Default APS vs TTi vs HP performance

I am going to twin turbo setup on my 08 zo6 but don't know which one to go with

lets have a debate

hp kit seems good for expandabilty but the OEM quality on the aps kit is a big advantage

if in 2 years your gonna do all the bells and whistles then go for the HP kit

Why? Aren't the APS and TTI kits both good for 1,000 rwhp with a supporting fuel system?

I also have a forged LS-7 putting down 750 RWHP 694 RWTQ with 10 pounds of boost. I am running a F1A Procharger with an 8 ribbed system. I still have room to crank it up if I choose to.

I dont wanna sound like a pro myself, but the turbonetics have their patented ceramic ball bearing which according to them significantly reduced turbo lag, also ask yourself how much power you want to make because that will answer the question how large of an exhaust housing diameter youll need for your set-up which will increase/decrease lag, however i need a month till my TTi kit reaches ill tell you if there is lag at all, cause I doubt any lag seriously

The Garretts have a dual ball bearing. Honestly, I can't imagine feeling the difference....

Easy upgrades, by far the most efficient kit design, to name the 2 big reasons...

Look at power below the curve as well, its easy to generate high HP peak numbers.

The TTi's generate hell of power below the curve, APS 2nd on the line, and HP obviously 3rd in line with the huge turbos.

I disagree with ayousef - The CERAMIC COATED ball bearing advantage goes to the Garret turbochargers - which APS employs in their kits. These turbochargers spool INSTANTLY with 427 (or more) CI...

I'm currently building my second APS car - in addition to that, I've owned a TTi kitted Z06.

They are both exceptional kits and both kits are capable of producing over 1,000 RWHP given a built bottom-end and enough fuel. Way more power than 99.9999999% of us will EVER use!

I think the nod goes to George (at TTi) for customer support as I've been treated like a third-class citizen by the folks over at APS. They are not super nice on email or phone.

no idea man, I picked that up from turbonetics website, with their patented ceramic ball bearing technology (not ceramic coated) which according to them reduces lag by up to 30% etc... No idea man!

Do you have any pics or graphs for any of your cars? It would be nice to check them out.
