Default Bd Twins VS Rips Twins

ok ive been throwing around this idea and i finnaly got some cash $$ to do somethign about it, how ever i have to primary options one is the bd upgrade kit for my bd super b and the other is rips upgrade kit for a stock or s300 turbo (which the bd is) the bd kit uses a highly modified turbo on the bottom with extended tip tech. (correct me if im wrong dave) and rips setup is a s-400 not shure on specs. Now i have gotten quotes for both sets that are withing hundreds of dollars of each other, im looking for roughly 600 ish hp and want to be able to support it safely and yet still have good spool up since this will be a primaily daily driver/strip/tow truck. (im only asking for it all.....) which kit do you think is better made and will support the most hp and still be daily driveable, i have heard great things about both kits and similar power levels from both. thanks guys

What are the specs on the turbos that BD uses? Is the bottom turbo a 64 or 66 or what?

I know what you mean I've had some kiler deals on BD's too, and I can sell my 62/12 if I get them and soak up a little bit of pain I will feel in the old wallet area.

I can PM you the pricing on the BD upgrade kit.

Like I have posted, I have really had great luck with the BD twins. I have (ab)used them for 2 years and love them.
