[QUOTE="CCO, post: 23436, member: 970"] Hey Wayne : yes to the cam but I was so amazed at the action I completely forgot to take pics. Luckily Manny remembered with a few with his cam phone and he'll post them up when he gets a chance I'm sure. Manny is the Man! My impression of the LG system is that it is simply awesome. On my NPP system with the valves open there is some beautiful resonant music playing back there at all rpm's -- from idle to whatever. The 'music' is bearable (to these old bones) and not aggressive at all and quiet compared to some systems. I should explain that the OEM mufflers are still on the car for now and, to me, compliment the sound nicely. They also have the optional NPP system that I adapted my 'Mild-to-Wild controller to for control of these valves at any time instead of opening/closing at 3500 rpm's. The ECU was tuned to correct the A/F ratio and reprogram fan cut-in temp and to accommodate the cooler, 160* 'stat. The TCU tune was reprogrammed to yield firmer (tho not harsh) trans shift. I would say in the few miles that I have driven with it that it is doing its job: Shifts are firmer and more noticeable. Just the way I like it and apparently keeps heat down in the tranny due to less slippage than the OEM 'granny' shifting. Sorry Granny, I loves ya but you have no clue how to shift a Corvette automatic. It shifts now how it should from the factory. A 'vette that shifts like a Cadillac just doesn't cut it. Installed system looks very clean......the long tubes are so beautiful to see and lead into a new H pipes and high-flo cats and finally into the OEM NPP equipped mufflers. Those of you who hear it will love it as I do. I'm sure Manny, Rob and the few who heard it liked it right away and were duly impressed with their handiwork. Haven't lit her up yet but it does feel more responsive in the relatively sedate driving I have gotten in and I wouldn't doubt that I netted the promised 30 odd ponies from the headers and pipes, and a few from the ECU tune. I'm betting the more sane (read much less) torque management built into the TCU tune will have a dramatic effect on shifts and performance. Manny is the Man -- Mucho thanks to him and Rob for working their magic on my precious new ride. ONe more person to lend his expertise was Chuck Mosello more commonly known as Chuck Cow of "Cow Tuning" fame from Ossining, New York. Great guy to have on our side and along with Manny's experience, make an unbeatable pair. It seems that between them, there is not much they don't know about tuning . I'm sure many of your have heard of Chuck and attended his last visit a couple years back. We're all hoping that he can come up here again this summer so see us and share his vast knowledge of ECU/TCU tuning maybe even at a dyno somewhere not too far away. Stay tuned. Manny is very busy as you all know, but I'm hoping he'll take a few and post up the pics of my new LG system. Humble apologies for not taking my own pics. I'm usually much more attentive but as said was amazed at his magic and completely forgot. Cheers, Colin [/QUOTE]
