It's from their dyno, but if you look on anyone's mods with the same cam also known as "HPE C-Cam" on the GTO boards my numbers are within 5-6whp. But I have the ASP 25% reducer UD which could account for that. So they are right in line.

They've tuned my brother's 03 Cobra, it's S/C. No problems there.

I don't know, I'm not going to sit here and knock you. Because I've had bad experiences in the past with another tuner and got blasted because it seemed as though I was the only one who had trouble with his tunes. To each their own I guess. Tuners make mistakes too I guess.

And if they'd just admit that I'd never say another word about them.

Hahaha, didn't see this. Yeah took it to the track yesterday. Time to upgrade the clutch big time. Slipping like hell off the line. Not smoking, but from 4k I could dump it and it would sound like I was using it to launch. 60's were in the 2.4's. Best time was 12.8@112. I also put stock mufflers back on it, and they seem to hold it back some. So I might take them back off just for track use either this coming Wed. or Fri so I can go to the T&T at RD.

It needs to breathe, SLP LT's into stock exhaust isn't exactly healthy cam friendly

how do those SLP LT's hold up on the GTO, Do they take away an 1" or two of clearance like on the F-body's?

No they are awesome. Actually to me it looks like I have better clearance because the exhaust from the LT's has to angle down to meet with the catback. I got them because they were the best deal at $899 w/cats. GP on the GTO forums. Most headers for these cars w/cats are 1200-1500

Richmond, I think. The other STS guy in the 757 wants to get some times on his car. I think there's a chance it's going to beat mine.

Justin, get some other people together and ill ride along.

back on topic....

B&L racing isnt a big shop like some of the others, but they stand by their work and will help you out in anyway they can. id go there if you couldnt make the trek down to CAM.
