Default Tuners Working Together

I have a unique experience to share. I patronize our Corvette Challenge sponsor for all my mods. At the end of our 2005 season our sponsor, Horse Power Sales of Pompano Beach and I got together on a CAM ONLY package for my 2001 A4 Coupe. I wanted the LG Motorsports G5X3 and I called Lou looking for more info and his suggestions. Then I needed a guy that could tune the car, enter in Mike Norris of Norris Motorsports. My car was worked on by a shop I trust here locally, Horse Power Sales, Mike Norris came down and dyno tuned this huge cam, and then Lou from LG Motorsports made the minor final adjustments to his cam via e-mail. I had our sponsor and 2 of the best tuners in the country working on my car. These guy's all worked together to hook me up with what I want from my car in 2006. Thanks to you guy's for allowing me the pleasure of working with you all. If you need performance parts, perfromance work, performance tuning. Consider these shops, I highly recommend each of them.

A definite positive consideration for me when I retire to "The Sunshine State" (also known affectionately as "God's Waiting Room). I have seen numerous very positive comments here over the last few years in regard to these folks.

Went to the track Saturday Night, came in 2nd with the new combo. Figured I will give all the mods and track times. 2001 A4 Coupe
Mods are: LG's G5X3 cam on a 114 LSA, UD Pulley, Vararam, A.I.R. delete, LG Pro long tubes, 3.73 gear, SS 3600 TC, Front CCW skinnies (16"), rear ZO6 17" with MT ET Streets, 6 point cromoly roll-bar.

Here is last Fridays Dyno Sheet



Here are Saturdays Numbers
ET was 11.68 @ 119.8 mph with a 1.68 60' Full fuel load
WEATHER CONDITIONS 73.9*, Dew Point 68.0, Humidity 82%, sea level 32.24 in, Wind E@10.4, Partly Cloudy
This is some pretty good performance on a car thats even heavier than stock. Roll-bar and full sound deadening. Dustin (Tech at HPS) Mike (Tuner) Lou (Tuner) I am very excited playing with the new car you guy's have given me.

I was in West Palm Springs two weeks ago. Drove over to MOROSO MOTORSPORTS PARK. I like to visit the different drag strips I read about. It was an "OUTLAW STREET" no posted time slips day.
Nice Track, really nice people, have a great season

I just got a promotion and will most likely be backing out of South Carolina. I was not racing my car there, I was helping run the event. I'm too poor to afford a trailer and AAA won't tow that far, that was the reason for my running the event and not the car. Last get together I helped with (4 of us try to do them all) we had 157 cars. That was last week.

Moroso treats us Corvette folks right. They even called me today to find out how Saturday Night went and if I liked the trophies. I requested a LOGO change on the trophies and they said no problem. I have found them to be very accomodating. 14 dates we have this year, 12 points 2 special events.

Nice
I can't afford the trailer either. My only comfort is I have family in Charleston, but that's still a long haul without a trailer.
I'm really lookin forward to having some fun. I'm not that great a driver that I'm expecting any kind of win. I'm just in it for the fun, fellowship and seat time.
