Sorry don't have any firm pricing as of now and pricing will depend upon final specification. We will certainly show these centrifugal blower people how to really add positive pressure to the LS1. :lol: PeterAPS

Dont worry about pricing either, I will durability test it for you ...for free

If Steve reckons he did 131mph and 14.3 well he must of done it. I don't think he's in the habit of bull$hitting just for the sake of it. He explained what happened so I think we should just believe it.Twin turbo LS1 sounds interesting, in a Late model camira of some sort I presume? Do they have problems getting transmissions/gearboxes to handle the power?

Gee..... when Steve first got on here with his development he was everyone's hero. Since when did he do anything to change that???I remember when he first posted the details of that run ages ago everyone took him at his word. Now that Nizpro and APS are around we don't believe him anymore??? What's up with that?

Now that Nizpro and APS are around we don't believe him anymore??? What's up with that?I think everyone just wondering why he won't show the proof in the form of the time slip. I don't see what the problem is in being asked to prove your claims. Why not just post the slip? What's the big deal?
Grant Member 453 Member For: 23y 10m 4d Location: Kurrajong, Sydney Posted 05/01/04 03:02 AM Posted 05/01/04 03:02 AM Yeah, it's not really a big deal. As far as I see whether he posts it or not doesn't really matter... if he were using it as a selling point for his kit then I'd like to see proof though.

As far as I see whether he posts it or not doesn't really matter... if he were using it as a selling point for his kit then I'd like to see proof though.think Steve has video footage of the 14.3@132mph and in the process of getting the analogue footage to PC format so it can be viewed to prove he did the run. Maybe he didnt keep the time slip but when you think about it 14.3@132mph is realistic. I've seen cars do 10.5@105mph and although that seems strange with the low terminal speed the reason being in the run after half track a low 9 sec car didnt accelerate after half track. It's the same when a 9sec car has huge amounts of wheelspin and runs a really slow time but huge mph. But when it's a competitive issue and we must admit it's good to have verification if you intend to break a record or claim a title of some sort. Edited 05/01/04 03:15 AM by Ezy10z

I asked you a question regarding whats gone wrong with your auto in the XR6T and what mods your doing to it and you have failed to answer, reinforcing that you are just interested in self promotion. Out of interest did you contribute a substatial amount for the purchase of a new sever. Because by the amount of self promotion you have done maybe you should have paid for the sever in FULL

I can't comment on your question but I know it's been said before that the auto reinforcing will be revealed when the testing and pricing has been concluded. As for the self promotion, APS is more than entitled to do so, after all APS is a sponsor of this site and consequently pay the sponsorship fees. Unlike other tuning companys.And no I don't have any APS products, but I'm greatful that Peter can share his expertise with us, whether we buy APS or not.
