Default Got Horsepower?

Just received my car back from 21st century Muscle Cars in Carrollton, TX.


Holy ****! This thing is fast. I told John what end result I was looking for and he specd the perfect package to cure my ills, the LPE stage 2 heads and GT11 cam. First of all the guys over at 21st did an excellent job and kept me informed with their progress from start to finish. I cannot think Kenny, Doug, Mike and John enough. These guys are meticulous in their work, everything is absolutely perfect and the car responds just like I wanted it to. I was not willing to sacrifice the daily drivability of my car and this package is incredibly civilized. It idles at 700 rpm, with a nearly stock idle, only the highly trained ear would notice the difference between mine and a stock C6, It will drive along at 1100 rpm without any kind of surging issues, it is just like stock until you mat the pedal, then hang on, all hell breaks loose and it pulls very strongly all the way up to the now 6800 rpm redline.
If you need a boost give John a call over at 21st Century Muscle cars, you will not be dissappointed. Final results were 441 RWHP and 411 FTLB.





Thanks Guys!!!

I would just say that, I got a better deal at 21st than I could find anywhere else.
Talk to John, he will take great care of you.

Congratulations.

I couldn't agree with your more....I had a great experience with 21st Century Muscle Cars. They got my Lingenfelter 403 motor and other modifications done in record time and installed to perfection. They're just 'good people' to do business with...professionally and personally.

I highly recommend 21st Century Muscle Cars....even if it's a long drive...it's worth going with the best!

That GT11 cam with good free flowing heads is a great combo.

I did similar mods and got 430 RWHP and 417 RWTQ from my A4.
