I'm going as fast as I can! lol

I'm hoping it will be done next month.

[Billyb0b81]

PTK is great....its my cousins company. They also own 'The Hot Rod Store' in San Antonio.

[mikeb]

Man those are nice.

Looks like one of the tubes has some junk stuck in it though :confused: ;)

It's sucking my phone in... a coke can wouldn't fit! ;)

Can anyone guess how big they are?

[Billyb0b81]

Have you called PTK directly and checked their prices?

[Andrew]

Have you called PTK directly and checked their prices?

Me? I know all too well what these cost.

[Billyb0b81]

Are you using one of their turbo kits also?

[Andrew]

Are you using one of their turbo kits also?

Nope. The kit will be custom fabbed stainless hot side, aluminum cold side. The plan is to put the turbo in the bumper.

Check out this video. One of my cousins owns PTK and another cousin does most of their fabrication. You can check out some of his work in the video.

Pro Turbo Kits via HPP looks a million times better than Kirkbuilt via Mac header :P

[Andrew]

There is a difference between MIG and TIG. Kirk did a great job on my old kit. And they were BBK headers. :)

I thought about building them myself... but you take the cost of the raw material ($60/bend)
and add up the cost of the bends plus flanges and vband clamps and you get to $1400 pretty quick,
and that's not including the collectors which would probably set you back another $400-500.
That's getting close enough to the cost of new ones that when you factor in the cost of extra
material to cover stuff that's gotta be redone and I don't come out any cheaper.

i never said they did not, but looks are not everything.if we all worried about looks, it would take all of us 5+ years to get our cars together.

ANother one of his funny ass old school days....I still love that shit...

Speaking of Tech. I had a red SWB 80s model truck come in with a roll bar at Kennedale.


I never looked twice at. When I did it was a freaking exhaust pipe he had bent up and installed in the car. LOL Painted to match and everything! HAHA

[JamesB]

I might be able to dig up a packet of top ramen to put next to it if you guys want....

intake is portmatched to my heads... they are 305cc victor sr's

[Tweakd]

You couldn't fit the phone in any of those ports?

[musclestang89]

very nice Andrew. I can't wait to see her run. Hopfully soon I can get started on your old kit and get it on the road. But I still have awile :(

[Andrew]

I put it in the port but it would just fall all the way through.

[RiSk]

Dang money bags, looking good, hope to see it run soon!

[truestreet5.8]

Movin right along. You shouldn't have to much left to buy do you? Just a ton of labor and fabrication right! :)

[Andrew]

Still gotta buy aluminum v band clamps and straight pipe, and lots of fittings and stainless braided hose. I'm sure there's other stuff that I'm forgetting too that I'll remember along the way.

[bsharer]

Damn. Andrew, how fast you trying to go?!

[grape]

www.musclemotorsports.com ..........the answer to all your braided hose needs. :)

[Big Thumper]

Those headers/intake look nice!

Did you get the heads from TEA? Which castings? I've been thinking of stepping up to a set of those or some R heads.

[Mach1Marauder]

Damn moneybag trick ho! :p :p

Thanks! I got the #7721 castings... TEA did their 305cc program on them.
