I often read about how expensive the TDC kits are and laugh. I had a V2 S-trim @ 12 psi, Spearco Intercooler, Longtubes, Cat-H pipe and other mods and my Turbo system at 12 psi would beat my previous setup by over a second, easily. The kit comes with so many parts that unless you have seen it with your own eyes, you have no idea. Also the HP ratings that TDC is using is more limited by fuel demands and not by the turbo. A 60-1 @ 8 psi would probably beat most blowers you could put on at the same boost levels because you would see full boost about 3000+ rpms sooner. The kit with the T66 would definitely beat most blowers you could put on at the same boost levels. The Stage 2XX with the T-76 is no contest. I have been running the T-76 for 5 months now and the power at 10 psi is awesome. At 15 psi, the Nitto D/Rs spin at 60 mph. Basically, it will cost you as much if not more to make the blower setup as fast. I'm speaking from the experience of having both poweradders on the exact same car which few could say. Also my car was tuned in the street and not on a dyno so the driveability is unreal. My car should be in 4/02 MM&FF and remember that this is a daily driver tuned on pump gas, with an auto, bone stock longblock, & stock rear suspension when you read how fast my car runs.
