I drove by the shop today for a Transgo shift kit install and it was closed. Does anybody know what happened to Ted May?

He is open today...I just spoke with him. Give him a call...408-448-8811. I believe yesterday was his travel day back to the bay area from the race this past weekend.
Glad to hear you are going with him for the install. I know you will be happy with his work. Take care.

I was just there today...he said he was closed yesterday as he was racing all weekend. Ted is awesome. Does great work and really takes the time to explain what he is doing. Treats the car like it was his. !!!

I just had my car on the dyno today at mustang ranch and the tech Terry said many Nor Cal C5 guys go to a guy named Ralph Gobel in Sacramento. Does this name ring a bell for anyone? Any work done by him? Is he on the forum?

peace
