BenKey Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 It beats the price I got quoted from LPE. I'll bet it does. I found "better" deals myself, but every car nut I talked to said the same thing: Pay LPE--it's money well spent. One anecdote: I called Ed Potter at LPE after the install and asked him about the programmer that was supposed to come with the Radix (and which I never received). He said, "Oh, we throw those away and use our own." My kind of place. These folks know what they're doing. Yeah, then they resale YOUR programmer. I'd go back and get it. What if you want to change shift points, or whatever? You paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lock it down after they are done, so selling it or throwing it away is about your only options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsoftball Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 After waiting for over three weeks I was really exited to see the UPS man last night with my Radix. Only one slight poblem though, he only delived box 2 of 2. So I have a box of accessories and bolt for a supercharger but no supercharger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine goes in after the Corsa install, 9-25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsoftball Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 No, I did not get the polished version. According to UPS it is out for delivery right now. I got the garage ready to go. I am on leave (military) the rest of the week so I may be out there burnin up the roads (and some gas) by friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be right behind you by a couple of weeks, so help a shipmate out . I don't think it will be hard, just concerned about any "of shi*s". Good luck and hope you're digging into it soon. Don't forget pics. -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsoftball Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I will definately give you a heads up on anything I find while I am doing mine. It really does seem like a pretty straight forward install though. Of course nothing is ever as easy as it seems. If I recall I heard you say you were in P-Cola right? I am actually going to be there in a few weeks for a Chief course (Not LTC but some other class) maybe I will buy you a beer at the Club there and give you the lowdown on the install.

SinisterSS Posted September 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 SCHWING! Are you going to use LS1Edit or the programmer that comes with the blower? If you're throwing away the programmer, ship it my way! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, stuck here in P-cola. When exactly are you going to be here and for how long? Bringing the truck? Want to help me install mine? Be happy to let you buy me that beer. What pulley did they ship with yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
