Yeah I know about the clutch. I meant after I get it in and broke in. I'm not going to be putting it in for a while. Gotta get some money together to buy an aluminum flywheel and MSD. But then, I am determined to have fun.

I also know about the free install and dyno but I don't think I have the time or money to drive cross country. [&:] I am located in South Florida and their in New Mexico. A little too far for me.

How long did your kit take to come in as a whole?
That was one of the biggest complaints with HP, other than their welds.
I'm interested in seeing the pics as well.

Edit: What size turbo did you go with, and what kind of engine management?
Also, interested in the A/R on the turbo you chose.

I've heard nothing but bad things about them though. And they were taken to court for the things I've heard about them.
Don't know if they cleaned up their act, for FoxRod's sake, I'd hope so.
Shoddy build quality, shipping took months upon months upon months and you still won't have your full kit.
And the customer service was(is?) trash.

However, I do suggest a place like Hellion
