Get the paxton and wait it out or just go the other route?

[Racko]

So I'm trying to decide what to do with the $4500 I already have saved... The first option is to go with a Paxton and save for the next month so I can get injectors and a tune. Then a few months down the road I can get slicks...

The second option is
Slicks
NX plate kit to run 100-150 shot
Aluminum driveshaft
Tune
Control arms

Current mods:
Boss 302 intake mani
C&L intake
Bassani long tubes
Bassani xpipe
GT500 mufflers
Canned tune

Paxton/Vortech... make about 600RWHP through the stock exhaust with a proper tune (not the shipped tune)

blower, and dont look back.

paxton all the way, a friend of mine had his 2012 gt done with a paxton and custom tune by bob kurgan in atlanta and it is awesome.

Check out the video we just posted on our website on our info for the Vortech Kit. Pretty impressive with our calibration and upgrade!

Sigh, I practically begged you for this tune in Summer of 11....

I'm happy with the Lund tune, but you guys have clearly done some great work here too.

Why is there a wookie in your video at 5:20?

Paxton. Try Terry @ beefcake racing for pricing. If I was going to do a remote tune it would be with Lito on this forum. FWIW 47 lb FRPP injectors in the length you need (ev6) are $240 from Tousley Ford.

Thanks for all the comments! Looks like the obvious choice is to go with the Paxton so that is probably what I'll do.

Sorry about that stkjock thought that would be best since it was 2011 specific.

Agreed

I had a NX kit, terrible quality.

Paxton all the way. Boost on demand. N2O is cool but it gets old refiling the bottle.

I did nitrous before I put on my Paxton, and actually still have it on the car. I don't use it anymore.

After going all motor on my GTO, I realized that I should have went with FI from the start.

Paxton.

Why Lito over lund, rick at amazon, or any other place like brenspeed?

I don't know if you realize how loaded your question is, it's loaded for all kinds of bad to come out. I'll stay positive.


Lito is a regular contributor to this site. He is also a very knowledgeable tuner and mechanic.

After reading all the positive reviews from very satisfied customers (some with complicated builds) I think the question would really be why wouldn't you go with Lito for remote tuning?

 

[Seer]

I didn't think Lito did remote tuning.

I've used Lund, Rick at Amazon and Brenspeed as far as tuning goes. Amazon and Brenspeed have by far the best customer service and will work with you until their tune is dialed in. Lund's tune for me was spot on the first time I ordered and have had zero issues. Those three I will now use/ or swear by as far as tuning goes.

Anyways, I was originally set on getting a Paxton kit just for the overall ability in performance but after I saw the price on my Whipple tuner kit at gary Yeoman's Ford I couldn't pass up on the deal. If you're set on a centri I would get the paxton but thats just my own opinion.
