No company makes 100% of their customers happy 100% of the time. It's a fact of life when running a business. Now if it was another site sponsor voting no, that would be a really dickless thing to do. Kind of like sending PMs to potential customers and talking a bunch of **** about other shops. It's been going on a lot in the Philadelphia area lately.

Anyone ever have an engine built or installed by them? I am thinking of using them for that. I'm looking for a Professional, competent shop, not a bunch of kids hanging out type of place.

I have not had any work done to my car by them. I do everything I can myself. When I first got the call I called them up about tuning. I really can't remember who I talked to though. The guy talk me a lot of things about the LS1 and the computer b/s that goes with it. The price for a tune with dyno seemed low to me b/c of time spent. Let me know how you work out.

I've had motor work done there on three different cars, and a motor swap done there too. No complaints. I don't think they currently build complete motors or short blocks.

lol, and I'm still waiting for that new 4th car to get a little dirty too.

We do build motors top to bottom for those interested. Most people think we're only about nitrous, but we really do it all.

just for what its worth, my shop isnt really a shop its my garage, but its also a bunch of older kids hanging out, and ive put together some pretty fast cars.
not saying anything bad about the shop, just saying you shouldnt look at a name to build you somthing, but at what that person/shop has done to prove themself. weather its kids hanging out or the best sho in the world, a fast car is a fast car. ive seen shops all over the place that have not put out a car faster some of the cars ive done.

again not a hijack, just a little feed back from my experiance over the years


ps, we hang around and we drink beers.

I'm sure they do great work and nothing against them but I would not feel comfortable leaving my car at a shop with a bunch of guys hanging around drinking. I would want a more professional environment. I am sure they know their stuff and I'm no prude when it comes to drinking, just IMO.

Hooked may be a stretch. im motivated to get the car to handle correctly and attend a few events when other guys i know go. A vette or viper would be a better choice if I were really serious about it. I still kept the stock springs and rear sway bar comes off easy then bolt the bigs and littlles and juice and attack 1/4s.

Next event is 8/5 in nj
https://www.pdadrivingschool.com/registration.php

remind the guys that i have the Mets/Phils tickets for late august. I will dif them out and send some to you.
