Default My car is finally getting blown!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, after years and years of wanting a D-1 I finally took the plung...I recently shipped my car to EPP where Bob and his crew will be installing a d-1 procharger, Gt2-3 cam, 9 inch rear w/373 and a Textralia clutch with a new master and slave cylinder oh yea and a few gauges. The car got to his shop on June 17 and will hopefully be finished on June 23. The wait is killing me, but just knowing that it's at the best place I could have sent it too keeps me together. The streets in El Paso, Tx will never be the same ha-ha .. P.S. I hope Bob puts my car in his web page ha-ha...

Big Bad ss, the transport company was a local one and by the looks of it was decent except for a misunderstanding with EPP. I actually learned about them through a transport service/broker who advised me they were intrested in transported my car. Bankz27, yea I also heard great stuff about Bob and his crew at EPP that's why I spent the extra money transporting my car from El Paso, Tx to Indiana. I'm sure the final result will be nothing but the best and will post in the coming weeks CHRISPY....

Does anyone know what mph I'll be trapping with my setup??? I don't want to call Bob and bother him anymore. I think I've called him everyday since my car shipped out to his shop.
