Default experience with A & A crew

yesterday, i finally got kooks headers @ a & a corvette specialist....
what a difference it makes....previously have stingers, and thought it sounds good enough....the difference is night & day....powerwise, i feel much more torque & pull....

also, installed "semi-heavy duty" radiators....looked at the stock radiator, and it was about an inch thick, no wonder why i always hit 240 engine temp in heavy traffic....

more importantly, crew @ a & a were more than great....they made things look so easy even though kooks were a little harder to install than others....i was there long enough to talk with them, and really enjoyed being there....i am glad i live in socal....

thanks, andy, michael, jose & angel....you guys rock!!!!

if you do not want 240 degrees use a different thermostat. . . cheaper than a radiator in my opinion . . .

Very nice. Did you have A&A do a dyno tune after the install?
