HallTech SLAM update...........
I know that there are some people that aren't HallTech fans, but thought this may be of interest to some. I don't think that it's too bad of a deal, considering the amount of power that it probably puts out. Besides, it is :cool: as heck. Check out the tiny alternator, and coil relocation kit.

I agree it seems like a fair deal to me. All those lil inovations are going to cost those who jump in first, but it looks top notch. I would like to get one :D :D :D :cheers:

I still think this is potentially the best engineered kit available. Also the most affordable since LPE has jacked up their prices back to 22-23k for their stage one kit. Unfortunately until they post some real world dyno numbers and track times, I think it will be difficult to justify that type of investment based just on looks.

Re: HallTech SLAM update........... (LuvmyC5)
Interesting setup I agree . However for the money at Lingenfelter You are getting CNC heads installed ($2500) plus Corsa exhaust ($1000) all for the price of $23,000. Now the HAlltech has some intersting features but its price is $17,000 + 1500 for install of $18,500. That puts the two systems at a $1000 difference in price. :flag

Re: HallTech SLAM update........... (indyblue98)
That may be true, but I don't think that the LPE TT set-up puts down 600+ RWHP. That's what I heard the HallTech does, but that's just rumor. Maybe Jim Hall can chime in here. Pretty impressive for under $20k installed.

Re: HallTech SLAM update........... (LuvmyC5)
Lingenfelter is listing a 500 rwhp at 7lbs boost + 2 years 24,000 mile warranty.
I am not sure of the Halltech horsepower , but it is at 7lbs boost also. Without the modified heads I doubt the horespower can be much higher unless the boost is altered, which You can do with the Lingenfelter if You don't care about loosing the warranty. Not able to afford either at this point... come on stock market recovery!! :mad

Re: HallTech SLAM update........... (indyblue98)
Something for everyone to consider... I talked to an ATI rep. at SEMA last week and they said that a completely stock C5 running 7lbs. of boost will put down 535hp (not sure if that is flywheel or rwhp) Either way, I still see a significant performance/price ratio going with an ATI setup vs. Halltech or Lingenfelter. (Regardless of reliability issues that the ATI has right now)

Re: HallTech SLAM update........... (LuvmyC5)
We are running 11 PSI boost every day. The purpose is to overboost our prototype and keep the production version at a very safe, reliable boost level.
The original Duttweiler welder has agreed to do our headers for us, which completes the kit.
We're changing the location of our intercooler and radiator, to allow for Dual TRIC Cold Air intakes. We now have 1 system in stock with another in production. Release date will be November 30th for the first, and December 10th for the second.
Both are Ceramic Ball Bearing units, which cost $500+ more than the plain bearing type, but spool up instantly.
I have tuned and programmed 7 ATI and 1 Vortech supercharged cars, and our boost comes on just as quickly, but is fully adjustable.
Dyno numbers will be posted shortly, but it is easy to figure the numbers. Turbocharging is more efficient than supercharging, which should show at the rear. We'll see.
Pics of our gigantic 1000 HP intercooler and Godzilla Blow-off tomorrow.
If anyone is interested, we are reassembling for instruction photos. I could post them.

Re: HallTech SLAM update........... (indyblue98)
I can't believe there are still people out there willing to spend $2500 on Heads and $1K on catback exhaust (unless it is the Corsa Ti..but I doubt it).

Re: HallTech SLAM update........... (Jim Hall)
Please post some pics of your system. I think that it is the coolest looking system on the market. There is isn't anything out there that has more visual pop than this one. I can't wait to see the numbers.

Re: HallTech SLAM update........... (LuvmyC5)
I can personally vouch for the Slam tt kit. My girlfriend and I went to California last week for the NHRA finals in Pomona. While we were out there we went to Jim's place and met him and Debbie. They are first class people and take pride in everything that goes out the door there. The turbo kit has nothing but the best parts made. I am trying to be one of the first ones to get the kit. :cheers: To Jim and Debbie for being such nice people.

I don't know the man personally, so I won't pass judgement. I do know that he builds one WICKED LOOKING twin turbo system though!

Re: HallTech SLAM update........... (Shinobi'sZ)
Where can a person get a set of CNC heads + install for less than $2500? :cry I can't afford a turbo package at this time but maybe a set of heads will hold me over till the stock market recovers. :rolleyes:
