Thanks. My previous GT500 with similar numbers as what I am expecting out of this kit in its base form ran 10.70"s @ 131mph on M.T drag radials, so i am hoping for just a little better with this kit. Of course, i'll need some seat time to get familiar with the power delivery and the best launch technique before I can expect to better that time with the new car.

Well, IAT's are a little bit higher than the tuner would like (it's pulling out timing out the wazoo), so were going to go ahead and install a meth injection kit on it tomorrow/Friday and put it back on the dyno. :(

i was watching a thread a while back about a guy running a TVS with a turbo on a silverado. like your explanation above said, it really helped his average power even though it only peaked around the same. when my truck's done, i'll have to come see this monster sometime

So did the Hell-raiser kit go on with no issues ? Fit wise ? I have heard that the regular kit was real nice for GT's and the fit was good. Also did it come with shielding for debris underneath ?

The install was said to be the best out-of-the-box kit that they had ever done. There were no issues at all on the installation other than a couple of minor adjustments on the tubing from the turbos to the throttle body. This was because the kit was specifically designed for the '07-'09 GT500's and there were a couple of changes to the anti-lock brake placement on the 2010.

Yes, there is a skid plate under the car that protects the hardware. it will not be shown in the pictures because if it is in place, you can't see the good stuff.

But of course Man, thats not bad at all. I wanted to go turbo's on my GT, with the underneath kit, but I was to afraid of:

1. All the rain in S. Florida(MIA)

2. Losing my Warrranty !

Man, taking the hit on your warranty worth it ? Would be a hard call for me. But I have read your car will be a beast with that setup. A guy has a TT setup on his Terminator...Has the original blower and TT's but he fabed it. Nice to see a kit out there doing it.

Well, knock on wood, I have never had to take any of the new cars I have purchased in the last 10 years in for any powertrain warranty work so, yes, I am okay with not having it. it's not like they void the entire warranty if you make modifications. if a window quits working or something like that, I'll still take it in.
