Default Speed Inc??

I know these guys are sponsors here but wanted to know how good of work they do.

Looking to buy a car that has had a bunch of work done to it by them. Just want to make sure the blower install and Tune are top notch..

Thanks

haven't gotten work done there in awhile, but I do plan to go to the open house to checkout the deals.

For the work I did get done, I cannot complain. Both times I've had work done, there were little issues that came along the way, but Speed Inc. went out of their way to address those problems and fix it. Larry was the shop manager at the time, and he kept me informed on the situation via email and phone.

Not every shop will treat you like that, and if you need advice, they are willing to offer that as well.

So Good luck on your ride, it will be worked on by the finest.

Oh yea! Need to clean it up a little, I went to the track last night and it's dirty! But it did go 5.19 @ 142 (1/8) right off the trailer since last year Sept 2010. Threw the radial on for a little testing and didn't expect that. lol

I'll be there thanking Jim for the tune!

Been dealing with Tom(owner) of Speed Inc before shop was even open. Only people who have ever touched my car and it will remain that way. You name it, my car has had it put on by them. Proud member of a 820rwhp twin Turbo SS =)
