We aren't ignoring anyone. We just get so many people who just come to look at cars one or two times and never come back. Not to even mention the people we get that stop by and try to bullshit us about their cars. It just gets old. So we are a little skeptical about people who show up once or twice. No one gets ignored unless they make it obvious they dont want to talk to any of us and are stand-offish.

Josh is right, stop by Jersey Mikes on Western and we'll see what we can do. I can tell you this, when it comes to paying someone to work on an LT1, it wont be a couple of dollars

Oh yeah, practically impossible unless you're a midget with really strong hands and a magic wand....









NOT. Yes, clearances are a little tight, and some of the design makes you wonder what they were smoking... but it ain't exactly rocket science. Decent set of tools, add a couple specialty extensions and swivels, any decently talented guy can work on an LT1.

I think working on them becomes very easy once you know your way around them. If those guys have such a hard time with LT1s, maybe they don't.

Yeah its bad when you know the tq specs and the bolts sizes from memory. A stock LT1 is a pain in the *** to work on. Once you start pulling off some of the bullshit, its easy.

well everything is done except its only likes to go fast or should i say pedel to the floor if its not going fast then its really jerky i thought mybe the o2 sensor so i looked at that but that wasant it. then i changed the maf with a different one but everything is new so i think it might be a tune. and lt1 are really easy to work around with headers and that only really helps changing the plugs out.
