Default Great start with EnglandGreen

I want to come right out and tell everyone here about my experince with EnglandGreen this morning.

I drove from Austin to Houston this morning to drop my car off with Jason and Stephen. These guys went out of their way to meet me on a Saturday morning. They showed me around the shop, answered my questions, showed me the parts they will be installing, and even drove me to the airport to catch a flight home.
I have no doubt that this project will go great. Stephen and Jason are top notch. It's not too often that people will go out of their way like these two have. They deserve a big thumbs up!

OMG! Did you write down your odometer mileage before you left? Are you not aware of the "extended test drives" necessary??













No worries.

Were you privileged to ride in Stephen's limo to the airport? Nothing but the best for a customer.

They'll do you right. Fast too. Heck, your car is probably half disassembled as we speak.

Not going to speculate on my own. I've been told around 400 to the wheels. I probably won't dyno the car. A street tune is fine for me and I don't need a sheet of paper to tell me that it's fast.

EG was great to work with. During my install of a Whiplash cam last September I called the shop at 6pm on a Saturday and they picked up and answered the questions, this was great. Customer service is high on their list and I really appreciate that.

I have a 99 with Vararam, LS6 intake, Whiplash cam, Underdrive pulley and LT headers and I Dyno'd 402/372 on a DynoDynamics system. I still have factory injectors which is a problem with fuel and likely holding the numbers back a little bit.
