I'm not arguing that. Matt pushed over 400rwhp on a ported M112 no one has ever spent the money on a kb or whipple to see what they would do on a properly built splitport 4.2 to my knowledge. Phil has a ton of money into and too many custom touches and parts that you couldn't really get your hands on. I'm saying that I think going from a stock V6 to 300rwhp he'd be more than happy with the power and there isn't a need for spending the money to get 400rwhp+ out of a dd.

m112 kit / turbo kit
= same price

turbo kit
= more power, and cheaper to upgrade

You know tbh, i've never seen a dyno graph from matts car D:

I only know what he told me, never saw a graph. Like I said, I'm not arguing with you haha. However, who makes a turbo kit these days? Used tma's still pull 4k sometimes and thats when you can find one for sale. Obviously you could make it yourself but you need to find a reputable shop.

Super Six Motorsports or do it yourself.


There are several ways to be a V8 killer. All take the right parts and the money to buy them.

Oh I gotcha, I love matts car don't get me wrong... Actually I've seen several tma kits sell in the last few months <2500$ And you don't need a reputable shop to make a turbo kit really.

Matt,
I've actually gotten something from TM before... Very quick on the shipping too called me on the phone after I ordered just to confirm also. But I wouldn't buy from DELK D:

Yeah delk is a no no from the horror stories I've read. And I mean to fab up the hot side if you can't find a used tma kit, you don't want to take it to some idiot who can't weld like the guy who did the kids exhaust whos all screwed up. Just someone with a common knowledge of a turbo setup, good welding skills, and a fair rate is what I meant really.

Yeah, Delk has really fallen on their face.

I've never heard a good thing about Morana (until just now). I do know he's tried to rip off some of my head work and my M112 setup. He's also sold parts to people and advertised parts that aren't in production.

Well i got the car all paid for, I just got my place all paid for. Now i really want to put some money into my car and keep it for as long as i can. I want like you guys are saying 330whp... My main goals are full exhuast, Built 8.8 rear end, wider tires, M112 in that order i figure. Through in some suggestions that you guys think would be good. Thanks and your right i should be happy with a good solid 300hp up there.

He was poking around asking very specific questions about what I had done to mine.
