Cyrus, How are you?

You know my feelings about LPE, they are the premier engineers and technicians in engine work, IMO. The quality of their work is amazing, and there is nothing that they cannot do. As a good friend of mine from Australia said..."Their cars have more grunt than a pig in a microwave."
There is no comparison, they are the best. Good luck with your project....

TRJ,

Did you get your car yet? If I am not mistaken you were supposed to get it today. Tell us all about the ride once you get to play

Not yet Cyrus, a bit of a delay on the Dyno. Should complete the calibration, and final Dyno run on Monday, and I'll get the car Tuesday or Wednesday.

I was an F-Body guy in my previous life and utilized many SLP products. I thought highly of the SLP Firehawks and SS Z28's... but to me, having an LPE worked car was the ultimate.

Finally I had the chance and it's everything I thought it would be. Top-notch shop and service. Jeff answered every question, no matter how many I would keep throwing at him. The car is phenominal and the name on the coil covers and side fenders garners lots of attention at cruise-ins.

My only regret is that I couldn't go with one of the super-powered 1000+ rwhp packages.
