Default SLP Performance Pak?

I never read anything about the SLP Perf Pacs on anyone's cars. Does anyone run these? Are they not worth the money? Just curious as to why these kits don't get more publicity.

Thanks

I was curious about this kit also. It's advertised in the Vette magazine.

And for good reason.

Because SLP, for the most part, is full of dog poo LOL.

Just kidding, some of their parts do work and are made well but I've found that most generally avoid using SLP parts/packages simply because many of their claims have not been easily duplicated.

Vettes with long-tubes, cat-back, cai and a tune are almost there anyway. I'm actually going to try the SLP 1.85" rockers with their undedrive crank pulley as my next mod. A cam would most likely give much better results for about the same price but I've decide for now to leave the internals alone.

Parts are ok, but do not let them tune your car, they lock it so you are tied to them forever for tunes. Personally I think it's wrong for them to lock a PCM that you own.

Thanks guys. I wasn't really planning on getting one. After a little research it seems that you could get pretty damn close to those numbers for half the price.
