Default Thanks TRT!!!

I wanted to take a second to publicly thank Billy and the crew at TRT for getting my car back in working order for me.

My car had sat and collected dust since October of 05' thanks to me getting screwed really good by former local shop. Also, thanks to my girl for saving money behind my back to get my baby going again.

Billy and his crew were very responsive and very helpfully through out the whole process and went above and beyond to help me.

I was hoping for a bit more power out of my set-up, but after not having the damn thing for so long I was still very happy.

Great job TRT! You have a customer for life.

Yeah, I supposed that would be helpful.

347 from LME
Patriot Stage 3 Heads
228/228, .588 .112 Texas Speed Cam
LT's with true duals
LS7 Clutch
and the basic other bolt-on's

It did 405hp/360tq, I dont recall the exact tq numbers.

My tags and inspection was well out and he did say I could bring it back once I got tags to play with the tune a bit.

Those are good numbers man and I'm glad you're happy with it. I'm sure your 400rwhp could whoop up on mine, probably 2-3 car lengths in the 1/8...according to V6 Bird that is.

Lol, apparently you haven't been around him long enough. The only way to shut him up is to drag his ***.

It really doesn't bother me that much, but being a man and all, I do like to point out what an *** he is being.

The thing is, I DO NOT CARE WHOSE CAR IS FASTER!! The only reason I started a thread a couple of weeks ago was to say that I finished my car up and I'm happy with the results.

I'll bet him $100 to race at the track if he'll bet me $200 to race on the street...40mph roll. Your car vs mine strait up...NO NITRIOUS!

I doubt he'll take that bet b/c he'd lose no ifs ands or buts! Although, I'd hate to take his money seeing as how I'm his father and everything...

he sure can be an *** sometimes but you really have to meet him in order to understand. itz hez personality. LOL trust me.

im sure you are very happy with the result and STS setup can be fast on street but @ the track it doenst run the right time due to turbo lag. he just hates STS thatz all. i believe he called you to prove that STS isnt built for track. im sure you will drag me on streets esp from a roll; since you have 60 or more rwhp then im.

pm me if you wanna race me on street. im in game. letz do roll and dig.

I'm actually considering going to Kennedale on Sunday. I'm curious now. To be honest, there is no turbo lag at all going from a dig...seriously! They tuned my timing curve to get me up into boost ASAP. I stomp on it from a dig...I'm in boost immeadiately...then I shift and it just gets faster and faster.

I'll be in Ft Worth playing basketball until about 3:15ish. I'm considering running over to Kennedale for some T & T around 5pm. I'll have to chat with the wife first, but it's definetely a possiblity.

Why not make it 200 at the track and 200 on the street from a 20 roll? Gives you a chance to win your money back at least. Ill take that bet i just prescribed. Reality checks are a mother ******.
