happened to ford with the 99 cobra that was advertised 320 horsepower and was not so they recalled all them and added horsepower. as far as im concerned this will tell what kind of company APS is......
It can only help APS it the long run...

To clarify again. IT IS A STOCK KIT. SAME TURBOS, PLUMING, INTEROOLERS, ETC
IT IS A STOCK KIT... JUST THE INLET IS DIFFERENT
You are a hater for quoting past posts and harping/crying about the fact that you couldn't make the power. If you had "called it" then why didn't you figure it out yourself?????
Instead of saying NICE JOB or CONGRATS, You pissed all over my original post!!! You jabbed at Cartek for taking so long in the progress posts. . You even said, “I don’t care if Jesus Christ is tuning the car, there is no way he will get 800RWH.” WELL JESUS IS JULIO and he got over 800RHW. You even said something to the fact that it was fishy or UN true and could not be done.
You could have been nice and sent me a PM and I would have told you.
You actually think that Cartek is going to sell you what they took so long to engineer after you trashed our thread? Good Luck!!! Peter has been giving you the answers in this thread the whole time. There is nothing wrong with the kit. We as vette owners in this section enjoy modifying our cars and Cartek is just a little bit better at doing it.

Cartek uncorked the APS kit , just like they tweaked the STS GTO kit that went 9's after they modified it and built the customer a forged 346 . Julio is the man
