Fastech or MMT would be my vote for number one..

Then Super Shops comes in a close number two.

Billy over at TRT in Arlington is really good. He does just about everything and will never let you down. I heard they had a bad-*** tuner there now too!

My tranny barks 3rd and 4th gear with his new tune up they did last weekend. We made it to the finals in the OKC street race and lost line pressure though on the kinuter valve to the pump..

No we didnt race him...We got a quick flagger on our race with a Nova and lost the race by a bumper..We left on 2 lbs instead of 10.. We were basically tuning on the street with the Turbo Stang and got a quick flag. After they saw the first race and it was no longer laying 600 ft of rubber they knew they were in some ****. OK boys that is. So we got a quick flag. Very next round we took that same dude out with the Z car. It ended up being an all Tx final. The fuzz came and both TX boys split the pot. It would have been a good race between either one of the finalists. We had the wick turned up and ready to rock since the car is hooking now. Oh well. We will be in Houston in January with the Stang.

Chris White's 240Z Nitrous fed

That was the finals. Boosted GT was knocked out with a quik flag in the semis. He made the 2 cars up but needed 2 more feet to nose them out. we lost by a bumper with that flag. Chicago boys were sent packing early on with the White TA nad the Tellow Mod Motor stang.
