Default Huge Thanks To G-Force, HKE Erik K, and Greg Good!!!

Well it has been a little bit over a year and 20,000 miles since my stroker motor was completed last October. My car has not had one single issue in that time the only thing I have had to do is change the oil, and put gas in it. My car has been to the track many times, and raced in general a lot without a hiccup. This just goes to demonstrate how if you have a great shop in combination with other great shops and people work together and do a project right the first time a modified car will run and behave like it did stock. Every time the car has been strapped down to the rollers it has made very consistent power, and has picked up power throughout the break-in.

So, thanks again, and all this means is that it is time to start a new project. I have been talking to Mike at G-Force, and think the next logical step is the addition of an APS turbo kit. My motor is 11 to 1 so, I will either have to run low boost or pull the motor and have it setup for boost. Either way I looking forward to this new project with the same great people. I'll keep everyone posted and let you know when we are getting started. After that though I will be retiring the O'l SS to weekend only duty.

Final note if you are in the Houston area or not these are great people and their work is top notch, and I would recommend them to anyone no matter how large or small your project. G-Force 281.993.5451.

I was behind you in Friendswood this past weekend. Saw your numbers(fromt the track) but never saw you post any times, but now I know! Runs good and sounds good! G-Force is a great place to go!

Yeah the O'l spec III has 50,000 miles on it and is still holding like a champ. G-Force put that clutch in when my car went from being stock to H/C full bolt-ons, and 12 bolt. I have been really really pleased and shocked with how it has held together. Lol I think I'm probably one of the few that actually broke it in properly (the way G-Force told me to). I have tried to finish it off several and I'll try again Friday at HRP in attempt to get a 10s slip.

Yeah we have just over 520 passes on our HKE/Greg good 408 iron block and it's still pounding the 1320.

They are almost finished with our new project that should be on the Nasty side

I agree. No problems at all with Mike's tune out here on the island of Guam. Now if I can only get some traction on the coral drag strip out here.
