Cole - You will be very happy with the results. Looking forward to getting started on the install. I've been in contact with Ken daily. Karl's been on the road as you well know. I may or may not be able to tag along to Lake City to meet you.

Hi Mike - The Vette is doing fine. I got 28MPG for the round trip. I've been referring everyone in the vicinity to your shop. Thanks again for everything.

Hi Mike,

We volunteered to take this one away from you because he's like a brother...military brother that is and our labor rates are really cheap at $0.00. His budget didn't allow for the kit AND the install so we offered to get the guy in the F/I door for a beer. I don't think you have much to worry about though with our volume of about 1-2 a year!

The install on these A&A kits is so straightforward even the proverbial caveman could do them given enough hours. We have 3 caveguys doing this one. I suspect the owner will end up in your shop to get his tune tweaked and a dyno sheet when we are all done.

Eventually I need to get up with you for a cam in my 09' C6 LS3. I will be looking for something along the lines of a LG G6XE (mild). I'd do it myself but I'm not confident enough to use my car as a training tool and the calibration after the fact is also probably beyond my expertise. I'll keep saving my pennys and you'll be hearing from me eventually.

Default Yes!

I'd like to tag along with this as I ordered and will be getting a Vortech installed to my vert this week at my Vette shop in Clearwater FL along with some black scorp wheels.

Would be cool if we got together after our installs....

Wouldn't mind a t - shirt from A&A as well!
