I haven't rode in any cars you have tuned, so I can't comment on what you can do, but some people in this thread have said you are good, and I believe them, just no first hand experience with you.

Why do you rolleyes at National Speed, have you heard back things about them?

Gotcha. I have known quite a few of the guys that have worked there for years (from living in Wilmington before the shop opened), I am just interested in hearing some feedback on them. The shop actually opened since I moved from there.

I wouldn't take my car to a number of shops that I trust even haha.

Next Saturday is a 275 drag radial race at Piedmont, I plan to go to snap some pics, anybody want to go? Seeing cars in the mid 5s on Dr's that skinny is a blast.

Got up there and drained the fluid out. I jacked the car up on the passenger side and then jacked up the rear passenger side higher to make sure i get all the fluid out. I put the drain plug back in and tigthen it down. There was some shavings on the plugs. My car has just about 900 miles on it.

I put the car back on all 4 tires, I'm in my drive way and it is pretty level. I go to fill it and I put 2 quarts in. Thinking .. It should take a little over half of the 3rd bottle. Well I'm waiting for the fluid to start coming out of the fill hole. After I poured over half the bottle in there, I back the hose out and the fluid starts to come out. So I let it drain out thinking I've filled it to much. The 3rd bottle has 32 oz, I poured all put 9oz in there. 32-9 = 21oz. so 21 oz of the 3rd bottle was poured in there. I let it drain out until it became a fine little stream. Then I put the drain plug back in. I didnt wait for it go to drop drop drop. ya know? took it for a test drive, 2nd was harder to get in to, but it wasnt completely warmed up yet (tranny wise, motor about to) up and down the road I went and it seems to get smoother as it got warmer. just paranoid about having to go to the deal bc of 2nd gear. The car was build in feb/march of 2008

Did I **** up on anything?

Are you talking about an Evo? There is no Evo in your car list.
