Default Hats off Lars!!!!!

About a month ago, I sent an extra Holley Street Avenger that I had in storage, to Lars for overhauling (if needed) and tune up. Well, I got it back about 2 weeks after I shipped it to him and was REALLY excited to get it back!! I was ready to install it when the frame broke after hitting a piece of heat-buckled concrete. I got the Vette back from the repair shop on Friday and installed the "new" carb this past Sunday.

Well,the Vette now runs the best it's ever had!!!! She fires up when I turn the key (even when it's really hot and it sits a while), she runs smooth and strong, and has great acceleration.

THANKS LARS!!!

I bought a SA and had it sent to his house. He set it up for me, mailed it to me, and it has been running strong for the past 1 1/2 years. Wealth of knowledge!

It's been said before and I'll say it again, "Lars Rules All"!

The only thing I wish/regret about Lars is that he doesn't live closer as I'm already close to our border.

I'm glad it worked out for you.
