I spoke with Arthur today for about 20 minutes. He seems like a really nice, down to earth kind of guy. He said that he's in the process of rebuilding his shop and it will probably be done in 3-4 months. I spoke with him about my nitrous plans and he gave me some good ideas. I'll most likely be taking my Lightning to him when he gets his new shop up and running.

I'll give a thumbs up for Mike, he really is a good guy. I wish he was a little closer, I'd give him more of my business....

I went and met Mike at Unique today. He seems like a really nice, knowledgable guy. His shop is kinda small, but it looks like he has everything he needs. He needs a little help to get his showroom in the front finished, but other than that, I may have to take my L down and throw it on the rollers once the nitrous kit is installed.

Ditto with what Shane said...Mike is a good guy. Bill is the one that screwed everything up for Mike and Lucan (other owner) when they first opened. Bill really screwed me and shane hard core and left Mike to pick up the pieces. Mike used to have a HUGE place in the same area but was forced to move to where he is at...and he's admitted the place is to small for them for day one, but they are trying to recover. I wouldnt hesitate giving Mike business...him and lucan are 2 really nice guys...now bill on the other hand...well thats another story

Default Tunning

Hello Spencer We have delt with several tuners. Results to me are Keeping the Trucks cars together and making great Power but staying with end the limits of the complete systems. Everyone wants to go fast but not at the expence of a motor. I have been talking to lots of tunners latley trying to fully understand how things change over etc. during a run. I felt JDM has spent Hours of R and D Example Daryl's truck as you know ran two 10.66's the air fuel in High gear with a 4.10 gear turning about 5500 RPMs was dead on 11.2A/F Bill's on the 10.7 run was on 11.5A/F Jim and I have talked about NOS tunes and they regulate there fuel in the Tune as needed. I'm as it stands now Partal to Jim and there crew . But as I have met and seen some others that I trust Example Larry his tunner has worked wonders Aurther Todd. Randy has great Performance with Sal. The part I like about JDM is I think they have done a lot of Rand D to perfect there 's I want a tune that makes the trucks Fly but are safe and as you saw a Jackson We put on a show for heavy trucks. Once Bill gets his 3.4 and I get the Bugs worked out we might even see some 9's HOPE! See Ya Mitch Good Luck
