Well I talked to Christen last night and I know what I am going to get. I just need to get specifics so you noobs can help me out.

I am getting the following:

GT rear bumper (done)
GT rear bumper painted (waiting on bumper to arrive)
FRPP 3.73 gears
FRPP T-Lok
C&L CAI / Brenspeed tune
FRPP springs

I am still undecided if I want to go 3.73's or 4.10's. There is still much debate over that, and Richard at Strictly said for me to go 3.73 because 4.10's would make my car just too wound up.

What do you all think?

I love my 4.10s, but 3.73s should be a nice kick in the pants as well. Eric has 3.73s.

Hrmm.. decisions decisions. I am also look on Brenspeeds website and I don't see where you can select from 3 different tunes when you order it... you do get 3 different tunes when you buy from Brenspeed right?

Yeah, Seth will probably email you for all the info afterwards. That's how they did it with me.
They'll ask you what octane tunes you want, and the specs of your car.
They did an 87, 89, and 93 for me, since we have no 91.

They don't do it that way at Brenspeed. You just get your 3 tunes.

Hey guys! Man it's been insane here at work!!

Oddy just remember as Brad mentioned that Strictly is probably one of the largest speed shops around Houston! They have a lot more installs then most out on the road.

I have seen quite a bit of crap work from other shops come throughStrictly"s doors as I am around there quite a bit. In fact I had a first hand look at a twin turbo that was installed by a shop in Houston many talk about. I don't know the story behind it so I can't say much other then the motor was blownup and the install looked horrible! Hey everybody has a bad car or a driver that doesn't follow instructions on break-in or modifies something after the fact. So who knows!

I have been in the fabrication business long enough to know that it's never the customers fault! No matter what they do! No matter how much you try to protect them from themselves. The reality is that the more customers you have the more chance you have for one of those jobs to go South on you. It's just the way it is. Sometimes it's your fault but many times its a combination of things including the customer themselves.

I cant talk about others experience. I can only say the guys at Strictly have always been more then fair.I have tried other shops and quite honestly almost everything I had done somewhere else had to be fixed by Strictly or replaced by them. That is why I am where I am and don't plan on moving!
