APS TT full kit!
since this is my bad luck.. any recommendation on something relyable and proven like the APS kit?
am trying to stay away from custom kits.
car has a forged 427cid motor that will hold up to 30# of boost with no problem.
any suggestion/recommendation from a vendor/expert
thanks

So on pump, at 16psi you should see 850rwhp to 900rwhp using a 6266, about 1000-1050 with a 6766, 1150 with a 7275 and 1250 with a 7675.
Bigger turbos do increase lag time but with a 427 you are pumping a lot of air, a 6265 would spool nearly instant with the 7675 coming alive at around 4-5000rpm
I would not use the TTI kit, you are limited to 6266 turbos which at full kilt has made 1200 rwhp but requires race gas. A better match to your engine would be 6766 turbos. Not only does the TTI kit limit the turbo size due to placement (tti told me the 6766 wont fit as it will touch the frame). if your gutsy you can chop the frame and get a bigger unit in there but now you are stuck with a tiny T3 flange which is maxxed with the 6266. Now you cut and weld a proper T4 flange and install a nice turbo and you think your set, except you are pumping tons of air through 2.25'' pipes and your IATs sky rocket, so you keep timing down and make no power at all.
Companies like DKT make APS style hot sides which can accept a 6766 turbo that will make you 1000hp on PUMP gas and about 1300-1500 on race gas.
Since you already made a decent investment on an engine I would complement it with a properly sized turbo, Vengeance racing had a pretty cool build a while back using a 457 engine with a custom turbo system
I don;t think the TTI kit is bad, I had one but never installed it because I knew I would want more then 1000. If you will be happy with 850 on pump and close to 1000 using meth or mixing race gas then you have the perfect system
To make 1000hp reliably on pump wont be cheap but the smiles will be priceless
If you need help picking parts or want to talk setups i've been in planning/ research mode for over a year so Im sure I can help

that was exactly what made me too hesitate towards the TTI kit --- > limitation to grow (power wise) although its a great kit
ill be more than happy if my car made 700rwhp pump gas but i wanna see over a 1000rwhp with race gas and meth.
am still waiting for a vendor to offer me a nice decent kit that will take me safely and with no issues to my 1000rwhp goal.
And sinister. U don't think twin 67666's will hit his goal on not race gas??
Tonight we made 802/810 on 8.5 psi on twin 6266's on our kit. ( not a sale just tech comments. )
So I think properly built motor with 6766's will easily hit 1200. Inspector12 isn't to far off with his around 18 psi.

What is your fuel and drivetrain setup? Also what is the intended use for upcoming build? I just ask because 1000hp seems to be the point where things go from expensive to scary
Have you spoken to anyone for build quotes? There are many qualified shops on the forum. When I got serious I messaged all of them and used their responses to decide who to work with.

I'm at the stage of emailing my questions around to gauge the reactions. So far have only tales to George at TTI.
Good luck on your decision.
