Default Thanks to CMS!

Thanks, again, to another fine job by the guys at CMS.

I had a TH-400 installed, along with a 5,000 RPM stall, EFI Connection LS1 PCM conversion, bigger cam (much bigger!), and a bunch of little things done, along with a tune done on my LT1 (385 CI, ported LT4 heads/intake, HR cam, M6, 12-bolt, spool. etc.). I know not as mighty as the LSx platform, but this combo is stout enough to hold it's own against most LSx out there N/A.

Again, everything works, and CMS would not turn the car over until it was perfect, and it is! Drives great, makes awesome power (422rwhp through the drive train mentioned), and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend these guys to anyone looking for anything from minor bolt on's to a full blown engine re-build. These guys are the real deal. I've had them work on my C6 Z06, and next we will be fuel injecting my BBC Chevelle! The LS1 PCM is very powerful, and I am impressed to say the least.

A few passes to learn this LTx N/A with the TH-400 with the new power it makes, but it will be back for a 200 shot soon, and then an LQ9 turbo build.

Thanks again!

A man with a plan... The car is going to cross over to a 800+whp build very soon. I just want to learn to be consistent with it and win some money with it at PSCA or SCEDA. A consistent 10.90 ET with it should be enough for some money.

And to take nothing away from the guy/shop who built the 385 in it...

Bottlefed Racing in Redlands (Frank) built the 385 originally and did an outstanding job! CMS will attest to the cleanliness of a platform they normally do not touch...

Much better that the 383 that DLA originally built for the car - what a disaster!

Keep up the good work and the incredible integrity you guys have. Spent more than my fair share on other shops, and yours is the best. I'll be back, and I will recommend it to all my friends with Z06's and race cars.
