At MTI if its not a LS based motor they probably will not work on it. Have a friend with an LT4 powered C4 and they would not work on his engine.

Yes, give us a call. Our cam kits make more power on a consistant basis than all the local competition. And our tuning is top notch GM quality. Even the biggest cams drive smooth after leaving our shop. Just give us a call... I might be able to set you up for under you budget. It is typically more than that, but we'll see what we can do!

If you are looking for budget and quality...email me at txguy2400@aol.com. I have an LT based Corvette that I have had and been racing since the mid to early 90's. HPE does do great work from what I hear, but I figured I would offer because I know that budget can be tight at times. I am in the Katy area.
