Best modular shop in DFW area?

I too suggest HPP for building your car up. I've dealt with Manny since they were working out of Jeremy's shop back in the day.

1. They do what they say they are going to do and have been around longer than all the others listed for a reason. Travis would be a close second at gearheads.
2. Manny's attention to details to make sure things are right have always been top notch.
3. they have always treated me well and done the things I could not do myself for a fair price.
4. One of the few shops in TX I would trust my car to...which means trust my LIFE to given it's a race only setup.

yeah, its pretty vague. i would have never assumed that meant 20-30 min runs.

Probably because you live your life a quarter mile at a time.

You do know what aggie97 does for fun, right?

What you're doing is akin to someone without an MD telling a heart surgeon how to perform an open bypass.

It ain't only for fun anymore. Wife and I now own the driving school and my shop is going to get off the ground here in the next two months. It's more of a "for profit" thing than it ever has been.

I'm going to start focusing on building customer cars later this year depending on work load. WAY too many things going on right now. My race car hasn't seen the track since november 2010...it's only been started 3 times! that needs to change. Funny thing I have seen specific to road racing shops here in TX is there are plenty who can send you a large bill and you still need to pray your car stays together either due to poor workmanship or just a bad plan to start with. We are bringing years of racing experience to the table to build STRONG reliable track cars so you can maximum your track time...and not the wrenching or garage time.

As the to do list gets shorter, I hope to be able to concentrate on the shop a little more....but REAL JOB travel is about to get in the way again.

VERY nice. I'd love to get in some RR experience just to see if I'd do any good, but alas, Rangers don't turn well lol

You not driving with that AI team anymore?

V6 mustang rental cars work VERY well for a track weekend, especially for beginners. With the LDW, the weekends are pretty cheap compared to wailing on your street car!

I've never been involved in any road racing, or pavement for that fact.

But, if you know of someone looking for a driver, I know where one happens to be at, comes complete with safety gear, and a desire to go fast lol

my bad. One of the AI teams had a former dirt track racer with initials D.G. this season and I thought it was you.

You're thinking of Blue Point Racing and David Garland. I race with him on dirt.

yeah, its pretty vague.

You favor meth injection because that is all you know and you are partial to it.

I don't believe anything a Subaru guy says because those idiots are from another planet called richissafeville.

I tuned an sti with exhaust and cold air for e85. I would see 23 psi on the low side and 19ish on the big end with the factory waste gate at 95%. That is all the boost the factory 07 turbo system would make. inlet air temps never rose more then 10* over ambient on the stock turbo and motor wot in 6th gear. the cost of the conversion was about 400 at the time for the injectors and pump. 255hp & 55 pound injectors.

Won a championship in 07 with a carb on e85 before the class outlawed it the next year.

Got a 351 street car making a 1000 rear wheel on it.

I will stick to what i know. e85 is very effective for what i do, that's why i use the shit.
