Can someone tell me what happened to Mikey at Rapid Motorsports? I want to get a hold of him but the sites down and the email I have is no good

Sure sounds like he's no longer in business.

Sure does. I'm pretty local to him and I didn't hear a word.

Well I heard he's coming back this month.

I REALLY hope hes coming back...when you find a guy you TRUST it's very hard to take it anywhere else. I have some basic skills, but I am not comfortable doing engine stuff on my own. I trailered my SS from just outside Cleveland Ohio to him 14yrs ago...and NO ONE has touched the car since him!

Wow practically went through all of PA. He's definitely worth it though. I liked that it's just him that does the work as to a shop with 5 techs doing whatever. I'm only about another year away from "finishing up" with my car and the only thing I can't get anywhere else is his dominator 2 cam. Would suck to have to settle for something else.

Doesn't he tune at County Corvettes in West Chester?

I know that he was and 3 other shops too. Nice set up you have there^

Thanks - Mikey did all of it.

I tried calling his shop number and it's disconnected. I have emailed multiple times, nothing. Does anyone have real contact info for Mikey or live by him? I am wondering if he's just done and out of the business altogether. He did my SS and I have 420RWHP, with 241 ported/polished heads from Agostino Racing and Mikeys cam..this was all the way back from 2002, through a Moser 12 bolt with 4.10 gears and 315s on chrome AFS ZR1 rims, all stock weight vehicle.

I really want to update the setup as technology has come a long way, cars are getting probably 50-80rwhp more now. I have ORIGINAL GROTTYOHANN HEADERS and a factory SLP Dual Dual, LS6 intake and RAM 6130 VDS clutch. I think todays heads and cam profiles and FAST 92/102 intakes would make a HUGE difference. I am really thinking about getting a 2016 SS, but maybe just replacing my setup would suffice.

Maybe a new H/C/I, since my car and bottom end have only 30,000 miles...I bought it brand new April 4, 1999. I really want Mike to work on it though..no one has touched it since he's built her.

Where is this guy located? Depending on where he is located, I could physically drive by and see if his shop is still open. I need a new corvette specialist since I DID NOT have a good experience at county corvette in west chester. I heard Tony's Corvette shop does great work in Maryland but his lead times are always horrendous since he's in such demand.

Pm'd you. Don't get a 16 ss just make yours faster than them.

I had a cam install done by him along with a tune, I always had cold start/warm start and other idle issues. I was Lee's than impressed myself. I went to college with Andrew at Complete Street Performance and he knows his stuff. He is the only one that I trust now. He fixed all of the issues and found an extra 40rwhp from the previous tune from rapid. My car was small stuff at 393hp as the day I was there he stayed til 5am to fix and finish up a 914rwhp c5 6spd. That says a lot if you ask me, he makes sure it's right. He is based out of West chester. You should definitely check him out, you will be glad you did. He is currently moving into a new shop and has grown, to me that says he must be doing it right if you have a growing speed shop business. Anyways that's just my opinion.

I've emailed back and forth with CSP about a month ago and I think that's where I'm going.
