Default Dragons Breath???

I hear that dragons breath are the best guys that are not too far away from Nashville. I talked with them on sat and they seemed to be very nice and they seemed to know what they were talking about. Does anyone have any first had experience with them??? I was planing on having them do an ATI install on my c5. The only thing I was really questioning would be the tunning. The thing is, I also plan on spraying it on top of the blower. They mentioned something about getting the tune from procharger after letting them know we planned on using nitrous too. I was just wondering if anyone had this experience and could shed some light. Thanks, for the info guys and I hope to turn my car over to dragons breath shorty and let them make it a bit faster. :cheers:

have had bob at DBP do all my mods... he did a custom port and polish on my MAF and TB and the throttle response is incredible... bob knows his stuff and if you tell him what you are looking to do he can offer lots of options on how to get there

He's done all the work on our vettes. He did the transgo shift kit, yank torque converter, 3.42 gears on our coupe along with the blackwing, headers, throttle body bypass and exhaust. He's helped me get over 360 hp rear wheel with just bolt ons.

Just had all 3 C5's oil changed and some fluids changed. I have the coupe in now for brake work and polished throttle body.

Bob "Violater" Moss has a reputation here at the forum, the Cruise Ins, and the NCM.

My car is at DBP now. Bob is replacing the mechanical water pump with an electric pump, polishing the TB, lowering 1", brake work and other things. I have always had my oil changed at the Acura dealer because I am not comfortable leaving my car at a Chevrolet dealer. Many of the Smoky Mountain Cruisers now use Bob exclusively, myself included.

Bob is the the man!

He's done plenty of work on my C5s and on my Suburban as well.

I was just there a few days ago getting him to fix what the dealer screwed up when they "fixed" the leaking diff in my '03.

Bob is as honest, hardworking, and trustworthy as they come. If he tels you something, you can believe it. :thumbs:

Bob's done so much to two of our cars (97 coupe and the 68) that we have the "Dragons Breath" logo on our windshields. :crazy: :)

oh, i see topless mentioned bob working on his suburban. he's worked on our grand cherokee, too, but somehow i don't think he wants Dragon's Breath on that windshield. :lol: Or maybe we could say it's the shop dog. :D
