We would again like to thank the LS1 community for all the replies, comments, and compliments recieved over the last couple of months, it is very appreciated.

As for the price on the kits, we wanted to make a quality part that would actually benifit the performance of a vehicle, not just look like another bling-bling part under the hood. Obviously we would not make a product and not expect to make some return on it, but at the same time try not to brake potential customers. Thanks again to all those who have puchased the kit and thanks for the support.

AMW has done the homework on these. I can't wait for my bracket from Dark Age 53, it'll be here tomorrow.
Your right...the quality far exceeds price.

...After a lengthy, painful, and never ending 427 project I appreciate the suppliers that are in this business for the right reasons (customers 1st). I've been most impressed with Thunder Racing and AMW . Keep up the good work Todd.

This is how I mounted mine:





This is how much I have collected after about 220miles with it on!

Ditto about the quality. I have the can and the bracket. I truly believe anyone with a LS1/6 should have this can. My detonation has gone away!!

It's stainless steel wool.

Glad you got yours Levi. I've had mine for a few months and love it. I didn't get that bracket, but it looks good none the less...

It looks great Jason. You're doubling up on the PCV system, eh? I notice a air compressor filter inline as well

I'll get pics of mine w/bracket installed after the bracket arrives

that compressed air filter is actually in line with the connection from the TB to the passenger valve cover (next to the oil fill cap). I noticed a little oil coming from that connection as well as the PCV, so I decided to play it safe
