I met a couple of guy's at the Portland Carshow this weekend,that had a booth with a innercooler and turbo sitting on the table so I stopped and bs'd with them a little bit,they seemed pretty intrested in helping out the local Buick community around here.
The one Guy Tommy seemed to know Terry Ryan,I think I'll be stopping buy their shop soon I hope, to check it out.
Anyone else heard of them?
I'm sure Pat has I don't think there's anyone car related that he doesn't know.
The shops located in Downtown Vancouver WA.
Later:Bill :beerglass

I stopped bye there yesterday after work,Tommy's a good guy and sounds like he's ready move the shop and install a dyno soon.
I kinda put a bug in his ear about doing some powder coating in trade for help tuning my car we'll see,it's just nice to have a local speed shop. :racer:

No problem,I'll do the prep work,but you'll need to disassemble the alt case(I've never done that)I also do all the masking,most shops will prep but if you don't specifically tell them what not to shoot they spray that crap evrywhere, not good if you've ever tried to thread a bolt into threads that have cured powder in them.
If you want anything in Cast Aluminum color I still have about a pound of that left over that I need to use.
Let me know

I remember racing Tommy in his yellow Stock Eliminator Nova once. I was in the old T-Type. We sat there with the pre-stage lights on for a loooong time! :joint:

I broke the stage beams first, and went on to lose! :sleep:
