Not that my build is nearly as beastly as yous, But, Tom Henry did something similar for me, since I live almost 1000 miles away he made sure the tune was right and the car was boken in properly before they threw it on the dyno... He even had some of his most picky employees drive it checking for rattles and squeaks... Good to know they are taking care of you.

What were you doing up at 4am? Hard time sleeping?

Ted, Tom Henry, Livernois, ADM, HPT, just to name a few, will continue to have success, however thats measured, and a long line of Happy Customers... They pay attention to the details, and do whats right.... They will all have a few unhappy customers, but for the good shops, those are few and far between... I venture in most cases, those are more related to the customer not knowing what they want in the first place... I am very happy with Corey, and his employees, and his shop... and I don't even have my car back yet... As mentioned before, I shopped long and hard before I was fortunate enough to find one right down the street... relatively speaking... 40 minutes from my house... uhm, I'm in Brazil, it's two hours earlier than CST, and I usually get up around 3:30 or 4:00 am local time, so I'm getting up at 1:30 or 2:00 your time... and yes, it is hard sleeping knowing my car is in the shop and I can't go see it.

The anticipation is half the fun.

The anticipation is killing me... You who grew up with performance cars at the highest levels... it was tough, and exciting.. for me, with this being my first MAJOr build ever, it's absolutely brutal...I've been on the rig 7 days, and it seems like three months already... Is it possible time stopped...

Well, since it is my intention to continue to go as fast as Corey can propel me, I bit the bullet and ordered my driving gear today... Pants, jacket, etc... I ordered from Simpson, and had to laugh when I was looking on the contact tab, and found out their world headquarters are 35 minutes from my house, and five minutes from Corey's shop... in of all places, New Braunfels Texas... Cool deal...They asked me to stop by with the car when she is ready to go...
It's a done deal, the stuff will arrive at the house, and now I'll just need a cage to really see what Brandi is capable of... the biggest curve I assure you will be the driver mod... a little time is all I'll need there though, and the way my build is going, i'll only have a little time on the track to sort it out... I'm hoping for 10's, and maybe 9's in the not too distant future...

Believe me, I've got plenty of offers... and there will be a few, but not on the track other than Corey... and he isn't trying to set records, just make sure it's all sorted out... But, I do appreciate it immensly...
Wanna ride shot gun and give me some pointers, now that we could do... lol... I'm still waiting for some updates...

Better bring along a voice recorder, cause you might not be able to write... could end up with a pencil sticking out of your eyeball...
