3 years too late!!

I went their to dyno my LT1 and they put one of my plug wires against the header and burnt thru the wire while on the dyno. I didnt get to trouble shoot it until I got home, but they said it was my ignition coil and they could replace it for me My car is actually on their customer's page (the sexy white Z).

They do that with alot of cars that stop by.If you dyno'd they act like they built the car for you Notice that Vette there?That car is the reason I posted this.It was screwed up

With RealQuick's story it seems like it takes them just as much effort to do both jobs.
