Default My experience with Patrick G

If your in the market for a new cam, let Patrick spec you cam that suits your needs and goals. I have been running off the shelf or shop recommend blower cams for a while and while they all made good power, the driveability sucked. I just took as if I wanted big power there would have to be a compromise. Man was I wrong. I had pat spec me a cam for my setup and he knocked it out of the park. I could not be happier with how well he has got my car running. 1000+ rwhp and I can idle down the street in any gear without any bucking or surging. It almost drives like stock until you get in the gas. After 4 years I actually enjoy just cruising around in my car and it makes almost 50 more hp throughout the rpm range.

On top of his cam recommendations and awesome tuning skills, his customer is the best I've seen. While I was on my way to his shop to get tuned I had a blowout on my trailer. Patrick and Kurt (98aggie) waited for almost 3 hours for me to get there and still took their time to get everything done right. I can't thank them enough for everything these two guys have done to help me get my car done right.

So if you need a cam or just want your car tuned right get with Pat G and I can assure you it he can get you fixed up.

I work with Pat often on builds and I will say that with Pat and Greg Good you cant go wrong. These guys know how to make big power with reliability...

Kurt is always a pleasure to be around, he is full of knowledge and always very helpful.

Pat tuned my 383 in my 2002 SS. I drove all the way from Dallas for the tune, and it was worth every bit of the drive. A+ work, very professional, and is willing to work with you if you have to make schedule changes. You can't go wrong here. He will be specing the cam in my C5 Z06 when the time comes.

Another happy Pat G customer here. Cant can't say enough about the customer service and quality of work. Pat didnt spec my cam but he did do the tuning. It started as a remote tune and then followed up with a dyno tune. Well worth the 2 hour drive to Victoria.
