Kick *** SBC Single Turbo Race Setup

go to www.proturbokits.com

Its primarily a Ford turbo company in setup. Have done turbo kits for Chip Havemann, Mike Murillo and Chris "Mud Duck" Derrik.

They recently did one on a Chevy II though. It turned out awesome!

There are more photos of it on their webpage. Take a look! Maybe someone in texas can get them to do up a race kit format on a 3rd gen.

Yeah, the Hot Rod Store is here in the San Antonio area. They have a few new mustang kits coming out. I see alot of thier cars run at River City Raceway here.
I liked Murillo's old car better, the Texas Flag one, it was awsome. I've seen it run some low 8s on test-n-tune nights, you shoulda heard this car idle, sounded very docile, and ran smooth as all h*ll. So far his new car with the pro-turbo setup hasn't beat his old setup yet to my knowledge, but it's a pretty new car.
Thier stuff is supposedly good, but they are kinda a-holes, real full of themselves.

Man, anyone get the impression that that little aluminum brace is the only thing keeping that thing from sucking the front grill, and then the entire world into that turbo?

I tried dealing with the Hot Rod Store when I was looking for a boost controller and they would never return my calls and always seemed really rushed to get off of the phone.

Chip H. seems like a decent guy just talking on the message boards and email a couple times but that guy Greg that works for them is a dick! LOL

Still cool looking ****.

I met Chip and his dad years ago (probably 96 or so), when he was sort of new to the Fun Ford circuit and still ran an S-trim, and have a few times simce then at various Ford races. He always seemed a lot more approachable than most other racers (same could have been said for Mike Murillo, met him also...he's a trip), and was willing to answer a lot more questions than your average racer. Can't speak for the other guy, but I'd do business with Chip anytime.

Chip DOES seem like a nice guy. I was asking some questions on a message board about getting invovled in the Clash of the Titans Texas Racing Series and Chip actually emailed me with advice and info about it. Nice guy.

Looks a little small to me.

Think I'd have any problems mounting that in place of my factory AC compressor?

Guido, that would be sweet if you ran in Clash of the Titans. That means I would get to marvel in person when you come round here!
