Default LMR1000 C7Z from Dyno to 185 mph at Ocala

Well this was a build we will never forget. We took in this car right after the WannaGoFast event in Dallas back in November when the customer suffered a catastrophic engine failure on an early run. The car was built by another shop, but we were at the track in Dallas with another customer and helped out Mr Riggall the owner of this car. Log story short he shipped us the car immediately following the Dallas 1/2 mile event in November and we got to work on pulling the engine and rebuilding the car to make the Ocala 1/2 mile event.

We couldn't be more pleased with how the car turned out. There were many little things we had to get fixed on this car beyond just dropping a new motor in it. However, the guys in the shop worked their asses off to get this car ready for the event and the results show! At LMR we take pride in meeting our deadlines and superseding our customers expectations. We finished this car last Thursday night and put it on a trailer Friday morning headed to Florida!

Steven supported Mr Riggall remotely with tuning all weekend! That's how we take care of customers at LMR!

Mr Riggall went 185 (which I am pretty sure was the fastest C7 at the event)

Build is:

LME 416
F1X
LMR heads and Cam
Port Injection
A2W

This is not an accurate account or unfolding of events of how the car build went at LMR.. In fact, many things were not done correctly, or at all...The heads and cam are LME, not LMR. Please remove these posts and the rest on the internet associating LMR with this car immediately, please. That video was not authorized for release.. I would not recommend this shop to anyone unless they want one excuse after another and very unethical business practices.

Not sure who this is but it seems you have a problem with my business here at LMR. The owner of the vehicle you are speaking about obviously does not share your opinion as he was just back at the shop on Friday talking to us about how awesome the car is and how he is looking forward to the next event. I am sorry if something in the past has made you dis like myself or my business but if you have any issues please feel free to contact me anytime and I will be glad to take care of or handle anything I can for you.

James has a history of bad mouthing people. You have to ignore everything that comes out of his mouth.

You say that as your **** transmission tune fried his trans in a handful of passes and you told him to pack sand.... So obviously you have a beef with James, and he with you.

This thread was posted in the C7Z06 section. NOT the Transaction Feedback section. If you want to share feedback, please do it there. Theres no place for bad-mouthing vendors here in C7Z.

C'mon, that really wasn't appropriate.

This is the SECOND thread of LMR's where they are getting caught in the crossfire in THEIR OWN THREAD! First it was LG and Amp in another LMR thread, now this. You guys need to argue in a new thread if its got nothing to do with the original post.

Thats moving out for sure.

i have a question for LMR here since you guys have done a lot of C7Z at your shop. There are a lot of guys running the F1 procharger on the stock internals. Why would you upgrade the internals on the engine. Just curious on what is the weak points of the LT4 and at what power level
