It is all good, both Companies are absolutely the best in Customer service, and worked hard to make sure everything would work together. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful family holiday with one notable exception. One of my dealers was murdered in his California shop on Christmas eve.

Sad, to hear. :( All of car nuts are realated by gears, and rubber. I hope the find who did it and put them away for a long time!

As desolate as it is, I had many a great summer in Hazelton, ND on the farm my Mom grew up on!!

Do you have any more info on when this is happening, why and how bad??

Is our 650HP package week on fuel delivery? I assumed that "Properly sized fuel injectors" and the "Kenne Bell Boost-a-pump fuel pump voltage booster" was good enough to supply enough fuel at WOT???

I've got a real mixture on mine....... Fully Pedderized bushings, Pfadt Trailing Arms, BMR Toe Rods and Hotchkis Braces.

Maybe my next buid i will stick to just one brand.... but so far all parts play nice together

I upgraded mine and the injectors just to be sure. No worries now, even if i upgrade to a 427 wink, wink

Power is falling off a bit on the high end of the rpms, and am getting some engine codes. I think it is just one of those things, Ryan and Graham are on it, so I am sure it wont last long. That is one of the reasons for going with LPE they always make it right.
As good as they are sometimes parts dont work right, but rest assured they make it right!

Spot on.

[mws444]

Believe it or not, I even know of an instance where they flew a tech across country to fix a car. Now that is what I call service!! They are the best at what they do period. However just like anyone they are at the mercy of the parts they use, and they use the best. As anyone in manufacturing can tell you about as close to perfect is in the 99th percentile.
Now if I could just get the kind of luck that lands me into the sub 1 percentile to work on the lottery.....
The way I look at it, is this is a perfect time to do a little more modding.

Yes, I've already seen LPE's response with minor issues (That ended up NOT being an issue at all)- but they clearly stand behind anything they do. It is refreshing to know and see that kind of customer support by standing behind their work.

I haven't had a chance to go to the drag strip yet since I got my car back this past November- so I haven't really pushed the car yet to the higher rpm range. Please update us when they come up with the fix. I wasn't really sure what the Kenne Bell fuel pump voltage booster actually did. I am guessing now that maybe a different fuel pump may be in order that may or may not need to use this voltage booster? Is the voltage booster used to match fuel supply response needed for the maggie?

The Kenne Bell works in our case because it raises the voltage going to the pump. In otherwords it send higher voltage which in turn makes the pump run faster thus increasing the amount of fuel it can deliver. Everything I have heard and read on the boost a pump says it is good up to double the fuel output and have seen as much as 1000 hp twin turbo Vettes running one. I doubt it is the boost a pump, but could be a vacuum leak.
