Can’t thank you guys enough. Built and tuned a badass Cobra. Still amazed how much power was made on 18lbs. She’s definitely happy!
You certainly have an awesome setup, with Kevin's "secret sauce" tune delivering the power/torque to put a huge smile on your face. He's an ACE!

Thing is freaking awesome! Them Gen 5's are no joke! Just ordered a 3.8 with billet rotors for my Trackhawk. Psyched!

I personally did not get to meet Joe but I spoke with him briefly on the phone. He sounds like a very nice guy and was very helpful!

What throttle body do you have?

Keep reading about issues with one of the TB that come with the Gen5.

Haven’t even opened my box to see what I have lol.

Very cool! How long did it take L&M to build your motor start to finish?

They tore into the motor Feb. 25th and shipped the finished motor back June 14. When they opened the factory motor, they found more damage than anticipated. Parts hard to be ordered which at that time things took forever to get in. The time they actually spent working on it once they had everything was about 3-4 weeks.
