we have to make this more clear. I'm talking about RPMNYC in queens NY not yonkers. and so what if they dont have a dyno most shops don't, that doesnt mean that there work is a lesser quality

Sorry, I was reffering to RPM in Yonkers. I have no experience with the other one.

Sorry for the confusion

I got a great RPM story for all you lovers out there. My buddy from PA had his Supra worked on up there, lets just say everything that could have gone wrong did. They put about 500 miles on his car and had nothing done to it but.....fawk up his paint, and tune his **** worse then what it was when he took it there!

Edit: oh and his stereo was stolen there as well!

I dont like any shops in NYC area. All of them I have been to give me a bad vibe. I have never been to RPM though.

Price is high, but not completely outrageous.

$245 for the system, add the cost of another ECU ($150?) the conversion harness ($100), the labor to install ($100?), the dyno time ($200-$300 w/ wideband, tuning)

I've got a guy is selling a B16 head that was built and worked on them, SKunk2 springs, Ti retainer, p&p etc..
just curious how good of a job they do.
If I should just buy a junk yard head and have it built ot save a few hundred and take that one.

What does everyone think?

Yay or Nay?

Not to be confused with RPMNYC, the RPMRacing shop you going to in Long Island is a real race shop that have years of experience in road racing for German cars, currently the official shop for Porsche Club of America New York Region. They also campaign a pair of Mini Coopers for the Grand-Am series.

Their shop have top quality equipments and a garage full of cars that can make you **** your pants. I am also getting an alignment done on my car Friday, they will set it exactly the way you want...they spent 2 hours last time getting to my specs with a flat rate :thumbup...better than factory specs alignment from Sears that takes only 15 minutes.

this is the shop in question :

http://www.rpmracinginc.com

As for RPMNYC, I wouldn't let them touch my car neither. As far as I am concerned, they do sell stolen parts if you ask for them.
