Default A big THANKS to Straight Line!!!

I would like to take this time to thank both Mikes, Nick and the hippie (sorry I forgot his name) you guys did a hell of a job today on my car and I am a very happy customer right now!
Not only were you guys very open and answered every question I had, but your demeanor was very professional and you guys seem to click together, you guys are young and hungry to succeed. With all those things combined you guys will succeed! Hell I think you guys have already! Don't think I have ever heard of a friendly Speed shop but you guys, so don't change!! Mike thanks for the badazz tune.

Mike got me a WCF 393hp @ 6087
and 370ft @4110

Thankyou

LOL, the Hippie, we haven't stopped laughing yet. I'm definitely interested in the track times on that set up. The final numbers more than impressed me, and thanks for all the kind words.

Hell yea. When I go heads and cam, I'm going straight to StraightLine! When I spun a bearing Mike was a great guy to talk to. He even gave me his cell phone number to better reach him. Sorry guys, but screw SpeedInc. I talked with them and they were cocky and didn't seem to care about my setup. Only interested if you go 408 CI with twin turbos maybe.

My friend's friend had a red Z06 put together about 2 weeks ago at StraightLine and dyno'd 440/390 I think.

All shops have their good and bad. I have dealt with them all and they are all good guys. Nick and the Mikes have always done me right at Straightline and Tom & Larry at Speed Inc have always done me right as well.
