Default Utter reliability = 21st Cent MC/LPE

I felt I have to get on the record with the reliability of the work done by LPE installer/dealer 21st Century Muscle Cars. I've had the cam and exhaust (and other goodies) for about a year now. Not one single problem! Check the sig for mods list.

Over the years I've owned and moded several cars, I did some work and had tunners do others. I ended up having to continously tinker with those cars.

My C5 is quick and reliable, a real joy to drive! Hat's of to John Page, Andy, Patrick, Jon and the LPE staff!

I've had two problems with my LPE TT built by 21st: 1) excessive tire wear and 2) excessive fuel consumption.



DK, now go get some heads to finish off that head/cam package.

Yesterday Dark Knight took me for a quick in his car since I was curious how it performed with his performance installs, and it ran very very smoothly and pushed strong off the line and while rolling! And of course my hats off also too 21stcentury!

I can only imagine what it will then drive like with the heads on!

I have taken my(sold) magnuson blown C5 and my current ZO6 to them. Andy tuned my car after I installed my ECS d-1 blower, installed supermaxx headers and exhaust,RPS stage3 clutch and hardened output shaft. They did all this in 1 1/2 days and allowed me to hang out and watch.Andy is a perfectionist and will do a great job on your car.I just wish I wasn't 7 hours away.
