As far as my car, it's totally not part of the equation in what this kit is capable of, nor have I EVER claimed it to be. In reality you'd be surprised to know what the real source of my issues have been, but that's something for another thread another day.
But, I see that you're content with the status quo, sticking your nose in everyone else's business and down talking whatever you're "told" isn't possible. People like you are so brainwashed by marketing that you tend to stifle intelligent conversation... it's unfortunate that your mindset is the norm in this community.

2). if you read Ref (1) you will notice that i am a hypocrite and you shouldn't really listen to anything i say
as in the past.. i really don't have to formulate a response to argue with you, its easy enough when you constantly contradict yourself in the same posts. Apparently your time off from arguing with me has taught you absolutely NOTHING

it sounds more like marketing ploy when someone tells you 500whp is all you need, or they tell you need a engine (like the one quoted) is what you need to run of the TN kit.
congrats on the numbers... very impressive and gives me hope to break 500whp with the TN kit. Stock TN kit with built motor. I plan on upgrading kits down the road, but for now i want to squeeze the most out of the TN kit...
congrats again!!
congrats again!!

It was no marketing ploy. No-one told/sold me that I needed this engine for the TN kit. I selected the parts I wanted knowing that I would not be running this TN kit forever.

Most people here assume that the OP doesn't know the kit wasn't made for those power levels, despite the fact that he's stated in this and another thread that he knows it's not the "best" for achieving them. Yet, somehow people still feel the need to talk down about what he' done.
I think the point has been made, and beaten like a dead horse long ago. I say it every day. The kit has limitations but was never intended to go there in the first place.
You'd probably be surprised in knowing what turbo kit(s) I recommend to people when they approach me for information. I'm not going to recommend anything that doesn't meet their needs.

isn't that what you are going through now?
if you had any concern over my 'overbuilt setup' .. its because i wanted a setup i could run 550 whp daily.. you have never heard me cry about dyno numbers or a goal to reach anything.. i'm pretty content with my current setup..
but the biggest question of the day is?
are you currently content with the current state your car is currently in?
dougs setup
-"sick' engine check
-700whp capable turbo kit check
- 500+whp low boost pump gas tune check
...i dont see how that is mediocre, i still cant believe people still fall for the 450whp power rome and doug car has

You'll soon find out, and I'm sure your e-***** will suddenly feel quite inadequate.

Oh, and 700whp on a greddy kit... you're the one doubting 500whp on a turbonetics kit?
(consider that a rhetorical question)
