Default Big Thanks to Rob and the crew @ Strickly Performance

I just wanted to say that Strickly takes damn good care of its customers. After hanging around the shop for a while, Rob showed up and took care of myidle and drivability problems immediately and threw in a tune to boot! Car feels alot stronger and didn't havea single buck or surge the entire time in the bumper to bumper 1 1/2 hour drive down the 405s.

On a side note they have some f*cking monsters coming out of that shop soon, can't wait to see the silver Z28 runnning

I ran 8.3-8.4 consistant @86-87 with bolt ons and a busted trans mount. Trans mount really hurt my 60". I should be 7.8's with just headers, FIPK, and my Vig 3600 converter thats going in on Thursday. Can't wait to finish my bulkhead blowdown line then its 125 shot time. **** bastards at irwindale wont let me through tech without it .

AlmostRyan3 pretty stout numbers for kumhos

I'm grabbing up parts for head and cam swap about 1-2 months before I have everything should be fun.

Can't wait for **** to start breaking....

Yeah I know they are a bit faster still, full bolt ons slicks skinnies weight reduction and every free mod imagineable. Yank 4k should be here today or monday, ET streets are waiting for me then it will be 7.50s if not faster. That would be 11.70 without the rest of the bolt ons (LTs mainly).

James what stall speed you looking to get?
