I have one in my vette...great service and highly recommended! Chad is a great guy and will work with you on whatever your wants are...i actually got the opportunity to play with different options, and changed cam, rocker arms, and a few other things for desired shift points and horsepower. I'm jealous, because I'd love to be an hour away from that place! Tell Chad, Herb with the 69 vette recommends him.
