WRT "I was thinking of a built motor, but if I'm going to have to buy all sorts of safety and supplemental equipment to reach not even 500 whp "
I have a build block G , just installed the Momentum kit+headers , first tune on 91 octane , with conservative timing produced just over 500rwp @ 12psi on a DJ. Should be posting pics and graph within the week. The potential is there and it is not close to being tapped out at 500rwhp.

yes, local 93 octane. It comes on fast and pulls to redline!

love to see it on an independent dyno. I 'made 400 whp at 5.5 psi' which was actually 320... dynos can do amazing things.
Can someone explain how one turbo is more efficient than the two GReddys? I'm thinking about this and not seeing how one is exceeding the efficiency of two

Ruthless18x: I have no issue with the A/C what so even for now.
but I know I will have some farther in the future that's why I might wrap the down pipe
with thermo wrap and get the turbo housing boot "turbo diaper". this would solve any issue.
btw I did race with an APS TT, few houses ago. my car was all the way of
2nd, 3d, and 4th. after 5k rpm he started to catch up and then passed me.
pretty impressive for what my set up is.
and it doesn't really matters if you are TT or ST if you have the same comprising power.
2x18g compared to a GT35 would probably gives almost the same if not less then the GT35.

I'm looking for feedback about the kit. I know that PL is a good FI kit.

This is worthless, as you could have been racing an old man like "Supercharged'G" who cant drive his TT car" lol. If this kit is so good, go put it in the 11's on stock block.

Yes, that is correct. To tell everyone the truth, we have popped a few engines with our R & D Mule. The necessary testing needed to ensure our products perform up to our standards has their inevitable consequences. The few motors that popped yielded a vast amount of data and showed us the boundary that we cannot cross over. The most recent version of our kit and tune have proven performance with reliability in mind. In the end, Our R & D program has budgeted replacement engines, so you don't have to.

Momentum kits making 500+whp on built motors seems pretty impressive to me. I mean the GT35 is not by any means a big turbo, at least not for a 3.5L engine. That being said why does everyone compare twin kits pushing large turbos to single turbo kits? Numbers wise...
Good example.... Wongy's G35 made 718whp twin 67mm turbos on 93 octane. Granted it's a 4.2L stroker which helps midrange and spool. Bottom line is it's using two GT35 size turbos to make the power the single kits are being criticized for not making. I think a better comparison would be to look at Hal's GT42 82mm turbo. His 750+whp may not be at the top of the hp list on my350z but somehow his car beat SP's 1000+whp shop car in the 1/4 mile.
Me personally, I don't know what to do for a turbo kit. I've been biting my time with cosmetic things, suspension, and motorcycles. I've always been a fan of Sound Performance's setup keeping the turbos out of the engine bay but also love the show and go of the PL and Momentum kits. Not to mention simplicity, only one turbo, half the potential problems.
Guys I think we're all a little to obsessed with peak numbers and getting burned by someone who pulle on you. Since when did 500-600whp become a disappointment?
