I'm sure it does. Have they definitively stated that they will have a solution for the LLT? I remember them mentioning it in one of the LFX cams threads, but...

I can't help you with the exhaust question - though I think resonator deletes increase both loudness and rasp - but you might want to do some research on this site regarding the JET MAF. Pretty sure it's not worth the money...

LMR and I spoke through text and he said they are in the makes of making the custom grind for the cams. Since they are doing it for the lfx, why not do the LLT at the same time? Cams are possible, just need a experienced company to take the dive yo make them and since they sponsor the htowncamaroclub, they wanna help all camaros, not just v8s

My mom just got a new explorer about a year ago, and it is always in the garage. My dad has been driving a loaner for the last month.

A car buddy of mine has a Subaru. You can drop that thing out of a plane, without a parachute, and it would still run.

Reminds me of that Top Gear episode where Jeremy puts that truck on top of a building and the building gets blown up.
