    Hello,
    My company, Forced Induction Auto Sports, has finalized a deal with Nizpro out of Australia to offer their F355 Twin Turbo kit to members in the local area for finalized testing. The kit has already been ran for several thousand miles and drag launched on another F355 repeatedly with not even a hint of detonation or clutch slippage. What we are looking for is a demo car to write honest opinions of the car, performance, etc. on the board. The demo will get a discounted price on the kit by a few thousand, of course. If interested, please pm me.

    The following is the kit contents:

    Stage 1 creates 575hp (470whp) at 6psi and contains the following:

    -Turbocharger exhaust manifolds made from 3mm stainless steel or cast depending on application (with catalytic converter or without)

    For those F355 owners looking to not get rubbed out by a certain purple lambo, this is the way to go.

    The kit has been extensively tested for thousands of miles without one hint of detonation and without clutch slip.

    I will be honest, there is no way to get higher performance for the money, on any car.

    Even the 6psi kit still have a 0-60 time of 3.2-3.5 seconds (less boost, more traction).

    MK, I would think you need some kind of power adder to keep with F355's laying down over 600whp. But freeing up that V12 exhaust and intake will give you another 40whp at least.

    And I am sure we could always do a twin centrifugal supercharger option if you wanted to go that route, and really humiliate ANY car on the road. There is also a company who may be interested in doing a custom Twin Turbo kit for your car. It would not be cheap, but their custom kit on the Viper made 1100hp, and gave the owners (so far 7 Vipers have done this) track time in their car to learn how to drive. If you would be interested, let me know and I can do some probing to find out some info.
