Bought this in November but it took me awhile to find the time to detail it for some good pics and I figured it was about time I made it official.
2012 Grand Sport, had 7200 miles when I bought it. Only thing it really needed was some new tires as it still had the GY run flats on it that were hard as a rock.
Has the Edelbrock supercharger with ARH long tubes and ARH high flow catted X-pipe into the NPP exhaust, Sounds awesome.
The PO said he remembers it being over 530rwhp, I don't have the dyno sheet. Sounds about right from other threads I have read. All the goodies were installed by LMR in Houston back in late 2013,
I bought it from a Vette dealer but when the Title came in the mail I looked up the PO and found out he owns a small company in Houston, so I called him up at his office one day. He was very nice, we talked for about 20 minutes but he didn't remember a whole lot from 5 years ago, he did say Dyno was over 600 and rwhp was around 530-535, like I said that seems to be what these put down. I'll post the work receipt form LMR if I can find it. The dyno was done at "Houaton house of power" in houston texas.
Not bad for $2k labor for what I assume is the 1591 kit and getting 500+ to the wheels. Guessing that cost is close to industry standard for roots and maybe a bit less for centrifugal. Unfortunately I'll have to pay a little more for the dry sump, but hopefully I can make it up doing the headers/thermostat myself.
Thanks for posting that, and also, very nice car.

Nice purchase. I bought my 12 GS almost two years ago with 7800 miles. LMR does top notch work. Enjoy
Yea, I had heard of them before but looked up reviews anyway, seems they were more favorable back in the 2013 time frame but still fine now too. People had nothing but good things to say.
It's great to get a professional install on all the stuff but like most on here I have a hard time paying for labor and prefer to do things myself. Glad I didn't have to under take this job with my floor jack and creeper.
Nice car, but whats all the green stuff around you? Everything here is brown and dead outside. Damn I hate winter.
Ha, I'm from Cincy originally, grew up in the Mt. Healthy / Greenhills area, moved to seven hills and up to West chester and back to college hill before calling it quits and joining the Navy.
We did have a couple of weeks of frigid 40* weather, it was brutal. I remember those Ohio winters, no thanks.

Yea this is the most bipolar weather area. But if its not freezing cold and snowing its more than likely raining. I use to live in Tampa, and I miss the weather with being able to go out and have fun anytime. But for now I just see my bike and car under the covers in the garage.
