They have done all the work to my car and my fathers 10sec formula. I highly recommend them for tuning and they happen to have a brand new mustang dyno.

Well, time for a different opinion. I say a big negative for many reasons. Good luck though if you do end up going there.

maybe you could tell us what happened and not just give a negative. ive delt with jason since he was working out of another shop on the side and hes been nothing but great, since 2000 actually. the guy will bend over backwards to make sure your happy. to say he knows his f-bodys and vettes is an understatement. i wouldnt even think of going anywhere else.

he might be great to you but not great to me and others I know so we should leave it at us agree-ing to disagree about his shop but yeah I would reccomend them if to you if you were my enemy. if you are looking in to do something to talk about hit up PSI(performance specailties).

How about installing a mcleod clutch but completely destroying the slave cylinder so the clutch pedal would randomly just stick to the floor, causing me to be stranded more than twice. Or, maybe putting two large scratches in my car and saying "those were there". Or, possibly promising me he would come help me do a motor swap because I was in desperate need at the time, but not showing. Then when I questioned why he didn't even give me a call, he gave me a sob story, which was certainly legitimate, but he continued to fight the fact that he thought he was not wrong at all in not even giving me a call as I waited in a friend's garage for 5 hours waiting for him to show. Then, on top of that, his cronies get in on the action on EFA getting into a situation they never had a part in but somehow know everything about it... should I stop there?

I didn't really want to get into that, just was stating my opinion.

well, there certainly is alot of drama between groups of people over on EFA, and every shop has good and bad stories about them....but ive heard good things about FBC and PSI and if i ever need any work done in the future its going to be one of those shops. Most people around here goto Jeff Creech down at CAM....but ive heard too many stories, good and bad....but id prefer PSI or FBC over CAM

They are good at giving jeff at psi buisness after the customer goes back 4 times to get the thing fixed. jason is a nice guy but he is a salesman selling 90/90's to small cam bolton cars. if something gets messed up he will fix it but hell id rather not have my car messed up. ATV racer had his car there and they f-d up his block. then charged him regular price for a motor that was "the hook up" be ware. they have some guys working there that shouldn't work at jiffy lube let alone someone who likes there car.

Not true or at least in my case, I asked him after my small cam install whether I should get a 90/90 or LS6 & ported TB. He told me not to get the 90/90 because for the price difference it wasn't worth it and that I wouldn't need it until I did heads or an engine swap. I chose to go against what J said and I got the 90/90 anyways. I know it will barely out perform the LS6 on my setup but I can’t see spending 400 for an LS6 and 100 for a ported TB and then spend 1200 later on for a 90/90. I’d rather spend 1200 then 1700.

Well, there's really nothing to argue. The many people who dislike FBC for whatever (many) reasons have experienced first hand what goes on at that shop. I personally could care less if someone would rather go there over PSI and try their luck, have at it, you might be lucky. I can only suggest taking a trip to PSI, looking in the shop at all of the cars that pack the place like sardines, and asking Jeff how many came from FBC F-up's.

Even though I'm new to f-bodies I've been hanging around Jeff's shop PSI and I think from everything bad I hear from FBC I'd go with jeff. I've heard too amny horror stories about FBC, but everyone that goes to jeff is happy with the work he does and I haven't heard any complaints about his work.

PSI is a good shop and Jeff is a great guy. As nice as it gets. They have great prices and do fast, great work. I had my clutch installed in a day and a half at an unbeatable price. I am very satisfied with him and his shop! Now just answer the phone JEFF!!
