I can understand money being tight but do not just go cheap. It will come back to bite you. I know 3 times over.

Find a good shop with a good rep. and warranty.

I'd go to EFI alchemy and ask them who you could go to or if they could fix you up?

Not to but, are you the guy i raced on Branan field one night from a 60 roll? I was in a blue RSX... we did a quick pull.. from like 60 to 120mph... it was this past winter... late at night. The car looked just like yours, and the guy (pretty cool) said he had the same mods you have listed on your sig.


I'm looking for a c5 z06 myself , as a DD

and im not saying names, but they blew up someones engine after doing 8 dyno pulls, one after another. another one was something to do with a transmission or driveshaft but i dont remember the whole story and ive heard there are good days and bad days there. ive never dealt with them so i dont know but the install prices are alittle outrageous if you ask me

I was at Phillips & Sunbeam getting a drink at a gas station and right next door was Bill's Transmission and Gears. I don't have the first clue about this place, but they had a Fox body in there with a drag chute on the *** end so the car had to be sick. Putting 2&2 together, I would assume that the shop might know their ****.

we went there first thing, the did my dads rear end and transmission in his old 96 silverado. they know what they are doing but like alex said, they wanted 425 just for labor fees plus parts. his cousin works at a transmission shop but he is on vacation for the next 2 weeks
