Default 2010 Grand Sport ECS 1500 Power Glide

We just got this in from another shop that couldn't finish the job. Found bolts loose everywhere. He ask us to finish the project and to dial it in at the track.

8.9... at 152 mph.Lets see how close i am to telling the truth.Powerglide does not rob any power compared to any other automatic transmission.The supporting mods will help this car run an excellent time.60 foot times in the high 1.3 s and it should do very well.Wouldnt that be impressive for a little 1500 blower.

It's not co-incidence you're the only shop that has the ability to be a forum sponsor in the Canadian section, and the countless amount of customers that praise and spew virtues of your shop.

Just with my experience I've heard several instances were frustrated customers from other shops come to your shop to complete/repair the inability of 'other' shops to complete projects they've started.

Some people/shops talk the talk, some others walk it!

Seems like this becoming more common for you guys. At first it was cars with poor tuning and now it's mechanical as well.

At least now it will get finished properly

That's nuts... did they actually return the car like that completed, or not complete the job ?
Amazing what goes on out there.
