Tuner recomendation
I am fairly new to this site. And this is my first posting.
I have a 2000 hardtop, black. I am thinking of taking my car to Doug Rippie Motorsports and I wonder if anybody has any exprience with or insight to Doug Rippie, or would you have any other recomendations such as lingenfelter.
I want to get about 500 hp and tq with a na 383 stroker engine. Rippie offers a 383 stroker engine with 500 hp and tq.
Thanks :flag

I've only heard good things about DRM too - someone will have some more specific info. Lingenfelter is also great choice - doesn't get any better. :seeya

I've got a 427 going in to my car at DRM as we speak. Check out Car and Driver magazine. In an issue earlier this year they tested both a 427 DRM coupe and a 383 DRM stroker. They had nothing but great things to say about both. The DRM 427 holds a Car and Driver acceleration record. The point of the article was how DRM builds its cars to hold up to hard track use and be both durable and docile enough to get you home at the end of the day in comfort. Some tuners build wilder packages, but DRM does them to provide long, trouble free power.

There are many reputable tuners to choose from. Just check out the list on the left hand side of this webpage.
As for DRM or Lingenfelter, you definitely can not go wrong with them. Great tuners and proven.
I have gone to A.R.E. for a H/C package on my 99 hardtop. They also build AMAZING strokers as well.
welcome to the board and goodluck!
