There are so many things that keep the power down on your car.

Most ls6 headed cars have half the miles you do.
The cam may not be dot to dot...
Thats funny cause both me and Josh looked at it.
RPM didnt tune it and gain 11 rwhp.

And whoever said the 1-7/8's headers are hurting the car....you sir don't know what you are talking about. I picked up power on a stock cammed car switching to them.

That's what people get when they talk **** without tryin to get things straitened out first....pains in the ***.
I don't really care about an appointment that was made of some sort at any shop....I don't have any ties to anyone/any shop at the moment. Sounds like you need to take it up with whomever made you sit there all day.

well **** lets see ya'll wanted to rag on me for this so:
-car dies at stop lights.. perfect WOT though.. $400 in tuning spent @ LG and thats fixed
-headers are welded as one piece not flanged so when i took it to Lingenfelter they asked 'who the hell did this?' i told them.
i can't get the output shaft put on cause the headers are 1 piece.
-car is leaking oil after the cam install and i'm put off the first weekend so fine.. i go the next weekend.. shop is empty.. darren was scheduled for a tune as well that day.
-the 4piece welds were not welded all the way around got that fixed when i got the x-pipe done by an exhuast shop like i had paid for the first time.
i was scheduled for an appointment and felt like i was imposing on you guys. **** my bad.
