well, I was there a few weeks ago @ their shop in Wallington...

from what I know, they said they were in the process of moving to a new location, which was to be completed by this past weekend...

apparently, on rt 46, in the former Motorsport 46 location, I believe....

I need to find out as well....hmmmm

I tried calling them the other day and sending them an email to schedule some dyno time. There phone# was disconnected and the email on there website isn't working. Not a good way to get business.

right, well, considering the fact that they MOVED about 7 miles to a new location the end of last week/this past weekend...kinda expect that

I'm going to be in the area today on rt 46, and will be looking for their new shop....I'll report back if I find them! lol

what do you need done? they are capable to do a lot, build an engine, swap a transmission, fabricate an exhaust, intake manifold, weld just about anything....wire up an engine management, bolt on stuff....etc

they dont have a dyno installed yet....probably may/june
