Old guy, new company. Hello from GSS Speedshop Hi guys, Its been a while, some things have changes, some things haven't!
Most of you remember me as Plain old Louis, the guy that worked at LG, and brought you the APS upgrades as well as a slew of other stuff.
I decided that working for the family business just wasnt working out so I ventured out with a good friend and started GSS a few months ago.
We currently hold the fastest 76mm powered 6 speed supra on boost alone, as well as the fastest supra powered by E85.
The car has gone a best of 8.86@160

Why Am I here?
The last 10 years of my life have been devoted to the LS platform, Im planning on continuing that as Its something I truly enjoy.
Here are some shop and event pics. We have been open for a little more than 3 months now, doing well.
Take care! Im going to post a special on APS upgrades here in the next few days

Louis was the best thing that happened to my Silverado...1999 daily driver with a 6.0l, front-mount 82mm turbo, running consistent 11.3's @ 12#'s on a conservative tune.
I highly recommend him every chance I get. Money-back guarantee on his work and knows his stuff....tuning, fabrication, suspension, you name it. I doubt there are any other shops with his expertise, the guarantee, and after-the-sale service.
....and Ryan has kind eyes.

The first picture was taken by my old college roomate.
Small world.
Is that Sprehe's car?
EDIT - After perusing your website, I see he is involved. Tell him he is a queer.
Love,

Thanks guys!
The shop is nice and big, ask Tiago
You can pull in the shop with a trailer hooked up and park it inside! Its a little tight, but we've fit 4 trailers in there and a lot of cars 
As for the onsite alignment, its one thing Im really good at. A simple corner balance, toe and thrust setup can totally transform a car. Having spent years in Pro Road racing like ALMS and Grand am, you are forced to bring a 110% car to every event. Chassis setup had to be spot on, or you were at the back of the pack.
We do a lot of road racing events as well, and like any race weekend, its always a good idea to see where the setup is, just like the engine tuneup on the car. Its just as important, but often overlooked.
I did both of these cars in Houston, and the results were nothing short of fantastic. The White GT is Mullet on the boards, or Joe Dirt. I took a degree and change of negative camber out of it in order to increase the contact patch on the street and for the mile.

I wish you guys were closer, I could use some of your expertise gettting down the 1/4 mile
The GSS shop is HUGE! we visited when they first opened up for a private track rental up there and pulled into their front bay door truck and trailer, etc, and dropped the trailer off and drove the truck out, was pretty funny, you can see my car in a couple of those pics
