  • Dyno
  • Tuner resaler
  • Turbo/SC setups
  • Suspension
  • Paint
  • Audio/Video
  • Open more locations
  • Sponserships

that will depend on if I do retail or just actual install. I plan on getting to the retail part soon. Then we can look at free shipping with an X amount of money spent.

I think you could build an engine or two and make some good cash
then work on getting the routing for a turbo setup going for all the ecotecs
I'd look into STS as well...
I thought of doing this in Florida...I had the backing, just not the time.

Well then when I finally get a little extra $ in the bank, you can do that for me.
Good idea, no asses on the streets.
