Do you have a pushrod length checker? What cam and lifter setup are you running?

If you're going out to the East side go to Loud Pedal. They make real power and have great rates. Jason there will tell you how it is and won't blow smoke up your ***.

Check the link in my sig.

I can personally say TOP GEAR is the ONLY SHOP that i trust on my car.... the owner has worked on my car a few times and his rates are great and if something goes bad he will look at it free of charge... ive never heard of LOUD PEDAL so i cant say anything about them....not to mention Sean works very fast and will have your car done sometimes same day no matter what your doing to it !

Not to discredit Top Gear, but they don't have any LSX cars that can hang with my car. The guy doing the tuning for LPM runs bottom 9s on medium boost in his LSX car.

If you want to setup some runs I'm happy to roll out. Anything you got LS powered that can hang with me for a 40 roll? I didn't think so.

I'll do it on 91 all day too.

If you're in Az you must have heard of Jason or myslef. NicD does the tuning for us as well. Any of us ring a bell?

Not to burst your bubble or anything. But it sounds like most of us on here dont have the bank roll you do. Most of the people that go to Topgear are hard working people that want to have some fun with there cars and have a budget they need to stay in. Sean treats his customers fair and with honesty. While I know for a fact that Sean has worked on some higher end cars and CAN build a 9 SEC car if someone wanted him to. I know if I had that kind of money and wanted a 9 SEC car I would go to Sean before anybody else in this town just on his past work and reputation alone.

Sorry MR. Drewstein I am not in your league. I am more than happy for my quest for 11.5 SEC on NA. That is as fast as I wish to go with the budget I have. Good luck to you sir.

The more I think about it I have heard of Jason. The company name did not ring a bell with me. Sorry about that. I purchased a set of used push rods from him for my cam work Sean did for me. I also have heard great things about NicD also. I have never heard of you tho. Maybe some day we will meet at firebird and I can watch your tail lights.
