who for H/C and headers ?
So many good vendors, I just can't decide. I'm looking for an installed package, and my top priorities are reliability, quality, and value. I can live with 20-30 rwhp less than the best. The goal would be a relatively flat torque curve, more than 380 rwhp, and excellent street manners. I'm thinking about LG motorsports, MTI, dynotech, and Lingenfelter.
Any advice or shared experience would be most appreciated.

Hey, Bri
I'm thinking af a couple days in Dallas with LGM, so that would be my recommendation. Just keep the cam reasonable if you have a yearly meeting with the smog *****, like I do.

No need for a major trip... order a package from a parts vendor and have Dragon's Breath, a Forum Tuner listed on the left, do the install and tune... He is in Knoxville and I heard good things on the board regarding his work....I have no first hand experience nor is this a paid endorsement... just a thought at 2:00am:cheers:

I don't think that you can go wrong with any of the forum tuners. They all have sufficient experience. I've been happy with Cartek, in my opinion there's no one better.

Try calling AP Engineering in Clinton Twp, MI. They've got great head/cam packages for reasonable prices. They're a forum vendor. They also do complete installs with headers.
Great guys and great prices. :thumbs:
