I wouldn't be concerned in a CTS-V, I'm not concerned in my car

I'll keep looking around though.

Where are you and JP relocating your coil packs to ?


This is a GOOD look...
I think its the KATECH covers.

Yes, that's the look IMO! The relo brackets I referenced over the weekend will get you that look. Yes, these are the Katech covers. Oh, and Austin Barnett does do customer insert work for them if desired

Didn't say that at all, as a matter of fact I love LML. They moved to a bigger shop in Addison btw.. We were talking about 21st and Evan already likes em. Just throwing John and Co some props because they have great customer service.

Regarding the V2, I mean that's cool..the laws of physics don't always agree with our opinions. Regarding your car...no sht you weigh 300-500lbs less and male 100 more whp.

I think I worded my first comment wrong.
From your comment about 21st and how happy you were with them I was curious if you switched tuners for a reason. Glad to hear that you liked the service from both tuners. Having more choice in Dallas is a good thing ! Competition helps to bring prices down !

Evan:

Your right.. Sean is on Dallas Car Sharks (Episode BMW Batting Average).

The guy buys a 1978 Z28 at auction.
Takes it to Sean to tune and a general look over.
Sean dyno's it, tunes the carb, timing etc..., finds a bad distributor too

He is the man. He can even work on the old car's too !

Its cool seeing a buddy on TV !

Sean is also on Episode "Topless Italian Model"

The guy bought a 88 Mustang. Sean dyno'd/tuned it.
Made some quick gains on the tune.

Then they took the guy to the track for some 1/4 mile runs.

Pretty cool !

I guess I took that wrong because I didn't "switch" tuners. I guinea pigged this cam for the LS3 Vette..21st wanted to see if they could get more out of it. After my initial dyno run Matt said he thought he could and he did get 6 more whp out of it. The major tweaks were to my trans tune, but the WOT and partial throttle tunes were pretty damn close.

My bad didn't mean to be snappy. LML does great work and they put out some VERY quick Vettes. They will be big in 2 years time just watch.

Where's the shop? I live close, I'd like to run by and see it some time.

Chevrolet places Corvette in Black Widow’s hands in ‘Captain America: Winter Soldier’
Chevrolet certainly knows how to pick its movie tie-ups. From the indelible association of the Camaro with Bumblebee of “Transformers,” the bowtie brand is now hitching its wagon to the Marvel movie juggernaut. Slated to make an appearance in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is a special black-on-black Corvette Stingray. The Corvette will be guided by the hands of none other than Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff, aka the Black Widow.

Yep, it got a couple of nice shots in the movie. Nothing spectacular, but definitely fun to see.
