Default Race Proven Motorsports Feedback Please

Im looking to get some work done on my 98 SS and was wondering if some people could give me some feedback on their work at RPM. Looking to do a t56 swap and its hard to find a reputable fbody/LSX shop to do work. Please help me out here. thanks a lot in advance. BTW i tried to search for threads like this but the SEARCH button doesn't work and hasn't all day.

I had my headers installed at RPM and have gotten tuned twice there. They're great guys and do great work, I wouldn't hesitate to take my car back to them.

In fact, I will be taking my car back to them sooner or later. For a nice blower cam maybe. I don't know, what do you think Fran? Time for more power?

Who better to talk to than me. I had the same swap done by Fran and the car is still doing beautiful. Fran is an amazing person to do business with. He will work with you every step of the way. Two thumbs up and whatever else I can get up for Fran

Haven't gotten any work done by him myself (as I don't have an f-body yet...) but I will absolutely be talking to him for some work in the near future. Fran is a local guy and always comes out to the meets around here, and his shop is about two miles from my house. I know a very good amount of people, including some of my closest friends that have gotten large amounts of work done by Fran and his employees, and they all have nothing but great things to say.

It's a great shop to deal with, and I'm sure you will be happy with your decision if you choose to take your car to them.

AAA+++.....Fran and the other employees are great people.
I had a street tune done and ARH installed.

You can't go wrong with RPM.

Also i have a Vortech Supercharger just sitting at home (need to save some money) then the car will be on its way over to RPM for the install along with a blower cam at the sametime.

I haven't heard anything bad about Fran as a person or RPM as a business yet.

+1 for Fran. He has helped me out on a few occasions.

You have a PM. I could drop it off at his shop.

I thought about getting work done there but when I met I think the name is "FRAN" I was expecting a girl. Well it was guy. Given he was pretty cool he did touch me in a slightly inapproprate way and my car. However the car liked it so I'd recommend him.

Honestly he's a nice guy, offered to log my car and it wasnt even worked on at his shop. I see him at the track frequently with his customers cars and sure its probably cause he doesnt have a life or real friends but thats what some people should be looking for in a shop
