Regular price $7599... are you ****ing kidding me? Seriously... Im definatley in the wrong business.
Am I missing something here? 
You can buy a complete LS1 car for the money their kits cost. And if your gonna bring up the whole "typical cheap thirdgenner" ********, keep it. Almost 8 friggin thousand dollars for a turbo kit that cost no more than $2000 to make? Thats price gouging there if I ever saw it... and yet, everyone in the thread is kissing their ass.
Oh yeah, and of course the company is a sponsor! Big surprise eh? I cant help but wonder if ls1tech.com is getting a little chunk of every kit they sell through there.

eh i would say theres probably close to 5K in parts...2 turbos($2000 combined), 2 wastegates($500 combined),bigass intercooler($800), 2 filters($100) and all the tubing to get it to work together not to mention the time that would have to go into each kit it all adds up. Closing in on 800 hp on some untouched truck heads with an ls6 cam is a good number though through a maf. I honestly cant say they are out of their mind with the pricing though...look at the other TT companies like incon that went out of business...the first few they are selling for ~$6500 so I just cant see a huge profit margin there....I can see enough to keep their business running for a while though with it.
