Clint and Sean at Truestreet are good people. They will take care of you.

Is that the Clint that used to be at HPP?

Yes, good guy and it's the best customer service I've ever had at shop.

Cool, maybe I'll roll up there to watch and hang out. I was up there at TS on Saturday talking with the guys.

Cool deal man. Come on up. My appt is at 9:30. I've never been there before. I'm looking forward to meeting them. I've heard nothing but great things about them.

Clint and Sean are good people. They are a couple of old school guys that I've known from racing "back in the day". Since they are real car guys themselves who love to go racing, they always go that extra mile to make sure their customers are happy. This is NOT one of those shops that when you call you can't get ahold of someone or when you do, you get BS exuses. They call YOU to keep you informed the whole way of what they are doing, they will answer/explain all your questions no matter how long it takes.

A great, quality shop.

Yeah I was deciding between them and Gearheads. Both have great reps with my car club... biggest difference is True Street answered the phone. Gearheads has a bad email address on their website and didn't return my call. If you're too busy to call me, my money must not be important enough.

I had my own experience with GH's, but that is all I will say about that. TrueStreet is the only shop that will get any of my money.

Here it is:

[Taxman]

It was great seeing you there and I love the car. I'm very impressed with that shop and good choice in going there.

Cool build, your engine bay looks great and you made good power today. How does it drive?

Mostly it drives great. I'm having some issues with this damn BBK throttle body though. It's throwing the car into fail safe mode. Ordering a FRPP throttle body tonight.

I thought about popping in and saying "Hey its me , the guy with the longest build in history, I'm 05stoker" LOL but, I had a long day today at work so, priority takes over. I am ready for some track time!!!!

I have the GT500 throttle body, have never had an issue with it. I remember a few years back lots of people were having all kinds of issues with the BBK throttle body.
