> I really really want to turbo mine when i get my 426 this winter. I know my trans wont handle it though for shit, it’s gonna be pushing it with the 426 i should get about 560 rwhp out of it. Its so hard to spend 7 grand on something thats been nothing but problems. I’d gladly do a deal with them if they’d offer something at a discounted price and one of the best tuners for these cars who has turbo tunes down is a good friend of mine and will tune for CHEAP and lives within a few hours away. Would be nice to be able to do it but my pockets between 7,000$ for the kit and 5,000$ for the trans, just arent that deep at 22 years old.

i just dont understand why Hellions kit has so many problems with your platform…Ill ask John and see if he’s gotten any complaints. But anyways, how much did your motor cost if you dont mind me asking? longblock or shortblock? whats the comp ratio? i beam or h beam rods?
