Install was completed on Wednesday. EJ @ 21st century in Dallas did an excellent job

Tuning is still not complete. We have a single users LS1 edit cable for it, and it must be faulty. We could get no connection with it. We were able to download the PCM with another Edit cable, but cannot program the changes with the faulty one. Waiting on carputing to get it straightened out.

I got to hear the first startup, and I must say that it sounds great! The exhaust is very tame with the cutouts closed. It revvs up so fast and so hard. With cutouts open, its deafning. Like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.

It will not idle correctly with the addition of more cubes, aggressive cam, and larger injectors.

The near virgin LQ9 now has a new home in my garage.

If anyone hears / sees this pull up next to them in the DFW area, beware! You will know it, it has a very healthy sound and a nice lope.


Here is another shot of the dual 3" X-pipe, cutouts, and Magnaflows:

BigTex... do you own/work at a speed shop in D/FW? I live in this area and would be nice to go to a place that is trustworthy.

Thanks!

I wish. I could do this stuff 24 hours a day. Unfortunately, I dont have a shop or work at one. This is www.21stcenturymotorsports.com . It is John Lingenfelter's Daughters and her husbands shop. They do some nice high dollar stuff. Ive seen tons of C5s, several Vipers, and quite a few SUVs there. There was a Denali with with new Magna installed on Tuesday. Also met a guy with a new Silverado SS looking into getting a SC installed. Prices may be high, but its great looking at the goods they have and they did excellent work on this install.
