I honestly I cant believe how knowledgeable i got when I fully supported these shops to do all work in a timely manner

What a shame and same thing here. 5+ years in a shop, blew my head 3 times on the dyno, made me cover the bill everytime it gave out on a build THEY DID. Never backed their own work. Lied about timelines. Wouldn’t return calls or messages. Never took ownership or anything or even tried to make it right. This is a well known shop in my area too. Ridiculous.

You really do learn alot buy just tinkering with these cars. I wish forums where a dying thing as you can learn so much.
Also i think they are prety far away but inline racing is in Texas and Huy seems to know a lot.
