Who has had experience with Race Proven Motorsports located at 130 Hickman Road Claymont DE?

I am looking for a shop to get my camaro tuned and I have spoken with them over the phone and looked at their website.

Looking for good and bad experiences.

Thanks

They are one of our largest vendors for our drivetrain products. They are a very stand up company with a great reputation. You can't go wrong with them.

I haven't heard a bad thing at all about them. I've spoke with Fran on a few occasions and he's always been quite professional and ready to help.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. It is exactly what im looking for.

I had a bad experience with fran........................







































his house is bigger then mine
:search:

all kidding aside. fran is top notch in the area. you wont be dissapointed

Proof as they say is in the pudding.

Reputable shop, great customer service.

Just did my Cam install and tune. Top notch and knowledgable guys. Thier name actually says a lot about them as many of their customer and shop cars perform very well on the track.

Youtube them for those videos.

So far my person experiance is outstanding....

Watch out Fran is a tea bag tickler..

Other than that my experience has always been good..

I've been very happy with their service and overall professionalism. I consider myself a picky customer as well.

how can that be bad? :jest::swing:

I got my parts and tuned by them. Every single one them are awesome dudes! Highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed!

They have tuned my cars and done work on one. Always a great experience and always some good car eye candy in the shop.

Top notch shop, you will not be dissapointed.

RPM rocks... Fran will take care of you.

Never heard a bad word.

They are great im goin back Tuesday for a retune. For my heads/cam swap.

The shop sucks because it is so close so its hard not to spend money. The only shop thats allowed to touch my vehicles.

I walk into their shop and get HP envy. God I wish I could afford to have them build my car proper.

yup only shop that works on my car too

I love the Dookie out of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RPM FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(On a serious note, I do bring my car there and have been so happy with the service of Fran and all the guys there!!!!

Took mine there.... very happy, only complaint I have is that they are 3 hrs away....

They did my cam. I can't complain, the car runs strong as Hell now. but I think they reused my gaskets as I have a nice oil leak now lol.

Only bad thing about them is how busy they are. Worth the wait though.

Def. I sent a couple people there after myself.

Wouldn't take my ride anywhere else. Can't beat Fran and his crew.

Just got a tune Yesterday. Another Great visit. Thanks

Took my CTS-V to Fran and RPM after hearing great things about them. I had other choices in the tri-state area, but I couldn't ignore their success on the track. Initially the car was scheduled for wear and tear upgrades. Poly bushings for the entire drivetrain and shifter. After realizing the car would already be there for this work, I asked them for a quote on Kooks headers and Corsa exhaust, tune, and have most of the fluids changed. Dropped the car off in late February and had it back sometime in March (delay on Kooks' end manufacturing connections pipes).

I cannot begin to express how happy I am with the car. The drivetrain feels much better, with only minimal "clunking" which is related to the stock clutch and flywheel. And the car sounds great; much better than I ever anticipated. Everyone that I came to meet during that time (Fran, Bill, Roshan (sp?), and Max) were awesome. Bill was quick to answer emails and was always happy to field my questions over the phone.

And, what I consider a very nice gesture, they even washed the car for me. RPM is a solid shop that appreciates the value of "taking care of their customers."

I'll be back soon for another round of modifications. They have my business for life.

Very fair shop. Put in a torque arm for me and as per my request went over the rest of my suspension to check to see if anything was wrong, and even let me watch, explained to me about various bushings and how to replace them. Then cooked me chicken on the grill for lunch. I understand watching is most likely annoying, but I had terrible experiences with previous shops always screwing up my car (lifting it improperly, losing some of my wheel stud covers, bending my exhaust). Their professionalism and willingness to allow me in the shop while they were working, left a lasting impression. I have only been there once, but I sure recommended at least 10 people there.

My shortblock is from there, and happy as hell with it. You wont be disappointed. Fran and crew are good people, do it right the first time from everything I seen come out of their shop.

