Default Ed Hutchings - Successfully removed my F55 on my 2004!

Removing the F55 RPO from the computers of 2003 and 2004 C5 Coupes and Convertibles is a very challenging task unlike the older F45 RPO. You can't use the F45 sims or simply tune out codes in the PCM, etc.

Owners of 2003 and 2004 C5s with the F55 suspension didn't have any options to install aftermarket shocks or coil overs UNTIL NOW!! Ed Hutchings performed extensive research to successfully remove my F55. I get NO error codes, warning messages or performance problems.

THIS IS HUGE NEWS for these owners Call Ed Hutchings at The HP Factory if you want to get your C5 F55 removed RIGHT! I just returned from a weekend at VIR pushing my vette to the limits - GOOD TO GO! Thanks, Ed

I have heard a lot of good things about him recently Sounds like a great guy!!

As for that issue, for the longest time, customers with the F55 couldnt use Coilovers, Now they can

Yeah, but when are you going to invest in an air compressor of some kind to inflate your tires rather than use your bicycle hand pump? Hmm?

Your car was running strong and it was good to see you have a mostly trouble free event. Dang Hoosiers!!!! Bring it to Summit and we will paly again. This time I will have radiator flushed and hopefully my temp problems will be gone. BEER CAN CHICKEN!!!

Congrats Mike. After you found the bulge in the tire causing that vibration, you really had a ****e eatin' grin on you face. Your car is running strong. Next time, get John to get some air in your tires.....

Nice meeting you finally and tell your wife THANKS for the great chili....
