Default TRT is gone...now what?
It's been awhile since I've been on the forums and TRT did some work on my car awhile back and I'd like to pick up where they left off. Can anyone recommend a performance shop in the DFW area that does a good job at a resonable price (something I admired in Billy at TRT).

Essentially, heads or cam work plus exhaust, etc... If my wife asks, just say that my roller cam wore out and I need a new one with higher lift and longer duration so it lasts longer .

Are you that Red ss with a huge FMIC that i kept seeing around Lewisville?

My suggestion would be to take it to SQR.

it does have a large intercooler but I haven't driven around Lewisville in quite some time...I moved to the Trophy Club/Roanoke area a while back. What is SQR? I'm open to suggestions.

I drive it sometimes on the weekends if there is nice weather. It's 10 years old and I have like 41k miles on it.

I know a guy in Grand Prairie that is a big fan of rear mounts. I need to ask him if he wants to mess with it. LOL

Man that guy LOVES those things. especially when they haul nuts from about 200 ft on, on a sticky surface...WOOT WOOT.

Anyone notice that with the LMR car they worked on. I kinda felt bad for them putting their name with that car but then again what can you do at the same time.

Ah...who am I kidding. Rear-mounts are for tools. Nuff said. Drive it off a cliff.

Well, it has nothing to do with a rear mount, this is engine work.

The real question for you..Is how much money do you want to spend on heads/cam?

Best thing they ever did at TRT was close the doors. Dustin can't tune his way out of a wet paper sack.

Seems like RPM and SQR are getting tired of fixing Dustin's fuckups...

RPM took my car and re-did the entire thing. Looks and runs 12398759837 times better.
.

Lay off the RPM fanboy ****.
