We're still working on a kit, and we hope to have something out in the Spring (when we are going to be needing them). Pricing is dependent on who/how much we can get pipes made for. We're working that now. We will post details here are we pass milestones.

I had a 21x9x3 core and it was night and day at the track but it still wasn't enough on its own, you'll also need a much larger oil cooler and maybe even something different for the radiator. It just depends on how long you want to support 500hp. After 30 minutes on the track I found that the intercooler would get hot on the intake side but the oil temps would sky rocket as well as the egt's. I think for 500+ HP you will also need a tubular header, port and polished head, port matched intake and exhaust, different valvetrain, and probably more but like I say, it just depends on how long you want to run it at full throttle. I always used 100+ octane and would cut my run session short by 5 minuts to avoid the oil temps from getting to high. Good luck.

im doing rods and was going to port the head with haps guy. Definately a tubular mani etc.
Im just thinking ahead as im already running 28 psi and the sidemount heatsoaks at ambient temps above 65degrees so im trying to cover my ass in the upgrade path if you know what i mean.

Not to mention his port and polish of the head and manifold. Think he is pretty happy w/ the temps he see's on the track.

Sure he can expand more...

We both have a number in mind that we think we can hit but we want to have all of the costs added up first.

On the customs side of things I'm working with Atlantic Customs Brokers. LOTS of paperwork..

Have you checked out Mike Desi's FMIC? He had it done for a little under $500 and has a 21x9x3 core size. check out the link
