Default VA Speed of VA Beach

Well I just wanted to praise them to let you guys know that they are wonderful... they coached me on my application made suggestions and took care of me the whole time... they even offered to give me a ride home if I couldnt find someone to follow me *2hours away* they did pretty much all of the mods in my sig engine wise... and shawn even came up to the shop at 10pm at night for me to pick it up... their shop is very very nice... seemed like all really nice guys... now shawn... hook me up with a LS6 intake and Spec clutch install and tune price

Thumbs up

Hey Man,

I saw you as you were heading up to Va Speed the other week. I was leaving the base headed home. I posted up in the Hampton Roads forum. You have personalized plates? Tuff....

I was in the wifes truck at the time.

Nice car, BTW. I definately liked the stance.

I was leaving the Navy base. I had just merged from 564 to 64. I saw you from about a 1/4 mile back. The SS hoods really stand out.....that and the fact that your car looked lowered. That was what caught my eye. I was behind you for a bit until you got off on the 284a exit.

I was in my wifes silver Tacoma...much better on gas than the Z to and from Elizabeth City, NC.

390rwhp out of cam only is very stout.... Especially with the LS1 intake on there.

Good luck on breaking the 400rwhp mark with the ls6 intake....
