HSW is great, I they shipped my kit out and I got it the next day. I had to wait because the kits were on back-order for like 3 days, but they have great customer service and adhere to their word! Great kits.


I will be suggesting them to anyone who needs nitrous.

That would be too obvious no? I'd love to see a HSW sponsored T/A at the track.

Well if any of you guys are heading to the shop make sure to see the car! The Trans Am that replaced the NBM Camaro It has a horrible sounding rear that will prob need all types of bearings

Harris seems like a very professional shop. The first think I look for is cleanliness. That tells me if a shop might pay attention to the little details to the cars they work on or if they get lazy. If I was a shop manager, it would look like Harris's. They'll have my car next weekend.

Going down there next week to dyno my pig. Its putting down some really dismal numbers so I want the guys to have a look and see if I'm getting lowballed by a shop that does not support a DIYer or if she is really just sick. I really hope the car just doesn't make power, I'd hate to think that a shop would deflate numbers just because they didn't build it. I'm hoping all the good stuff y'all say about Harris is true and they shoot me straight, and, if its broke help me fix it.

Sorry, I got deployed and checking internet is pretty poor in a 3rd world country. They are telling me 468/444 thru 4.10s. I've been in a few cars and this feels like it pulls harder than that. Maybe it just has a really good tq curve and it comes on early, didn't see. But a 403 w/ ET heads and a nice cam should make more. When I get back I hope they get me right.
