Default The MAG is on!

Jeppers, I don't know where to start. I picked up my car from Kevin @ HP Performance Sat. and I am speechless. The sound of the Mag is awesome. Kevin YOU the MAN. You did an outstanding job on the installation. VERY HAPPY. I really do appreciate you comming in on Sunday to work on my car.When I picked up the car on Sat. I caught Kevin out in front of his shop polishing the Mag. How's that for dedication? I know you had a lot of things going on at the time. Brian @ BV Perfromance did the base tune on Fri and I met up with him this morning for the dyno tune. Picked up (plus/minus 80 hp) with the dyno tune. Final results were 420 hp with 432.6 torque. Not bad for a stock LS1 no headers cam etc. just a blackwing and GHL exhaust. I am very very pleased. It's amazing what Brian can do with that lap top computer, modern technology at it's finest. OK my eyes are starting to tear up. PAUSE, I'm OK now, I think! I'm not sure if I should have gotten the Mag though. It's going to get me in trouble. Seems like my right foot got about 10lbs heavier. All I want to do is mash on the go pedal so I can hear the Mag whisle. What a sweet sound. Also would like to thank Stu for helping me in getting the Mag. Stu, you are a real stand up guy and I do appreciate it. Thanks again you guys, you have really made this a pleasurable experiance. I will stay in touch.

Kevin has done all of the work on my 98 Corvette, including installing the Magnuson. Not only does he do great work, but he has a great sense of humor as well. I saw your car there while he was working on it and it's beautiful. You'll have a blast with the supercharger. Maybe I'll see you there one of these days.

Patrick,
HP performance is in Mundelion/Vernon Hills IL. I'd guess its a solid 4 hours south of you. If you come down this way, drop me a line. Kevin's shop is about 10 miles from my house.



Randy-
When do I get a ride???
Can't wait to see it in action.

Dave

Hey Pat, as you know now Kevin w/HP Perfromance did my work and I highly recommend him. I am a very sensitve person when it comes to my car and he is the first person to ever touch it. I am generally a pretty good judge of character and after meeting with Kevin and chatting awhile, I felt very confident he was going to do a good job for me. There are also a lot of other guys out there that will tell you the same. When I dropped the car off my wife came with to pick me up. She also said the same thing about Kevin, not so much mechanically but he is just a good guy. Well enough about Kevin I don't want to his head to swell up to much. O yea my car is an M6 and the Mag, well it is just awesome. I have not had a chance to drive it much since I picked it up because I now have the hood off to get painted. It's always something. Don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assitance.

Hey Dave...OOps I just saw your message. Absolutely, I will let you know if/when I come that direction. Kevins shop is close enough for me to go & check it out. My wife does not know it yet but when we head to Chicago in Sept. we will be stopping for a visit. I won't have the Vette because we will be down for the weekend (no parking her outside ) but I will check out the shop.
