Default more performance in charlotte NC, ????

Cam, Dual Valve Springs, Retainers, Seats, 1 7/8" Stainless Steel and Coated Kook's Headers, 3" Off-Road X-Pipe, VaraRam, Ported Throttle Body and LS1 Edit Dyno Tuning. We achieved 410RWHP with a mild camshaft and the performance modifications listed above. Price for this package was $4900 including all parts, labor, oils, filter and gaskets

Is this a good set up or i need to order the headers?xpipe an vararam myself an install them my self to save money. Is the Ported throttle body needed? or do under drive pully instead they don't even have 160 themostate on there. can i save on the labor ? what cam ? looking for 400 at thew wheels i don't want it to sound like a drag car. looking to get in the low 11'5 or just pay them to do it all.

I know Morris and had a buddy that used to work with him. They seem to do good performance work but never had first hand experience. You may want to check with F1 performance. They are also in Charlotte. The Vette guys name is Rocky Vericola and he has always been the guy to go to for late model Vette performance.

I can higly recommend More Performance. They have built (3) motors for me over the last (4) years and have done (4) clutches, gears etc... Owner Mike Osh built motors for NASCAR for 12 years, he is extremely good. They are the only ones I would bring my car to in the Charlotte area if you want the best most reliable performance.

I'm a good client of theirs so feel free to use me as a referral, they will take good care of you.
