The company has a nice bikini calendar, but these things worry me -

 

- Top search result is not an actual homepage; it's a Myspace account.

 

- Their e-mail is @yahoo.com

 

- LLC

 

PTK has been around for a long time. I modified one of there gen II lightning kits to work correctly and it made 800rwhp/800rwtq with a little PT76GTS.

 

Getting the kit might take some time from what I have seen.

They claim one month turn-around normally. However, I opted to have them send my hot parts out to SwainTech for their white lightning coating. They said this will take an extra month. I'm in no hurry, I've got a ton of other things to do first, to prepare.

The main thing that worries me about the PTK vette kits is heat soak. I know a few others who ran them in the past had some heat management issues. The Swain coating will definitely help. Are you keeping the stock hood? A vented hood would of course help too. Hopefully you won't need a bunch of heat wrap since it will shorten the life of the headers. Your car will be quite a beast, our rematch should be interesting. ;)

Nope, not keeping the stock hood. I'm doing everything possible to keep the heat under control.

if you didnt know they do have a terrible, no what horrible wait time after you order.

they say it will take 2 months, youll be lucky if it arrives in about 6 months, as others have taken about that long.

 

nice kit, but the heat thing would concern me, as i would have done something like the doc is doing provided i had a vette. (but the up side is bigger turbos can get on there.)
