11/20/07 - America, Meet the Skyline
Basically, it's
the OEM version of SEMA, the Skyline is making its North
American debut this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and a
few of our guys were able to make it over! Other notable
"guests" are the limited production Lamborghini Reventón,
the EvoX + STi and a line of cars by the infamous Sypker.
Every major car manufacturer will be there showing off their
2008 lineup of cars plus future concepts. Be sure to check
out the blog from the guys that went and the photo gallery!

11/14/07 - Only if She's Special Enough
When most people
come to us for work, they're usually shown the door if
they're not bringing in an Evo or DSM. However, every once
in a while we'll be presented with a project that's just TOO
amazing to turn down. Introducing: The Tire Outlet Store,
their Lexus IS and TOM'S SUPERCHARGER KIT straight from
Japan... you can't get more JDM then that. For those of you
unfamiliar, TOM'S is like Luis Vuitton and there are only
two of this kit currently in the world. We've got one of
them in our hands!

11/08/07 - And the Horses Keep Flowing
A little late on
breaking the news, but one of our long-time customers, Luis
Flores, broke 560whp on our Mustang Dyno!!! Keep in mind,
that's approximately 644whp on a Dynojet! This is an
absolutely amazing accomplishment displaying the power
potential of the 4g64/3 hybrid 2.4L motors. For more on
Luis's car, check out his customer car page! (link)
11/04/07 - The Amazing-ness that is SEMA
Where else do
3000+ industry gear heads gather together to attend a show
worth over 200 million bucks? People always talk about how
big it is and yes, they're right... it's HUGE. In fact, it's
the single largest event in Vegas every calendar year --
that's saying something! Check out our amusing experience
with SEMA 2007 in our latest blog. Vegas baby! (link)
10/30/07 - Firestone to the Rescue
A special thanks
to Otto at Firestone Tires in Santa Monica, CA for helping
two of our staff members get to SEMA on time after an
unexpected tire failure! We were given fast service and
above and beyond customer care -- a rarity amongst many big
chains. Thanks again!
10/06/07 - An Engineering Success!
Our FFTec white evo has been the awe of many since it's
completion a few weeks ago. Not only did it run an 11.6 at
CMI on its FIRST RUN EVER, it's also a beauty to look at. On
top of that we earned 3rd place for "Best Engineered" at the
JDM Theory car show this weekend in San Jose!
Don't worry,
we'll make a "customer car" page even though its not really
a "customer."

- Straight to the Finish Line
The annual CMI drag competition was last weekend at
Sacramento Raceway! After over a week of hard work and
preparation, we are very proud of our sponsored and customer
cars that attended the event. We had some of the quickest
cars there -- many of which are capable of going even faster
in the future!
A special congratulations to Dave Womer and his 1g DSM for
placing 2nd in the T4 class!
08/01/07 - No Dirty Air Allowed
Full Function is now building a room for it's dyno. The
rooms air will be completely exchanged every 30 seconds! No
more recycling exhaust fumes back into the engine while dyno
tuning! This provides us with true real world tuning
conditions, which in turn provides our customers with the
most realistic and reliable dyno tune possible.
02/15/07 - Our Evo got Snowed In...
Methanol injection has been around and used for ages. Few
have made it as convenient or easy to use as Snow
Performance though. There is little argument the impact they
have made on the technology and market as a whole. Sure its
not the most advanced or by any means the greatest there is
but damn it couldn't be easier to install.
All we have to say is gains gains gains gains gains. Check
our the results for yourself! (link)
02/07/07 - Surprise Surprise... Yet Another One
You know how the story goes. Guy comes in with a GSX with
some pretty standard bolt-ons. He then points to a magazine
and says he wants "that." Then we go... "Oh! Okay!"
Fast forward: 517awhp, 459tq. Here she is -- (link)
02/16/07 - Do Little, Gain ALOT
We installed an APS turbo manifold and U-pipe with and
Invidia turbo-back exhaust installed on a 2004 Subaru STi
hoping for a little more power and response! Instead, we
gained an amazing 48awhp and 61awtq on our Mustang dyno!
That's nearly 60whp on a Dynojet.
12/20/06 - Another two Join the Team!
If you look at our manufacturers list, you'd probably
recognize it's a tad bit shorter than most others. That's
because we will only support manufactures with whom their
products we have personally test and used on our customer
cars. Power Enterprise and Forced Performance have done
wonders for a number of cars we have worked on. Welcome to
the team!
12/08/06 - S-AFC... yes? no?
There comes a point in every car enthusiast's life where he
must make a decision. He's reached a point where all the
bolt-ons are in so he's thinking "What techy device should I
use to control it all?" The choices are tough... ECUFlash?
DSMLink? AEM EMS?... S-AFC?
We'll help you with the deduction process. Here it is: "STAY
AWAY FROM S-AFC." Here it is again: "STAY AWAY FROM S-AFC."
One last time: "STAY AWAY FROM S-AFC."
