Full Throttle Racing is owned by a former employee of ARE.

ARE is now Autoworx and is in the Carlingview and 401 area.

I personally have seen some happy customers leaving FTR with cars done well and on time, me included. To me that speaks volumes.

Fern and Wade sure did a good job hacking up my car in the two years it was in Toronto.I have about 100 pictures of their handy work from their ARE days.It gives the term "hillbilly engineering" new meaning.

You Canadians should head over to Detroit to a real shop called Wheel to Wheel Powertrain.They have show car quality workmanship and you're money won't disappear.

I Wade owns this shop I will do EVERYTHING in my power to see they NEVER are a sponsor on LS1TECH.I don't see it being a difficult task given his history with some of the decision makers on the board.

FTR is mostly LSX-based, as has been mentioned, but they also work on Mustangs and old muscle.

I've been a satisfied customer of the guys at FTR for years. Their cars are quick and reliable.
