3.91 gear install by RPM Motorsports (Garner NC)

I just wanted to take a minute and share with the camaro5 community on my experience of RPM. First off, if you seeking to have work done and your on the fence or not sure where to bring it, do yourself a favor and figure out a way to get it to RPM. To say top notch or first class operation really does no justice of how well they work, customer service and craftsmanship. Plus with the amount of racing experience they all have..... Well you all know it's hard to beat experience and they have been there done that. Guys, this is not your typical shop that calls and orders parts from vendors and just throws them on your car. RPM is a legitament Balls to the wall hard core team that uses their knowledge and know how for you and your car. How can you go wrong? This is your benefit!!!

I have seen my share of fly by night shops. Been involved in racing for 30 yrs and currently have a manager position at Sprint cup team, so I've seen a lot too. I promise you you will thank yourself for choosing them to work on your car.

I'm an enthusiast like most of you who wanted to share my experience. As for the car, the rear is absolutely quite even more so than the factory. Kudos to the staff and Ryan Robinson at RPM. 3.91's is the way to go for the street. Car feels like it lost a couple of hundred pounds.
Simply awesome!! Thanks and cheers to you all.

Yep they did my 3.91s too. Great guys! Ryan let me hang out in the back and learn a few things and George took me to lunch since they were still working on the car. First class family operation.

Very nice shop and the guys are very helpful to say the least. I haven't actually had any work done there but have bought my parts through them. I tend to work on my car myself which gives me an opportunity to have hands on and learn like these guys have.

Couldn't agree more! Those guys did great work on my SS. I'll have my CTS-V in there as soon as I can convince the wife the Caddy's too quiet for people our age

Yeah this shop is all professional.

My Supercharger tune has been flawless since done almost exactly 1 year ago this January 18th.

Had RPM in NC do a bunch of work to my previous SS. Cam install, Headers, Clutch, Tune, great bunch of guys who do superior work. Not sure if they work on Fords, but if I ever decide to give up my warranty in the future, I will head to their shop for the work.
