Default FullRace, PeakBoost or Custom

At one time I had my heart set on the PeakBoost, but now I kind of want to build my own kit. LoveFab has a killer 6 week waiting period and if I was going custom that was the only manifold I really wanted. My power goals are from 250 - 300whp on stock internals. Fuel is ran by RC 440s and Hondata. Here are my options im considering:

Full Race - Great kit, even better reputation, pretty steep price.

PeakBoost (cheapturbo.com) - Seems like a great kit too, some parts customizable, good price, seems like good manifold (lifetime warrenty!)

Custom - Well you know, pick your own goods, experience, price is a little on the expensive side, more labor involved.

What are your opinions on my situation?

the way i see it is going custom you get the parts you want which you highly are gonna get the tial bov and wg, a precision turbo because of course you ask on here what to get and the strong opinion from people are these products. but with those kits you are looking at, they both come with i think tial wg and bov and a very good turbo, not a precision. i personly made my own kit but i wanted to make my own manifold so thats why. what im saying is those kits come with very popular parts already so add up some numbers for each of these are go from there

I ended up getting a revhard kit because the research behind all the individual parts was daunting. But I customized, upgraded or didnt use so many things from the kit its practically a custom kit. I say go custom so you dont end up overpaying for garbage you dont need, ie crappy VMUs or crappy gauges.

I really want the LoveFab SST for my manifold. I think I'm going to order it, wait the six weeks out, and just do the custom job! Thanks for the help guys!

I'd reccomend atleast a full-race kit and sc63 or t3/t67 for 250-300whp.

why would you recommend such a huge turbo for only 250-300hp?
