Wow, your a real grown up.... Why dont you just make a trip to said RPM and tell him that? It takes a real big man to sit behind a computer and talk shit about businesses and people personally. Just my .02

Then again I have a mustang so what do I know.

In all fairness Jeremy, you had a box of premium parts which you purchased and they installed them for you. Its not miracle work to get TFS heads, big cubes, and compression to make great power. The dyno section (seems to) reflect that regularly now. Is your car together as it was right now? Or do they have it apart for the turbo thats going in? If its together I would like to run you on the highway for fun, you should win by alittle, but curious to see.

Ohhhhh, I just can't help myself...

I wish LMR and RPM could have a couple of races so LMR could tear that crap up! LMR/LME in Houston are worth any 4-hour drive to get a good quality motor built and an "above average" tune. Just look at the facts: LMR won TONS of heads-up races last year back-to-back! What do any shops in DFW have to show for?

I've also never heard anything negative about SQR, probably the best peformance shop for our cars in this area.

Jesus Christ...can I cheerlead for Steve Petty and Proline if we are pulling LMR into the RPM vs DFW shops debate. I'll bet Proline would whip LMR/LME any day of the week heads up on 10.5's or 10.5 W's dumdumdum rah rah sis boom bah.

RPM can do quality work. I have had them do minor things to my car with mixed results some good some just slightly below what I cared for but I dealt with it for the price.

RPM can install a cam/bottle/heads etc just fine like SQR can. RPM can produce a solid tune just like SQR can.

The way I was treated by Daniel and Scott in talking to them at the track would lead me to go there IF I needed work done. Nothing against RPM but I really do appreciate the advice and time out of their days talking to me and answering questions without talking down to me. Pick someone, lay out EXACTLY what you expect so there are no if's/ands/but's at the end and if it's not 100% right take it back to the shop before you run to the internet and post up saying RPM sucks blah blah and see if you can work it out like men should.

We actually did this, and my husband was turned away and rejected for any further help (after only 1 business dealing with them) when we were honest with them about how they put a "stock" tune on my car when it should have been tuned for a new cam, headers, intake, etc. The car would not even stay running and ran awful at the track! All they had to do was take the car back and do it right and they never even offered to fix their mistake. Since then if people ask I'm going to tell them the truth. They would not even give us part of our $500 back! I'm not sure if the same people work there now, maybe they are more experienced than before, but overall we were very surprized with the outcome of the situation.

Same names I remember minus the transmission shop. I thought RPM had props in there at one point as well?
