From the few people I've talked to about Gotham I've heard positive things. However, I've only heard from a few people and that's not alot of reference to bank on. I guess the only way to find out is to check them out.

Or dyno the back and multiply by 2 as you drive away. Saves the hastle of dynoing the front.

that only works if the weight is exactly 50/50 stupid. if theres more weight in front, then it will push more HP to those wheels i think. but i guess u could find out what the ratio is and multiply it that way..

I found the formula. You're right about the weight. If it's 50/50 then obviously it's easy math, but if you've got more weight up front the formula is as follows...

Rear Wheel HP x 2 x Blue

If you have more weight in the rear it's this...

Rear Wheel HP x 2 x Cheeseburger

Works 100% of the time!

I've heard that Forced Induction Systems in McKinney wasn't bad, neither.

I wanted to visit the shop to look around, but never got around to doing it.

It should only take you about 30 minutes or so from Lewisville. That depends on what time of day and traffic. I haven't been there, but no where it is. Let us all know what you think of the place.

So you didn't get the dyno done or schedule it? I know they're known for RX-7s, but did it seem like that's all they do? I'm not real familiar with them, just heard of them.

^ was going to but my friend couldn't make it there, so i went there by myself with my mom's altima.....lol.......anyway they charge dyno for 50 something dollars (AWD)+ have to call in a head before.
But there is really nothing to look at it ( showroom ) unless you want to go see turbo rx-7s lol

Did you talk to anyone to kind of get a feel of the place? Did they seem like a shop worth going to or should we go somewhere else until we get an RX-7?

Do i recommand ??? it is really hard to say from my visit, because i've never done anything with them or really talk to them. If i have a turbo, i will keep them in one of my local shop book.


Sorry couldn't help that much lol
