is it coated? when i asked chad about it he wouldnt comment lol... good to know that it is, if his prices for the upgrade werent so ridiculous i might consider it. last i knew he wanted 1100 just for the upgrade from the 1st gen kits... and its not like i can really sell much of the old stuff b/c its not a complete kit. im sure i could get someone to buy it, but i'd still be at a huge loss for only a 2-300rpm spool...

That's the thread that I was talking about earlier. That car is sick and has lots of potential. Been trying to follow it through the end and its come together well and made lots of power.

Well the headers are coated, but it looks like the production version of the forward facing kits are still made with polished stainless as you can see here...

i plan on pushin the 2v to the limit once i get it situated. cant wait to see how the turbo cams affect spool time. prolly have to go with a bigger A/R, or just bigger turbo...
edit: might consider upgrading when i ditch the QA1 setup.

thats the purpose, its a budget kit. i paid 2069 with the masterpower upgrade shipped to my door... you have to add in all the other costs for tune, injectors, pump, suspension, yourself...

A lot of On3 nutswinging in this thread. On3 is one of the most hit or miss companies I know of. Some people have no problems with them and other times people have issues from the get go and it takes a long time to get resolved, if it does get resolved, as the company won't answer/return your calls.
If you go on Corral there is at least 1-2 threads about On3 almost everyday. Some good, some bad. The kit is cheap for a reason.
