I love mine and have nothing but good to say about the company. A lot of other people have complained about poor customer service. I know that EVERY TIME I called, Kevin answered all of my questions and was extremely helpful. Good luck with whatever path you choose!

Should be a few threads on these forums about it if you search. There is also a good deal more info on ls1tech in the LS4 section as well (not to steer people to another forum, but there is some good LS4 info there also to look at).
Really, with the LS4 it is your only option if you want bolt on boost, so there isn't really much you can do if you don't like it- other than do a one off custom kit.
With that said, I haven't heard too much bad, other than obviously the very high price.
The cost really is the biggest issue with the kit. You're talking $5700 shipped for the turbo kit alone, then an easy $4k+ for a built trans that will hold the power (depending what mods you do- the GMR chain and GMR torsen diff alone run $2500 just for those two parts). With the prices of these cars falling- a lot of people have a hard time justifying spending $10k in mods on a $10k car. Plus, then you also add in the normal issues with FWD (ie can't put the power down on the street).
I'll be honest, I've never rode in a turbo'd LS4- but I have rode in GP's with 3800's close to the same power level with a turbo, and the only time they seem to hook well is race prepped on nice slicks, or from stupid high speed rolls on the street.

No... I haven't had the chance. I could get in REAL trouble if I tried to pull any stunts like I did at Fort Sill. The closest that I have come to a video was my wife filming the exhaust cut-out in my driveway. I should be able to show off by the end of the summer though.
