I dropped my car off at RPM Motors in Santa Clarita on Saturday. Charlie and Keith have been awesome to deal with so far. Charlie gave me a tour of the facility, including his machine/engine building shop, etc. Speaking with Charlie and Keith validated my decision in choosing them for this install. I counted three 2010 Camaros, at least 6 Corvettes, a GXP, etc. etc. I was impressed. These pics were sent to me 15 minutes ago. I can't wait to pick it up! I am super-picky so I will arrive with a magnifying glass.

Update: I picked up the car 11/14 and wow! Very clean install, and I also asked them to mod the engine cover to work with the maggie and Charlie and company did a fantastic job! I'll scan and post the dyno sheet when I get a chance.
I got there and Charlie took me for a ride in my car...he turned the stab and trac controls off and WOW! Talk about getting thrown back in the seat! As people attested, it drives and sounds stock until you mash the gas pedal. No need to downshift from 4th to get away from most things anymore. Mash the go pedal in 4th, hear the whine, and you are gone! I thoroughly enjoyed the 60 mile drive home.
The weird thing for me is, the car seems to sound/run much smoother now than it ever did before Maggie. On the trip there to drop the car off, I averaged 23mpg on the highway. On the trip back with the Maggie, I averaged 26mpg on the same stretch.

I love the whine!
Monday 11/6 - Got a follow-up call from RPM Motors, just making sure all is good with the car, etc.

and re-assurance that they got my back.

Nice bunch of guys.

can you post pics of the modded engine covers?

POWERFREAK · 11-24-2009, 10:43 PM

WOW...looks great. Especially w/ the engine cover.

And better MPG too!

Makes me want to get blown.

Tell us about the engine cover mod.. were there fabricated mounts to keep it held on? How or did you mount the heat material on the bottom of the cover? When you cut the 2 engine sections out, didn't that get in the way of the mounting brackets on the bottom? Pics would be nice.
