2) The car runs great.. It was just REALLLLY loud and didnt fit what I "Thought" I wanted. When I originally had it built I though I wanted the screaming blower whine, and extremely loud exhaust. Welll, After an F1R, Kooks headers, and B&B exhaust. I think I lost my hearing. As a matter of fact, my original tuner advised me NOT to do it.
3) I have the right to take my car to ANYONE I choose. I fit the person with the job NOT based off of personal feelings. I wouldnt hesitate to have ANY work done by my original tuner.

LPE does terrific work, it's just that the price is a pretty big pill to swallow.

We got the Block, crank, pistons, and I think rods today. The heads should be here in the next week or 2. Hopefully everything will be done by the 2nd week of Feb.
I would love to have LPE do some work on my car, I just cant bring myself to pay the extra money for it..
