Not always, Buddy of mine had his car in 3 days after he asked Daniel to work on it.

Another vote for SQR here, Great people who do awsome work.

SQR, TRT, RPM........ that is about the best ones to go to. HPP for Ford stuff (since the still havent convinced me they can do GM work lol )

For me it is SQR or TRT

http://www.simplequickracing.com/ Daniel is a very honest nice fellas

http://www.trtturbo.com/ very trust worthy and charges as little as he possibly can. Keeps overhead low. If I where going out of town.... he is the one who I would give my keys to!

I never actually had SQR do any work for me, but they went out of their way to dyno my car one evening. They get my vote just for going out of their way to make a couple of dollars that may have not been worth the effort or trouble to some.

Dont forget LG out in wylie. They will cost you alittle more, but you get techs with top notch experience and a professional shop. Not just a bunch of hack kids that like shiney wrenches. Several of my friends have spoken highly of SQR as well.

RMP is located in Lewisville off of Business 121/35

they have a DynoJet.

I like RPM, but I am biased.

here are most of the speedshops in DFW that can work on an Fbody/Ybody

In no order.

RPM
SQR
TRT
Speedtek
LGMotorsports
21st Century Muscle Cars
HPP (90% Mustangs/Mod Motors, but do also work on Fbodys)

that reminds me...... hack kids with wrenches...

USA Motorsports in Pantego, SpeedFreaks, Dallas Mustang, etc etc ..... hmmm.......................................

If you have a stang, I suggest HPP or Gearheads based on my friends input.
If you have Supra, I suggest JP Importz in Garland
If you have a Viper, Muscle Head
If you have a Vette, 21st Century, LG, SQR, to name a few
If you have an F-body, LG, TRT, SQR, RPM etc.
If you have a Truck, TRT seems to be knocken em out.
And if you need TD's on an F-body, V6Bird ftw!

I tend to think that everyshop has its place, except for those "hacks".

Real Performance Motorsports is in Lewisville.

SQR has a DynoJet. Most have DynoJets... not many Mustang Dynos around DFW.
