Its been a busy August and we have no sign of slowing down. A little bit of everything going on from tuning to installing a Fitech 6 pack efi making dreams come true.

My spots for big winter builds are full already and we are into November for anything else so keep that in mind when calling. I try to sneak things in when I can as well.

Another L8T swap in the books. This 17 Burban had a high mileage hurt 5.3 so we opted to swap a 6.6 in and add headers but otherwise bone stock. Now it feels like it should for a big vehicle and has an awesome exhaust note.

Next one I will try to get some progress pictures, that is one thing I struggle with while working.

Working at home today on my Trans Am but I figured I'd share this. This C10 has been one of my biggest projects to date and its almost ready to go home. First off I have to say thank you to John Wehner on the badass transmission he built for it, this th400 doesn't miss a beat. Also Avery Christenson and Juan Fernandez for all the help getting everything put together and working. This truck pretty much had to have everything redone but before we started the base power was 480whp /600tq, this quick 3rd gear pull it made 1090whp/1330tq on 15psi! The pull is so quick and aggressive I believe its more power but I believe I am loosing some through the converter. This is a BP 632ci, twin GT45s, Holley Terminator, FIC 1650, dual custom made in tank(factory tank) Walbro 535s on e85. The 632 is unopened other than intake change for EFI. We will have more on it as the owner decides what else he wants to do.

What a privilege to be part of something like this for the NHRA Nationals at BIR this weekend. Thanks to John Trutnau for letting me sort this out and getting it running correct. This is a LT4/6l80e funny car that he built to help get kids involved and I believe they will be giving rides around BIR next weekend with it.

A few vehicles we have tuned and or modified in the past few weeks. 2013 Vette which had a tune already I was able to pick up another 20hp making 383whp, Monte Carlo with a 6.0 and TSP stg3 cam made 420whp and climbing but had to get out early due to drivetrain vibrations, and a 21 Hellcat we did a 2.72 pulley, ID1300s, dual pump and modules with e85 it made 850whp tuned by Josh.

Well I don't say much about the car that has helped me build my business but our Trans Am is the heart and soil of the shop so I think it's time for a revamp. I built thr LQ4 10 years ago with the intentions of making 700ish horsepower...and it's lived at 1000+whp for at least 5 years but this Powercruise she decided she was done. It still runs great but something is starting to come apart inside so I am going to take it apart and see what's happening. That being said it was still dominating on the track (651 had nothing for it) but I think we can make it even better and faster! So it's is going into the shop and getting blown apart in every corner.
The car made 1100+whp on stock crank and block, it went 8.6 with factory ecu and suspension location, so I think we will shoot for 7.6 with a few changes but keeping it street car.

Not everyday is a win unless you change how you look at things. Blaze brought us his PPV this spring for a TorqStorm, stall, and e85 on his original 6.0, well after installing everything and putting it on the dyno the valve seat decided to come loose and destroy the engine...at idle!
So anyway we got him a used 6.2 now with a TSP Centry cam, head studs, and all new gaskets, which worked out in his favor now because it made 620whp on 8psi and a very soft tune.
It took me awhile to get it together for him because I had to work on it between jobs, but i can say it's ready to go home and put some miles on before we turn it up more. Thank you for being s patient with me.

We finished up this Pursuit the other day. It got a Texas Speed & Performance Stg2 cam and valvetrain and complemented with a stall converter. This has great street manners and pulled off 395/400 after Josh finished tuning and that is in 90 degree temps. Ive seen bigger cams make less. The car already had headers and exhaust and made 336/364 prior to coming here.
