My ADM performance experience
As Some of you may have seen in an earlier thread, I dropped off my beloved Roxy last friday the 15th @ ADM Performance to finally have some work done.
First off let me tell you, the professionalism and knowledge of Andy and Ben is amazing. These guys really know what they are doing. The good stuff. I dropped her off originally to jut get the ADM Stage 2 Cam package, ported TB, and ported intake. We all know how that goes. After a little peer pressure, by some good friends, not to name any names....Ahem cough..cough Camaro21/Firefighter1..cough..cough, its decided that while she is there, she is getting some new 3.91 gears haha. To be completely honest, I really couldn't pass up the deal, and very grateful I have the friends I do. Now the wait..probably the longest 3 days of my entire life as i am like a kid waiting for last three days before christmas. Monday comes around and as my buddy Kenny and i were having a few yellow bellies, we discuss when is he finally going to mod his 2011 SS A6. His answer, "Why not now? Lets see what Andy can do for me while we are there." I promptly call Andy and ask if we can maybe do some long tubes and a CAI on Kenny's car when we come to pick up Roxy. Andy's response, "Sure if you guys show up early enough we can get you guys set up. Actually ask your friend if he wants your 3.45 gears i'll give him a deal he cant pass up haha." Needless to say you know what the answer was. Wednesday Morning bright and early, we begin our trek to Lewisville from Abilene. We walk through the door and without hesitation Andy gets Kenny's keys and whips his car into the stall. Meanwhile he tosses my keys and says go for a test drive and see how you like it. Roxy fires up with a tremendous roar from her chilly morning slumber. Instantly i was 100% satisfied, the tone of the exhaust note changed, she was louder and that lope....yep i was happy. Then i decide i want to hear what she sounds like from behind......... i release the clutch and instantly she lurches forward into the dumpster 2 feet away  It was nobody's fault but my own, as i know most people park thier manual transmission cars in first gear without the E-brake. I however do not. I am a neutral and E-Brake kinda guy. no major damage done to the car just some paint and scratches.. looks like I am getting my ZL1 fascia a little sooner than i thought haha.Finally we jump in and go for a little test drive. I leave the complex and stand on the throttle...WOW she really pulls now. Words cannot discribe how happy i am with this build. Our little joy ride lasts a little less than a half hour, and when we return to the shop we find out that Andy and Ben have already removed Kenny's exhaust, swapped out his rear diff with my old diff, and started working on the header install. These guys are fast, and good at what they do. I finally end this book with the #'s pre dyno she came in at 411rwhp/414rwtq and ended with 452rwhp/430rwtq. Attached is the sheets and a quick vid of the exhaust note. For those that want to know, Kenny did not get a pre dyno run but ended with 362rwhp/383rwtq going from stock to LT's, ADM Race CAI, 3.45 gears and tune.

Awesome! Glad you had the same experience that the rest of us have had with Andy and Ben. Best shop I've done business with in nearly 20 years of playing with cars.
And good on you for throwing a little blame at Camaro21 for your additional expenditures.  If I hadn't met him, FloMo, Number9, and Sasquash all at Crandall one day....I might have never called Andy to work on my car. Happy customers are the best advertising any business can have.

Of course! Need to talk to you about maybe taking her in for me while I'm deployed for some work so that she is done when I return. We will talk about it at TCR or sooner.

Don't know if it was the first LLT that they worked on but they did an outstanding job swapping out the diff. Have some other things in mind for them to do.

yea the fact that instead of buying gears and having them install it, they swap the whole diff is awesome.
