A little bigger? Patrick and Kurt have worked on all sorts of cars from all over the state. Their reputation is top notch. I know several guys in the Houston area, I'm talking highly respected racers (not a guy in a daily driver like myself) who take their cars all the way to Victoria to have those guys work on them.

If a G8 GXP with a race weight of 4300 pounds, with RWHP of 408 turning a PB of 11.91 @ 114.51, stock cam and just bolt ons is impressive, it's because of Kurt's and Patrick's magic.

A lot of people on the G8 boards from all over the country would give anything for Patrick and Kurt to work on their cars.

It wouldn't really matter, but those guys are right in your own back yard.

If you must leave town, then I would suggest G Force in Pearland or LMR in northwest Houston.

Since you're already in Victoria anyways I would take it to Kurt, he's top notch.

Another vote for going to Kurt since your right there. Have you been by and talked to him and checked out his place? Kurt and Patrick G are both great guys and Kurt has a very nice shop. I rented Kurt's dyno and have nothing but the best to say about his customer service and help. I have never heard or even read a bad thing sad about Kurt or Patrick, that should say something about there work!
