Default Twisted Minds Racing/TMR

Don't see to many reviews on google or here on LS1Tech.com Anyone care to share their experience with them? Looking to buy a FBody that was built by them. 347ci that spins to 6800. Eagle rods, Wiseco pistons, stock crank, ARP rod bolts. Not a super strong build, but stronger than stock for sure. Ran a 10.50 @ 134.8 on a 150 shot. 11.48 @ 124 on motor. Both on slicks. T56 and 9" setup.

Just wondering if I should pull the trigger. Cars cost is roughly $10,000. Wondering if anyone has any reason to think buying this car is a bad idea (assuming the owner isn't a total lying jerk).

I've seen that car at the track and at a few meets and it was definitely taken care of. Tommy definitely puts together some solid cars.

I built the engine a few years ago it has JE 3.905 pistons CompStar rods factory crank 243 heads with LS6 exhaust valves a fast 92 intake and a 231/234 cam. It does have about 25K on the engine now but just re dyno'd 423/389 I'm not 100% on the torque but I'll look up his graph when i get a chance. It has a McLeod RXT clutch M9 rear and a bunch of suspension mods. It ran 10.5 on a 150 hit and 11.4 NA and really hasn't been back to the track all year.

The car has the setup to go bottom 10's just like another car I built with a similar setup driver dependant with a M6. Take a look at the car and you can see it has way more in it then the selling price.

Any question PM me if you like.

Tommy put my car together and have been enjoying it for almost 3 years now! I bought a built short block but tommy put the heads, intake, all the other parts besides the bottom end togther. He also installed my fuel pump, injectors, suspension, full exhaust, motor mounts all at the same time. He tuned my car for 3 days, 2 days drivability tune, and 1 day @ the Track making WOT passes. He then let me drive the car for a week and bring it back to him just so he can log it again to see if anything changed. Never met a mechanic/Tuner that spent so much time just to make sure that everything about my car was the way I wanted it! He does that with all of his cars he builds, or even just tunes. His unique style of tuning has rubbed off on other local tuners such as Ron Patton, who does amazing work as well. Up until meeting Tommy my idea of a tune was going on the dyno for 30mins-1hr and getting tuned @ WOT and paying 350-500. Thats my review of the work that Tommy has done on my T/A! Everyone that I have ever talked to had nothing but great things to say about Twisted Minds Racing.
