Default Huge props to HPE!!!!
After a long wait my car is finally finished and running stong, im not going to go into all the details of everything that was done but to name a few, 408, stage 3 heads, custom cam......car put down 496.5 rwhp and 466 rwtq. This is with my crappy corsa, going to go back and get exhuast redone and should be well over 500 with ease. Thanks for all the hard work done at HPE, thanks to Chuck for GREAT customer service and keeping me updated, and of course a great tune! Wouldnt take my car anywhere else! Thanks again guys! You will be seein me again soon!
