they are good to around 600rwhp
and for the poster. did he build this kit using the stock manifolds?

HP kits have a ball bearing turbo, they tend to make a bit more power than the 60-1's....but they are similar. Hell jason's stock longblock 94 cobra with HP's stage 1 kit with the 60mm made 567rwhp and 647rwtq on 15psi with him tuning it himself.

i should have read closer. we built a stock block tb to manifold kit with an ss autochrome 60.5 mm. race weight of 3200lbs, 12psi, c4 with a 3400 stall it went 11.5@116...we would have went for more but the stock 150k valve springs, well, you know....
i was going to build something for my car, but instead put a nitrous kit on it tonight. going for some 11's wednesday if the clutch holds. i went 12.9s with bolt ons in ok weather. 13.0s on street tires in good weather

Id rather have a broken (for now) Z than a 13 second turbo Mustang but thats just me
Also you will never blow it if you drive it like you did in the video grandpa-congrats to you. I think you missed the point of most comments though. The fact that you have a turbo V-8 that right now is slow isnt why your not getting love its the video. You hit it for like 2 seconds and the flyby's werent good. If you would have video taped your car stock and put up better shots of you accelerating through the gears or flybys where we can hear your car better people would have liked it. Have fun with your 300whp Turbo 8cylinder

I know that's hard for you to understand, since you have to pay somebody else to tune your car for you
Like I said, the video wasn't supposed to be great, that was just my buddy filming me while I was doing some WOT tuning, and I figured I'd throw up a quick vid of the car before I start actually putting out some real videos. I didn't even post it here or ask to, my friend did because he figured some automotive enthusiasts would appreciate it, not say how slow and stupid it is.

Its just a freak'n video, I don't know why these guys are hassling you over it. It sounded pretty good, next time have you friend get on it a little longer so we can get a better idea how fast it is.
