whats street performance?

It was a father and son shop that worked on the TRs. Started out in Park Ridge working out of his garage and moved to a shop in Elk Grove Village Street Performance was the name. The father (Gary "Oz" Oswald) had some health issues and wasnt up to the wrenching anymore and the son landed a good job in his field of study. He also started a family. No more time to run a shop that catered to Turbo Buicks the way they needed to be. So they closed the shop.

As with any performance shop, some people loved them some hated them. I spent a lot of time there and saw the of the stupid things people would want, do, or expect out of the cars. I also saw TRs that ran hard with simple combos.
I learn a vast amout from them,

If your looking to drop the car off somewhere and have all the work done, expect to drop some coin. No way around it.

Your really better off finding a car already built for your goals or close to it. Then you could get together with one of the many local members and learn the ropes.
