Default Another TT w/ Built Motor by S&R =)

So people seem to love our updates with build progress and updates. Here are some that we just took for a build that we're doing for Jay Rodriguez. This guy was boned real bad by another shop and came to us for the VIP treatment.

We just finished the long block assembly. Next we put the turbo kit on and make her breathe some FIRE!

Block Assembly Pics:
Durden's piston art is always a big hit.


















lots more great pics to come!

it's good times, man! Taylor loves to get creative. We're coating the turbo kit as we speak and going from there.

nope. Gamermodz is one of our customers. His motor got some great art work, too.

It's a G and I have nothing to say about anything related to any other shop. The customer really liked it and threw in some suggestions on the art work. lol

I couldn't care any less, my friend. No trying to rehash anything. The customer had his input to give.

Default and the build continues!

So the turbo kit is at the coaters right now so we're wrapping up everything else! Long block together!





and this is why suggest ALWAYS COAT!


we don't need your stinkin fuel lines! We'll make our own, thanks!




Charge Pipes and Intake

Yeah, that's me. i havent heard that name come out of someone elses mouth in a long time!

as far as rehashing, nothing like that's going on. this customer of ours has A LOT of opinions about them, and i fed off that when making my piston art. if it offends you, please just look at the other 5 pistons

because there are fine lines between necessity, customer budget and time frame. the factory fuel system will support the power levels this customer is trying to achieve. so, instead of trying to sell him on an over engineered fuel system, we are making his current system the safest and most reliable it can be.

having a line made properly in an hour for an inexpensive price seems like a worthy option over purchasing fuel rails, fuel regulator, associated fittings and lines and then installing the entire system. not to mention adding an additional fuel line to the system to facilitate a return.
