I heard about this but had no idea that it was an employee from RPM. I'm supposed to be getting it back at the end of this week so i took some time off from work next week to break it in. Hopefully everything goes smoothly for the next week or two but im still planning on taking it by function tuned regardless just so i can get another place to check it out and dynod. Im still getting the aps exhaust put on but i will def get that done by Function tuned as well. Too many f*$#ing problems with RPM.

Hurry on that APS dual. I believe they're discontinuing it and it's a NASTY exhaust.

You're right. APS doesnt even have any and they make the frickin thing. I bought what i think was the last one out on the market a lil while ago and should be here today. Whent through hell to get it with all the places i had to call and get turned down.

Oh, so are you getting any work done by RPM or did you just see it when you drove by?

I wouldnt even let RPM finnish your car. All you need is for your motor to blow a week later after there install. Tell them to stop working on your car, box up any parts, get a list of parts then "needed" to order and tow that baby to FT ASAP!!!

I know all to well about motors blowing a week after work is done but half *** shops

Dave can break your car in on the dyno while he tunes. That is the plan with mine. When I leave it will be ready to be run hard.

That sounds great, I'll have to give them a call sometime and see what i want as soon as next pay day hits. Hoping for a good size tax return as well.
