Default My HCI Build at Horsepower Addicts, DE

1) Decided to take action wrt exh valve/guide issue on my 24K 08Z & contacted Josh at Horsepower Addicts for solutions & pricing. Had multiple phonecons and found him to be very knowledgeable & eager to answer all questions. Wanting to boost performance and street presence (cam lope and exhaust note) as well as peace of mind we settled on an approach modifying heads (REV SS valves, BTR dual spring kit, bronze guides, milling .030") adding a Torquer 110 cam, GM lifters, installing 1-7/8" ARH longtube headers w/catted x-pipe, Halltech mf-103 w/Beehive CAI and dyno tune.
2) Josh gave me an itemized quote before starting, scheduled my car wrt to his workload & returned it when promised. The work was done in a meticulous (I am picky) & professional manner. Car was kept indoors for the entire stay ☺. Shop is immaculate.
3) While not trying to build a race car but a fun driver, the car is a Beast with UNREAL bottom end, a nasty exhaust lope & great driveability manners to boot. Dynoed @530.56 rwhp & 491.3 tq. I am very pleased with every aspect of my involvement with HPA!!

Yeah, Josh & Steve are the best in my book. They are 200+ miles from my house but well worth the drive.

OK, I'm not up on the OEM psi spring. What is that?

Congrats!!!

Josh dose great work and is very honest. Plus he gets the job done in a reasonable amount of time. I had my car in his shop a few months ago for the heads and cam package. My car made 680whp on 7psi. I will be back this month for a new RXT twin disk.

I wasn't very clear before. I went OEM exhaust valves , bronze guides, with psi beehive springs. I wish I had the funds for the intake and headers but I needed tires as well. I drove 150 miles also.

Nice, I just got mine back from ECS with the same cam and CAI, only diff is I have Kooks, no cats, and WCCH stage 2 (which are basically ported/milled/polished stock heads plus the "weak parts" replaced) and made 540/512
Torquer 110 is one hell of a beast
