    Seriously go to Gearheads though.
    I've used Travis in the past. They did the long tube install and the initial dyno tune on the car. Ended up around 430 to the wheels. Car went a best of 11.67 like that.

I really don't care what they accomplish on the track if they can't translate it to putting customers cars together right. You're only as good as your lowest customer service experience.
          Is that why she left?

            Travis is a good guy. I knew him back when he owned THP. I would trust him with my car if I needed work on it.

              Maybe you should ask her?

                  Shut the fuck up, already. It doesn't sound like that at all.

                      Slide the cock back outta your mouth.

                      Sounds like he wants a race car that he can drive to work. De tune it, or buy a daily. Or learn to deal with daily driving a race car.

                        Be that as it may, it doesn't excuse the shops lack of communication and empty promises.

                            Dude, I know you're smart enough to understand what level of tuning abilities we have now. His setup should run 10.30 all day long while still having stock feeling driveability.

                            Hell, Manny's S/C 2011-12 made 784hp and drove like it was factory fresh. He knows how to do it. It wasn't until he was prompted to push the limits and break 1000hp that it let go. That was on a completely bone stock motor.

                            The man paid for that and didn't get it. Granted, this is all his side of the story, but the technology stands. You already knew this. Your trolling is merely unintelligent babble.

                              Drives like factory is a blanket statement. You know this. I'm sticking up for hpp while this guy puts them on blast.

                                Dude. We're not talking about a foxbody with an SCT chip that loses contact after a rev limiter clutch dump on slicks.

                                It should not hunt for idle. It should not misfire at part throttle.

                                I will concede that there may be more to the story, but so far I don't feel like he has really bashed anyone.
