Heintz Racing is the old Williams Performance. Same place and people, just a different name. Nick decided that he wanted to run his machine shop full time and concentrate on that. He is still doing our tuning though. Hope that clarifys a few things.

Thanks guys. It has been a long time coming for Travis. He has thrown everything at it in the last year to get to this point.

Awesome Awesome ride. Couple of questions, I don't know much about the GTO IRS, how much did you have to build it up? And how far can you go on the stocker?

I have an 8.8 conversion with 31 spline axles and inner stubs. The stock stuff has gone into the 9's but don't expect it to last at all at those power levels. Guys break stock stuff at alot slower times. It's kind of a crap shoot. LOL

There's nothing to it. There is a bolt in kit that let's you stick it right in place of the stocker.
