GPI Make Over

I just wanted to give the guys at GPI Props for the work they did on my 2011 Camaro SS Vert. They installed the SS1 VVT cam, CHE Trunnions, GMPP Lifters, Cometic Head Gaskets, GPI Pushrods, BT Valve springs along with other supporting parts. They also installed a new set of Kooks LT Headers that I had Jet Hot Coated inside and out, HF Cats and hooked it up to my Catback Borla Exhaust. Then installed the 3.91 gears and put a tune in it. Dyno showed 439.8 RWHP so I am gonna call it 440 RWHP
Drove it back to Southern IL and had a smile on my face. Huge difference in the Car!

Extremely satisfied with the care and service I got! Thanks especially to James, and Ronnie for all the preplanning he helped me with. I appreciate them putting up with any impatience I may have displayed, but it has been trying times here and patience has wore thin. The car has been something to help keep my mind occupied and retain some sanity. As you All know the car is not done, but I do have a Good start on it!

Whether you are ordering parts to install yourself, looking for guidance/advice, or need someone for a tune or install. These guys are Bar None, hands down the Best I have dealt with through the work that has been done on my 80 Corvette or my Gen 5 Camaro! 5 Stars all the way!

I have enjoyed every minute I get behind the wheel. It was a short ride home to Southern Illinois from Little Rock, AR.
If I am not driving it or the Vette I am driving my Ol Farm Truck. Did a pretty impressive burnout with it the other day.
