First of all thatnks to all who came out even though the weather didn’t cooperate, It was cool to hang out with you all!!!

It was cool to see the Nissan guys come out in a group of 20 or so!!! those are some sick cars!

We didn’t have as many supras and Muscle cars as I expected, but I understand… the weather man wasn’t very promising with his outlook for Saturday. It turned out to be pretty good.

We had a wide range of dyno #’s form the high 100’s to 700 HP!!!

I ordered 35 Pizza’s and I am pretty sure they were gone in about 10 min…. But with 200 people in attendance, I didn’t think they would last long. Thanks to the Chi racing culture guys for hooking us up with Chicken and grape Juice (It was suppose to be GRAPE DRINK!!!) but either way it was good!!!

I do plan on having a few more events here at the shop through out the summer, so keep checking the site for info!!!

Well guys the SP open house is FAST aproching!!! It is Saturday April 25th!!!!!

I have been getting tons of responses from car clubs that will be bringing cars down to the event. I have supras, 350 Z’s, A r32,33,34,and the new r35 Nissan Skylines. The Domestic Crowd is coming out as well with Some of the Fastest cars in chicago!!! Better yet the weather looks to be perfect on Saturday!
I called our friends over a O’hare Towing and recovery to come down with one of their new trucks and Possibly a film crew for their TV show on Speed call wrecked. So make sure you come on down and hang out with us at SOUND PERFORMANCE!!!!

Well, it’s finally springtime here in Chicago and opening day of Byron Dragway was this past Saturday. Our 350z has been done for a couple weeks and we’ve been awaiting some nice weather and the opening! We headed to the track and after a delayed opening we started to make some base boost runs. Since we were on our new version of the RPS Carbon Carbon clutch, and new SPL suspension we figured a couple base runs would help me get a feel for it.

First couple passes the track wasn’t hooking at all and I bogged a bit on them, clutch is more grabby so I just have to get used to slipping it. After a few passes and getting used to the clutch we ended up turning the boost up a bit and it resulted in a couple mid 9 second passes.  Here are some pics courtesy of “Panda” from www.thechicagogarage.org (Thanks)
