Default All in one place, list out what you have and what you paid

Below list out what you have. This will help others and some people in the market looking/consider kits help them make a more educated decision along with what to expect rwhp wise.

1. What type of system did you get (TT, SC)
2. Type of car your running (Auto / M6 / Z06 / GS / year)
3. Price of the unit (if not a package deal and/or if used will help show what market brings)
4. Price of the install
5. Did you get any additional items such as Meth / Tranny
6. What power did you make at the wheels
7. Did it meet your expectations and regrets (example wishing you got a larger SC upfront)

The only stipulation is that you can not post who you bought it from and and installed it. Since this site has a lot of awesome vendors.

I can add items to the list if needed.

1. SC - V3 s-trim
2. 08 Manual
3. Just under $2k Mostly used parts. (I have a thread about it. Not normal pricing)
4. Self install
5. Added meth @ $400
6. 608/555 on a pretty safe tune
7. For a bolt on car I am happy. Always want more power. I know I'm not far from the limits of this little blower. A lot of shopping and haggling to get a setup this cheap. Plus had to do a little engineering of my own to finish. Was it worth the savings vs a newsed kit? Probably not for 90% of vette owners.

So, what does yours say? LPE did not do my work, but I really like them since my had a LPE C4 and some LPE mods on my C5. The windshield matches my fascia

And, my car is in the shop now getting a APS Twin Turbo kit installed at a different shop

A lot
Too much

Only thing I regret is not going big up front. 2" headers, 10 rib, mantic clutch over ls9, cut down radiators/etc. Basically redoing stuff to make big power when I could have just don't it up front. Just spending money on upgrading stuff that is upgraded already.

Dealt with tons of major shops. Off the top of my head there are 2 I would never go back to, most of the others are good.
