Well I guess this would be a good time to let you know I PM-ed you last week, and I haven't got a reply.

I also PM'd you around 2 weeks ago and only got the reply like 2-3 days ago! I figured you were busy (which would be a good thing) and couldn't get back to me. Not a problem though.

Ellis specializes in F-bodies. Make sure (if you take it to this other place) that they have worked on LS1 F-bodies before. AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT YOUR CAR ISN'T THERE FIRST!! I learned the hard way (the expensive way) that you want a good mechanic to do the job right. And $15 bucks more is well worth Ellis' work. From experience.............I had to have Ellis fix EVERYTHING that I had just done to my car from some other shop. And I didn't get a dime back! Ellis works on all of our cars and is an excelent mechanic. He really pays attention to details which is paramount! Ellis has done it all to our cars and knows who to talk to, to get it done right the first time! I'm not trying to make you go to him, just making sure you don't travel the same road as I did. My road cost me $13,000.00 And Ellis was the one who figured everything out and fixed it...............A VERY DIFICULT TASK!!

Don't let your dad tell you who to take it to because he thinks he's helping you. Do your research and make sure your getting this done correctly! It is very important! I want you to enjoy your car, unlike me.

I am sure they will take care of you It is just as important to keep your dad happy and keep that relationship in good repair My dad and I never had that til just recently. Keep it up as long as you can

I have NO problems with that at all

FoxySS I show I sent you a reply on your super charged truck?

For some reason I had some mails I sent not get to where they were going and others never come in. Always when the Board is slow so I am not sure what is up. This is why I prefer E-mail or phones

00Vette is absolutely right.

I'm on my 4th gear set.
I'm on my 3rd. catback
I've had my T/A lowered twice
I've have a HPP3 and a Predator
I've had a prothane tranny mount..don't get one
I used to change my oil every 2000mi. (synthetic )
My T/A was not driveable for two months during the summer and I have a vert Waiting to get it in the shop to fix their fuckup.
Went to pick up my T/A from a shop and it was on a test run being driven by a 19 yr old welder who worked there.
I have a nitrous kit with the bottle mounted upside down so you can't read the gauge and a very stickey throttle.

I have thrown away at least $4000. in parts and labor because I've listened to local performance shops advise.

I too, need to get my T/A in to Speed Secrets. I'm afraid to take it anywhere else.

The T/A has been setting in our garage since last August, I've dropped the insurance and it's not even licensed. I'm at wits end. I'm afraid it's going to cost an arm and a leg to get it back on the road.