Fran, treated me great got some great parts on the cheap awsome clean shop.

fran is the man they do VERY nice work!!!!

:shakinass i love the little brown man who makes the cars go fast!!!!

i had arh 1 7/8" headers and a tune on my 2001 ss camaro m6.
The car is slower after the "tune" then before.
I emailed them numerous times. They say the same thing every time
What was the weather.
From Feb. of this year to my last run in November, lots of different weather
only thing that is consistent is a slower car.

Im not sure what to say. Here is your before and After dyno graph. How it got "slower" is beyond me by picking up 30rwhp and 30rwtq

i emailed a number of times and asked questions.
weather was always your answer. i dropped it off one day for you to check it out. I was told everything was fine. As far as I know nothing was checked.
I asked many times for suggestions always weather was the answer.
I went from Feb. to Nov. a lot of different weather.
If I wanted to go slower I could have let off the gas and saved a lot of money.
It is not as if i went to Atco one time. I went in all different weather and times of day. I waited months before i said anything on a forum. I tried to get help from you about my slower times and trap speeds.
The bottom line is I don't even know if your Dyno chart is accurate as I have
zero faith in RPM. I went to you on the suggestion of a coworker.
I realize you have a very good reputation, i must have had work done on a bad day.

Im not going to argue with you on the forum. I replied to every email you sent. Im not sure why you are running slower. I said weather may have been a factor. We checked over the car when you dropped it off. Took it out on the street and looked everything over. Everything was fine. Feel free to dyno the car on another dyno and post the results. If i had the answer as to why your car is slower with 30more rwhp than i would have an answer for you. Im sorry you dont trust us but what exactly do you want me to do? We did a before and after dyno on your car to show the results.

Im just not sure what it is you want me to do.

Weather is always a factor, hence why they have DA correction. What is your before and after 60', ET, trap?

Could be tires, clutch, driver, any number of things on a M6 car.

One think its not... the shop that did the work.

I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a quality shop!!!

Fran rocks, and the fact that his shop is always busy should be proof enough that people trust his team's work.

This sums it up. I've known Fran for a few years. Great guy, nice shop.

Post the before and after time slips......scan them to your computer and attach them them to the forum not write what they say. Fran does top notch work and you need to back up your claim before you start calling him out on the forum.

More power means his tires are spinning more. :rotflmao:

He just isn't smart enough to figure that out. :thumb:

I'd like to see the timeslips.

Race Proven Motorsports is a top-notch shop with a HUGE following and fantastic reputation.
Fran got me into the shop with less than 24hrs notice back in May. I was very well taken care of and left with 255rwhp MORE than I arrived with.

I've got nothing but good to say about them.

Anyone having problems with them, better take a closer look in the mirror first before bashing them on the www.

I grew up with the tuner at RPM (went to Highschool with him). He's a great guy and really knows his shit!! i couldn't suggest a better shop!

Rashad (spelling?) and Race Proven Motor Sports got me 30 hp / 20 tq over another shops tune. I had to tow the car to them.
Car drives like stock now. Fran and the rest of the guys are great to deal with!

I'm still waiting for Steelman's time slips trying to prove his argument.

didnt realize rpm was only 6hrs away.... interesting. looks like i know whos going to be tuning my car once i get the FI setup

Was just there for the first time this weekend, everyone was extremley friendly and informative! Seems like a top notch place. :thumb:

Just went last week for retune after my blower install and will be going back again soon once i upgrade the fuel system. That was my 3rd time there. I will keep going back after every upgrade. They are great guys, give great advice just all around a great shop. A++++

Never heard anything bad about the shop itself. I did get a street tune from there tuner at my Apt. a few years back and the dyno tuner of my last heads cam build couldn't believe some of the setting he had or had disabled on the previous tune....people seem to be happy, guess he got better....

You did not purchase ANYTHING though Race Proven Motorsports. We went over this... This has nothing to do with Race Proven Motorsports.
