Default Getting Norris-ized next week.

Well, I'm driving to Orlando (Ocoee, to be exact) this weekend to drop the Coupe off for Mike to work some magic on it.

Heads, Cam, UD Pulley, PCM Reprogram, Long Tube Headers, X-Pipe, Cat Back Exhaust.

I got a ride in a Coupe Mike had done that had 23,000 trouble free miles on the package. Scary fast.

Can't wait!!

Dave

Mike does great work, & more importantly, he stands behind it. When you are there, you will see our MagRed Vert waiting on the stroker.

6speedy,

Mike Norris is one of the truly 'good guys' in this buisness. We don't have any direct dealing with Mike, but, I have met him, I have talked to a bunch of people who have had success with his work and have seen numerous posts on this Forum about the quality of his work and his willingness to stand behind his work.

Great choice.

RG

Duke,
From your sig it looks like all you need is the Heads/Cam, PCM and maybe an UD pulley?

I was just "Norris-ized" last week myself. Mike's a great guy with super customer service. We ran into a few parts availability problems but Mike kept be up to date on a daily basis. I received the stage 2 heads, 228/228 cam, and a LS6 intake. I picked up 100rwhp on my A4 locked up, and 90rwhp unlocked. I'm extremely please with the driveability and service even with the rather large cam for an A4.

Good luck!

Well, I left at 4 am and got there around 11 am. Mike was nice enough to drop me at the Orlando Airport, and thankfully, AirTran is still in business. I hope they still are in 1-2 weeks, when I fly back down to get the car. The Mag Red Monster was resting comfortably under it's car cover, and several other C5s were there also.

Mike listened very patiently as I told him about 5 times to take good care of my Coupe, which I know he will. I guess I am having separation anxiety like a parent has with their kids.
