Default More Horsepower

I've done a few things that increase the horsepower about 20-25. Now I'm thinking of doing some things that would give me
another 50 or so, bringing it up to a C6.

I was thinking of going over to L. A. P. D. and seeing what they recomended.

Question is......What do you know about them? Positive or Negative.
Who would be the best person to talk to there?

Thankyou in advance..............

You should hear a lot of positive feedback about LAPD. I havent dealt with them near as much as other members but my experience was excellent. As far as mods go, tell us what you have first.

Corsa Indys W X-pipe, Hyper-tech, Ram Air Intake, Granatelli MAS,
Power Duct, BBK Throttle Body. Would have done the long tubes
But, they are not legal in CA and I heard the shortys wern't
worth the money.

I live around the corner from LAPD and have spent many a days over there. Either them modding my car or me just hanging out shootin the sh*t. They are great guys over there and have a great crew. Talk with AL and he'll lead you in the right direction. to LAPD

You want to talk to Al!

He'll take care of you and all your needs! Just let him know your goals and approxametely what you want to accomplish!

You will not find another shop in town that'll treat you like a King the minute you walk in the door.

From the owner Dave, Al, Shawn, Hanna at the front desk the Fella's in the shop - Dan, Robert, Gev, Daniel and Doug the tuner! Ohh yeah!

Right now we are doing on my '98 Vette a H/C package with Kooks Headers Hiflow cats and X-Pipe.

We are going to get 430 RWHP and around 400 RWTQ out of this package and do it all using a stock TQ Converter and my 3.15 gears!

All we are is waiting on the Kooks headers wich should be in this week! and all is a go!

Just go to Canoga Ave off of Devonshire and then head south on canoga avenue to Mayall they are on the corner (Their new location!) can't miss it!

You will feel right at home and if you let me know when your going down there I can shoot over there too!

You'll also like all the guys who hang out there with their Vettes and you will NEVER NEVER feel intimidated by anyone it is like being with family!

Go Go as soon as you can! LAPD is the BEST! I mean the best!

you can also call me if you want anymore feedback- number listed in my sig bellow!

Thanks,Matt
