Default hp performance turbo kit?

I've been looking at forced induction for a while now trying to figure out what way i wanted to go turbo or cintri supercharged. I was looking threw a old 5.0 mag i had and they had nothing but good things to say about them. I was just wondering if anyone on here has one of there kits and how is the quality of the kit and most importantly the power? After i read the add i did a google search trying to find people's feedback but couldn't really find any goods or bad's about them. Any info or input would be greatly appreciate.

thanks!

Well Tom Berry is the one to talk to if you need any info. I too want to go FI and want to do a turbo. I'm currently leaning torwards either the hp turbo single or the Turbo Horsepower kit. Both look pretty decent. Back a while ago I talked to Tom and he was saying with their kit at 5-6psi I should be looking to 4-425 range rwhp. He also recommended the EBC so you can change the boost whenever you want. Hope that helps.

For the relatively small difference in money, I have heard nothing but good things about Hellion. I was looking at HP performance a while back and got a lot of warnings to stay away.

Hellion does look good but I had heard at one point that it was harder to tune the turbo kits that have a MAF before the turbo. So someone may want to correct me if this is wrong but the car goes really rich when you let off because the computer thinks your bringing more air then you really are and then uping the fuel. That and relocating the swaybar is my other concern. All of this is from my own research and not experience. Maybe sam stranno would be one to talk to if you have any concern for how the car will handle after moving the swaybar. The kit does seem to be very complete though.

Bobby, what is your main use for the car. I don't see how disconnecting the sway bar would be a great idea for a DD and taking corners hard? If your main purpose is to drag the car, then you don't really need the lateral support that the bar provides. If I were to get a kit it would need to maintain stock like drivability and street manors.

Two of my good friends have the helion turbo kit and it's been great for both of them. One has around 40k miles on turbo kit.

The one issue that they both have is that the pipes hang pretty low, and with them both being lowered they do tend to scrape a fair amount. The good thing is that the pipes are top notch quality and the system fit great.

They are both running the 9lb spring and have around 460hp I believe...

I've driven both quite a bit and they drive like stock when you're not in boost.
