Default Honda/Acura proformance shop on LI NY

I am 8 year experinced automotive technician ASE master certified and looking to leve my job at an acura dealer and go into business for myself, I want to open a honda/acura proformance shop on long island. I just want to get some feedback on who would be interested and what services you want .

When I start it (planning on sometime between march 06-may06)and I am going to open as a repair and proformance shop and phase into total proformance . I would like to do all aspects of raceing drag and auto-x, eventually get a dyno, alignments, crate motors, and any other proformance setups and repairs.

Please post your feedback good or bad I would really like to know if there is a market for this on long island ?

Thank you
Tom

Thanks man thats exactly the plan I want to focus on all a types of raceing drag and Auto-x setups I have huge ideas and I am planning to build a CRX or 90's civic . '

I am thinking of maybe the 12's on the stock bottom end or something like that , that would be difficult to do to show my skills I haven't decided what yet but I don't plan on starting the business untill march06

Thanks for the support
Tom
