Default Hinson Kit???

Anyone ever get any numbers or opinions from guys that are running them? There was a post a week or two about the kits and we were waiting from info from people who were actually running them and how they liked them. Thanks, Jay

I'm interested too. It seems like an awesome setup and I can't believe people haven't posted anything about it yet.

Strange to me too that they aren't getting much traction.

Yeah i have one , I waited a long time to hear some results from tha kit never heard anything so i took a chance i got one but all i bought was the hot side and i built my own cold side because hinson couldn't tell me for sure if the cold side would work bacause mine is a a4 there test car was a 6 speed.I dynoed the car a few months ago and had some backpressure issues but that's fixed and now i got valve spring problems so no good numbers yet.Like i said before it's a good kit that same kinda setup has been proven in the past in fbody's and truck's just not in corvette's just look at parish's truck the kit is almost the same as his and that's what sold me.

They need to get on the ball and start marketing and cranking these things out. Also make whatever changes are necessary for the sixth gen's. It's a turbo kit for the price of a blower kit.
