I wouldnt ever go to a dealer for work like that, they rape you.

I saw the Adams products down there and I just couldn't spend the money.

Agreed...I've decided I will take mine to Spartan when I'm ready to pull the trigger

Has anyone found MTI to be a bit pricey on labor costs?

Hahaha, pretty much.

I think Josh at Spartan has gotten most of my issues straightened out with the turbo now. Maybe I will be able to make a meet or something. Be good to see folks again.

Holy crap! Neal?!? Is that really you?!? Haha

Glad you finally got everything worked out with the car! Definitely make it out to a meet. I think we are working on something in January for a dyno day at Vengeance.

Anyone else seen fuel mileage drop off on their LS3 since it's gotten cooler? Drove down to Macon to visit my parents this weekend and was only getting about 18mpg compared to the usual 22mpg when going 80 with the cruise set. I know my mileage sucks around town, but usually it does better on the interstate than that.

And I have axles to return lol.

Just to give everybody an update, I'm finalizing plans for a club meet/Dyno day at Vengeance on Saturday January 4th. I'll post the official details and post a thread in the southeastern section when Ron gets back to me. I should have a price for Dyno runs as well. I was thinking we hang out at vengeance for a few hours and then cruise to somewhere to eat.

Are you using the car's avg mileage report? It could be averaging way back unless you reset it recently.
FWIW I drove 900 miles this weekend and the last three tanks I measured 22 mpg Friday (60-70s and rain) and 20 & 20 mpg Sunday (30-40 degrees).

I reset everything everytime I fill up. Recently changed brands of air filter, that might have something to do with it. Saw some things about winter gas reading around, but I don't think they change blends here. Guess it's about time to add a CAI and headers to free it up some. Steve Rayman does have a black 2014 1LE with Recaro's that's very tempting though!
