Default Mike Norris ROCKS!

Last year when I had my intercooler added I had Mike balance and blueprint my motor, add forged pistons, larger injectors a fuel pump and a few other things.

Here is the dyno -



Today I took my car in at a local dyno day and was very happy with the results. After about 8000 miles and at least 30 passes at the drag strip since Mike did the work, I still have a very flat f/a line and my HP is almost exactly the same (Actually a little more).



I am very happy with the work that LPE and Mike did on my car.

Yes Mike is really good at what he does. His work is time tested and reliable. How many guys can do that to an engine and still have such longevity?

Well, thats what happens when you build stuff that doesn't break.

I'll stop by the next time I'm in Orlando. I got a GTO with the LS1 in it, I may be talking to you soon about a H/C deal...

I drove down last month and had a diff installed and dyno tune done on JOECOOOOL's recommendation.

Very happy with the results of the diff and tune. Mike treated my wife and I like we were old friends. Gave me a tour of the shop and explained everything he was going to do. I will take my car to Mike when I need anything done and for the next mods.

Ran into NAVY99VERT that morning at NLP. Always nice to meet other forum members.
