cool rides at the hot rod/comp cams pump gas drags


Today I have on my shop dyno a new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 making 650+rwhp and 650+rwtq

Yesterday I had a 1969 Z28 in the shop making 700+rwhp and a Tbird making over a thousand rwhp.

this job isnt even like working. im like a kid in a candy store.



oh, and with any luck, hot rod magazine is coming to the shop this afternoon to get photos of the Jeep on the dyno. Maybe my new shop will get some publicity since we basically shut down this week so we could strictly focus on helping the racers for the big even.

I will try to get pics up of the cars soon.

its picking up quickly. weve been open for 6 weeks and for the first couple, it was slow....but word is getting out fast and people are liking what they see when they come by.

Hot Rod did come by. They took lots of photos and even interviewed me and my business partner.

Duno if it will end up on TV, the net, or anywhere at all for that matter....but it could be huge publicity for us.

the tbird that was in our shop both yesterday and today. he was just making some carb adjustments and changed out the ring and pinion.

the car makes 1500+ at the crank. one very nasty machine.

the car is just incredible. it could pass as a show car with no problem, has full interior, creature comforts.....but the exhaust note would definately make you crazy.

oh, it ran 8.50s last night. they claim it has 8.20s in it and I believe em.

this is probably my favorite all around car at the event. not the fastest or the most powerful......700+rwhp ........

but just an all around BEAUTIFUL car. gorgeous interior, great paint, the cage is a work of art.....and lets face it, whats not to like about a 69 Z.

oh, and the dork in the black shirt is my business partner.

I love what I do, but make no mistake, its been tough, hard work. We have been open for 6 weeks and I have worked every single day...sometimes 12 and 14 hour days.

It will pay off in the long run though.
