Default LG Motorsports modded my 06' Z

and did one hulluva job. Thanks a lot to all you guys.

You all run a first-class operation. I was very impressed with the
whole thing. Especially, all of the awesome cars that were there
getting work done. None more than the LMBZ from Oklahoma. . .
. . . . . That guy has definitely got one of the baddest
corvettes on the planet!!!

I drove up from Tampa to Dallas and dropped the car off. When it was
done, I flew back to Dallas and Anthony picked me up at the airport.
Thanks again. . On the ride back to the shop, I felt like
a little kid going to Chuckie Cheese or something, very excited!!!

Mod's include LG longtune headers, G7X3 cam, Halltech air intake,
Exedy twin disk clutch, 160 thermostat, heatshields, exhaust
bypass switch, and of course, a tune.

What a beast this thing is. . . The best way to describe it is like this, remember how in awe of your car you were when you first got it? Like anything, you get used to it. Well, right now, I again, am in total awe of the car. It seems ungodly fast and it sounds incredible.

On the dyno, the cars numbers were 535.8rwhp/507.1rwt. I couldn't be happier with it. I had a great 1200 mile ride home. I would recommend you all to anyone who is considering ANY type of mod to their car. Again, thanks a lot LGM. . . .

. . . very well put!!!

The car still gets roughly 20mpg on the highway. In town,
I believe it's around 3-4mpg. . .

Thanks, it was nice working with you guys too. See you in about
a year for some more upgrades. . . .

Checked out JJ's car today. Happens to be we live not too far apart. He was nice enough to meet up with me and let me check his mods out. Car sounds really good with the cam and longtubes running through the stock mufflers with the LG switch. I really can't imagine anyone needing different mufflers as they are now much louder than when stock. Install looked really clean and I noticed there was lots of room between headers and dry sump oil lines. Z had a pretty good chop at idle. All in all, I liked it alot!
