SRP got the BIRD done!!! Ok guys. You maybe have seen some of my posts on here about my Fiance's (Jenny) 98 formula. It had a lifter come apart (ball broke in half), and pretty much trashed the engine. We went through hell with getting our pockets picked by a local LT1Dickhead over a period of several months before just letting the car sit while we searched for an Honest and Local PROFESSIONAL to do the job right. This is where we must say THANK YOU TO THIS SITE. Here we got a recommendation to take the car to Tracey and Tyler at SRP (Scott Racing and Performance) in Cincinnati. What a blessing. Over the last few weeks they have completely redone the engine incuding replacing the block, crank, cam (226/226), oil pump, 160 stat, MAF less tune, 918s, porting the TB, all machine work, internals, and heads inspected and slightly milled, tune, exhaust work, belt, and free mods.. and all for just 3200.00!!!
Tyler called today and said the car was done so I stopped by to check it out. First off.... This car is amazingly clean!!! They had it detailed at their expense. It sounds BAD *** and runs super smooth for the cam that's in it. They want me to drive it easy for a while and then I can't romp on it. I can't wait! Will post new pics soon as I can get them the balance on their work. I wish I could afford to pay them double because they are F'in AWESOME!!
Thank you LS1TECH, SRP, and whoever the angel was that referred them because this bird has been Reborn and is now ready to FLY.

That angel would be me lol, i was there weekend before last and saw tyler hookin up the engine and all that on your bird, didnt get to see the engine from before but tyler told me about it and how F#$%d up it was. they are a good bunch of guys and will do anything to help, like my oil pan was leaking and tyler took it upon himself to fix it at no charge to me. Tyler and Tracey at SRP are great guys and do amazing work on our cars. Glad you got your car all fixed and ready to go Prokill98.

I stopped by SRP again today and couldn't help but notice that they even straightened out my antenna which somehow got a real sharp bend in the top section while the car was in detention at LT1Dick's. Just one more thing they didn't have to do but did. It's the little things in life that count, ain't it. SRP RULES!!
