Straightline is a great shop to work with. I was just out there yesterday and they are slammed with that nice weather we had. Im sure you'll put down good numbers on spray. My numbers sucked but my car runs great at the track and with the 9in going in my numbers will suck even worse.

I like straightline because they are a very personable shop and will listen to whatever you have to say and help you with whatever you need. I have dealt with other shops in the chicagoland area and straightline tops them all.

If your buddy blew up his trans then straightline will have an opening for a tune that day so call them and see.
