Default Just paid my deposit to Race Proven Motorsports for my supercharger install.

I have done a lot of research and I have to admit I'm very impressed with this shop so far. I had a ton of questions and Fran has answered all of them for me. He didn't try to up sell me like a couple of other shops did. I own a car lot and I get the up sell ****. I'm not the one to try it with though. I have got a bunch of private messages about who I was going to use and I will let everyone know how goes. So far I'm very happy ...

I can tell you that I live in Pittsburgh PA. and have looked at 3 different shops. I sure the hell wouldn't be shipping my Z 5 hours away without doing some research first.. If I had a shop like RPM in my neighborhood my Z would be there once a week getting **** done to it..

I have known Fran for years and years back when he was a transplant in the South.

Good shop with strong products leaving his garage.

You will be a very happy customer.

Are you upgrading your head while your doing the supercharger install? New valve guides/springs etc to give yourself peace and mind over that dreaded issue. I'm about to get an ECS supercharger kit installed and going to buy new re-done heads to go along with my install.

We are replacing the valves yes... If you are local to us give us a call and I can get you taken care of.

I was starting to get excited to ship my car to you Fran. I got up this morning and looked out the window and was like I hate this white ****... Looking forward to get it to you and get it back.
