Default MTI 422

How many people have done this package, or know someone who has? My car is scheduled to be in Houston on the 29th of June for the install. I know I'm going to be extremely happy, just wondering how others felt about the package.
thanks,
Chip

Hey, Chip! Welcome to the Forum from another Georgia boy! :seeya

Nevrenuf (Tom Garland) who is north of Atlanta has that setup. I'm sure he'd be glad to discuss it with you if you contact him. Tom's a great guy and our local Zaino distributor.

Maybe he'll pipe in here or do a search in the Neighbor locator for Georgia members.

I know several people who have had MTI packages, and not one complaint. Living in Houston, and being pretty well connected to the Corvette scene, I think I would have heard if there were any real problems.

Both of SWs FRCs have MTI motors.

Mine is a 422. I have yet to get it back here to Hawaii but I can say that working with MTI has been great. Almost everything about this journey to make a beast has been a royal pain in the ****, MTI however, has shown me nothing but patience and are real professionals!! :smash: :smash:

Good lord how can you stand it? I would be making trips to the mainland every weekend just to drive it. Oh well, I guess the anticipation will make it that much more enjoyable when you get it. :cheers:

Thanks for the replies. I agree with everyone who said good things about MTI. They really are a class act so far. Great customer service and a pleasure to deal with over the phone. I just wish they could get me in quicker...June 29 is going to seem like a year!!
thanks,
Chip

Patches,
Thanks for the warm welcome for a fellow Georgia boy! Do you know how I could get in touch with Tom Garland, I would like to speak with him about his car. If you know his e-mail you could send it to me at chip.whitworth@brownind.com

Thanks

I am always impressed by how driveable the hydraulic Z07 package is for the amount of power it makes. Also, how clean and professional the job is done. I wish I had the dough.

:cheers:

As a competitor I can freely say you cant go wrong with an MTI motor.Of course I like Nates strokers better but MTI is honest and really knows there stuff and just like Xtreme or LPE you drive away with a tightly built motor great daily driver good warranty and programmed right the 1st time not just sent over night to one of the tuners who will guess his best.
I wish you many fast,fun packed miles with your new MTI.Dave S.
