I wish you guys were a little closer, I would like to see the shop and bend your ear on a nice N/A set up. You guys may have my business next year for a new motor...
How far are you guys from Oceana Naval base? I will be coming down in Sept. for the airshow and if your shop is close it would be cool to stop by and check out the shop and do a little bullshitting....

We're less than a mile from the Oceana naval air station. They fly right over the shop all day long. Our parking lot is the best seat in town for the air show. The runway is literally right on the other side of the tree line from the shop.

I'll be there with the RPM folks. Had a great time the last time you all did this for us! If y'all decide to open up the dyno I may just have to see what the car puts down on the jug...

April 17th? Well good news is that I will be in the area. I land in VA at like 9am. Bad news is I need to do some "check in" stuff for the Navy. How long do you expect it to be? I'm guessing at least by 5pm I'll be free. I'll be staying at Norfolk Naval base, but I won't have my car for the first week or two. If I can't make it out that Saturday, as soon as I get the car in and cleaned up, I'll swing by first chance I get. Hawaii didn't offer too much as far as professional shops, and I'm pretty excited to know you guys are like a 20 minute drive away. Are you guys open on weekends?
