Default Gain 255HP with No Meth? No Problem!

Customer came to us wanting some more power after getting used to the stock setup. So we set him up with our 750SC Package. Needless to say the second we fired it up the customer was all smiles! From the chop of the exhaust to the whine of the supercharger all the way to the clean professional install of the overall build. This customer knew his baby just became that much more powerful! Base lined at 423 RWHP and was delivered packing 678RWHP! That is a 255 RWHP gain with no meth!

I am thinking they meant connecting rods and hard to believe you'd swap out the rods and not put in forged pistons. Guess it could be push rods, but that kind of power with no meth and stock pistons would be "pushing" things. ;-)

Im sure they’re making this power with ~8 psi so pistons aren’t really needed. The power is coming from the cam choice Along with Stevens tune. Just an example of LMR doing the most for the customer and not just drawing a hard line on some power number and making the customer get pistons.

Steven wouldn’t let a car leave the shop that was on the verge of any major failure.

Maybe it just seems a tad risky to me but I suspect you are correct, and LMR does seem to produce solid builds. And after doing all that work... having the heads off and such... one might rue the absence of forged pistons and rods when FyreAnt disease strikes and you need to take the very next step or 3!

I know right. That guy is out of control. Very irresponsible behavior.

Yes sir pushrods. There is a space between push and rods so I can see where you may have thought just rods.
