I was just given a set of genIII heads. Will these work with your kit?
edit
Thats not exactly what I wanted to say. But I did score some heads like I said. So hopefully this company will take off. And do you have any pics of the alum. head manifold yet?

Just got back from Raceway Park. I got there a little late (they opened at 7:00AM), and I arrived a little before 11:00AM, but Dave was still there. I must say, impressive kit would be an absolute understatement. The kit is extremely well designed. Everything has been covered. I'm very much a stickler for professional work, as well as my wife, and as soon as I seen the prototype, I was sold....
Dave was extremely professional. I've dealt with plenty of aftermarket vendors, and the way to know GOOD ones, is when their familiar with every little detail. Plus, what sold me was his willingness to delve into everything, he held nothing back. Some people don't seem too enthusiastic about their work, but Dave was, and then some... and for good reason, because it was extremely well, as well as cleverly, thought out.
Dave, it was great to finally meet up with you. I'm finishing up some of the details on my 3.1, in reference to it's valvetrain, but am going to hold off (for now) on the installation of some of the other parts recently aquired. We'll go over some of the details relating to the Pacesetter headers and corresponding Y-Pipe, but in any event, once I have the engine up and running the way I want without the Turbo, I'll drop the car off at your place of business so you can install the entire Turbo kit...
To reiterate again, that was an extremely impressive kit. I wish everyone here could have seen some of the spectator's faces. I mean, there were two ZR1's parked a few feet away boasting on a best of "12.50" quarter mile times, and at the very same time, embellishing on a "70,000.00" price tag. Meanwhile, a couple of cars to their left (stage right) you have a 3.1 Camaro running the same exact times, at a fraction of the price. It's no wonder why more people were circling around Dave's Camaro...
What an excellent day to boot. Weather was good, I found some hard-to-find parts for another project of mine, and the food was excellent. Although, paying three freaking dollars for a 20 ounce Pepsi is ridiculous, but hey, I was having such a good time, it didn't even matter...

one thing that didnt click in my head when we spoke was that u have a firebird.not a big deal but i deff need a measure ment infront of the radiator,to make sure the intercooler will fit.also the firebird is setup diff the a camaro.the battery i son the driver side versus the camaros passenger side,so pipe routing will be the exact oposite of the camaro.
i had a great deal of interest from alot of ppl at the show.and due to this interest i have decided to go ahead and make the turbo kits available for purchase.see new thread.also i am gonna take the car out to the carslie swap meet in pa this comming weekend.

So is there the possibility of the fwd head manifold, headers, and the turbo all working together? That is, if the company takes off.
