    I'm in Houston but come to Dallas often (from Waxahachie originally) to visit and take care of some other cars for folks. Would be glad to talk with you about your performance goals and see if I can help. Give me a shout at your convenience.

    Hi Ruben, I will try to get you in touch with someone local who has experience modifying the TTA's in DFW. We have a couple of club members who might be able to point you in the right direction concerning the issues that are specific to your model.

    I am not surprised; Jack's skills are in high demand and he works on everything from GN's to Ferrari's and Rolls Royces.

    That's awesome I really need to take the car to someone that familiar with these engines and from what I hear he's highly recommended..but for them moment I need to take car of some basic stuff before I take it to him like the fuel pump, hot wire kit, adjustable FP regulator, and valve springs,, I hear the vale springs on my car is going to be a bitch..I went ahead and ordered the comp cam 980

    Fp will be a real pita as well unless you want to cut a hole through the body behind the rear axle to make a trap door. If ever sold a real collector will pull the carpet up to check. Don't know about the valve spring haven't done that. Since the tta doesn't have shaft mounted rockers it would be harder than on a Gn but no harder than any other car I wouldn't think. Welcome to the tta world.

    Billy's shop is right next door to a buddy of mine's construction business, and is not 5 miles from me...that said, I still haul my cars 80 miles to the east side of Dallas to be worked on unless its a part I can take off because my car is always kept inside in a very clean shop and is not left there very long, like no more than a week.
