Don't know if this was mentioned or not, but those familiar with the guys over at RevXtreme might be interested to know they got a mention in the latest issue of GMHTP. Good work guys.

RevXtreme does excellent work. If you are local it would be good to take your car there.

Yes they just put down 551rwph on a bolt on/procharged 04 GTO yesterday. They do awsome work.

Dino is a little slow sometimes. For me atleast. Oh well, I can't say that they have done anything bad. It's just it took awhile. I don't know if that is ther fault or not. I must have just had a less than optimal experience as everyone else that has ever used them has nothing but constant praise.

Oh wait, thats my car! I had a great experience with them. Yes it took longer than expected, but nothing that was Dino or the shops fault. Stupid distributors sending wrong parts... Once they had everything my car was togehter and running within 3days of install. clutch/flywheel/tune/procharger/cam/headers. I would say that is pretty impressive!

I have found there is nothing fast about modding except the results! There always is a dilema on parts not being available, getting the right one or it craping out even so they are bran new. I know it drives Dino crazy like it does us, LOL. I have also had great exp with RX.

car parts == wait there is no way to get around it, fact of life. This is true for all car shops especially when you are talking new motors and anything custom.

I just know there are a few things that make me go WTF. The other day I was talking with him through Instant Message about the rear. He said I'm calling right now he's been running around the office or something. Anyhow it was over an hour later before he even said anything else. I know he's running a shop and all, I just guess I don't understand the time it takes to do what he does. I have had no other experience with shops really besides buying stuff. Well actually norris motorsports, which was twice as bad. He said he'd call back with a quote. It was like two days later he called and I was like I thought you had forgotten.

I help him in my spare time just answering phones and it is VERY hectic. We will have all 4 lines blown up as well as his cell. Emails are prob around 100 a day. I waited 5 weeks (before RX opened) for heads & cam install. Now that is WTF because I supplied the parts!

around christmas time i walked in and asked to have the formula dyno's. they said sure and put it right on then i made an appt to have them check my header hitting the kmember and to change the rear diff fluid. and when i came to pick the car up after that was done, they let my mom see the blown clack c5 that was there (i told her about it) they started it up and explained the 'whistle' and why it had such big tires to her

I have to wait on suppliers to get back to me. In the meantime, I'm running like mad to do the work of at least 3 other people, answering phones, answering emails, answering IM's, answering PM's, ordering parts, paying bills, picking up parts, test driving cars, dealing with people who walk in, and trying to stay on top of GP's on the boards... I said that I'd sell you the rearend, and you wanted me to make sure you got it by this weekend. Well, it is looking like I'm going to have to rent a truck to make sure you get it on time. How many other shops will rent a uhaul and bring you the parts themselves, on their time?

Haha. I'm sorry about it Dino, I just get impatient when my car is down and have to have everyone drive me places and stuff. It's hard for me to imagine the amount of work other people have to do and stuff. I should've known that when I came to pick up my car. I'll need to try and put some more thought into stuff I suppose. Thanks for the rear by the way.
