Ordered Turbo kit

I went ahead and ordered a new HP kit this afternoon, it is coming with the twin 60s. Should be here in a couple of weeks... Can't wait.

Yea, I have a built 390 in there. I am still going to go for the 850 wheel range. Fuel system is currently a 255 in the tank and two external Bosch 44s. I am going to go down to one external though.

Do it. I went with HP because it worked well on my 03 cobra. The cobra made 670 on 13lbs. Now I just have to wait.

Are you doing the install? If so and you have any questions, let me know. 1st words of wisdom, dont do the gravity drains the way their instructions have them written up. Do a scavenge pump system.

I will have to look into it. I know my 03 cobra had a drawback issue but the turbo were really low on that kit, they were in the lower part of front bumper.

I have heard good things about the HP kit as well. I'm trying to figure out the small details before i get going on it, like tuning and fuel and clutch. I am installing a tick performance master this weekend as i have a textralia clutch that doesnt like high rpm shifting. hope this fixes it!

I would bet that is what is on his car. Biased! Although, I don't see many guys with the HP kit.

I wonder if the 60s will be too small for a 390? I could do the 67s or 76s.

60s should feed it fine. 67s would be the better choice IMO THe 6265s im running will and has mad over 1000rwhp on many setups. Depends on your power goals.

That is what I was thinking too. I would like the kit to make 850 or so.

Running the Twin HP 57mm kit on my 07 Z06 and putting down about 650rwhp at a humble 6 PSI. Still a stock bottom end so this is where it will stay for now...but I do love the setup and this amount of boost seems to be a nice fit for the street other wise your basically ice skating.
