No 1/4 mile times yet. I had just received the drag pack for the Ennis event.
Hopefully soon...

Which event?

Also, how was your experience overall with AMP? Another posted eluded to the poor ethical decision an AMP associate made last year, and subsequent negative reaction from AMP to defend it. But this is the internet and hard to discern fact from fiction.

I will throw my 2c in here... Sam, Bryan and Josh have all been great to me at AMP. They installed the DSX low side and meth kit in my 2017 ZL1, and it will be going back for some more work once I get back from deployment. I do not know the story on the other deal, bit they have been very good to me.

I have no idea. But the track prep at Ennis has been amazing as of late. Combine that with the cooler temps and the conditions are near perfect for record ETs.

I had a great experience with AMP! The only delay was awaiting the ported blower from Kong. And that was not unexpected as I was one of the early adopters.

I expressly appreciate their tech taking the time to disassemble and blueprint my oil pump before reassembling the top end of the motor! it's not a guarantee that it won't fail but it does provide some piece of mind.

Didn't GM change oil pumps for 2019 model year? I haven't seen any reports of failures for 2019's, but could be wrong. If it stays that way i will probably swap pumps when doing a cam swap rather than take the chance. Is there an aftermarket pump avail as well?

I thought GM fixed the oil pump issue for the 2018 model for the zl1.

Pretty easy to discern actually when the occasion in question has video evidence and Sam Miller himself was defending it on Facebook...

To each their own but it only takes one issue like this for me to know I'd never do business with them when there are many shops out there just as capable with no shady biz.
