  • Motorcity speed

    I'm finally getting my 98 z28 tuned next week and I picked motorcity speed and I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything good/bad about them.

        Although I have really not heard anything in regards to Motorcity Speed since they have opened, I have dealt with Rich before. I am sort of shocked how Motorcity Speed really does not browse or sponsor the forums and really have not heard much at all from them since they've started up but I do know the people there are all very good with a great reputation so I personally would have no problem going there. Rich tuned my car a couple years ago, turbo LS1 and he was very thorough and did a great job although kept everything very conservative which is understandable. Also when I was in the area I called him and he had me stop by and grabbed his laptop and he hopped in for a ride. We logged while we drove around and he had me hop on the highway and make some pulls, very cool guy! He had no problem with me hauling ass to get some good logs down which I thought was pretty awesome, very cool guy!

          Rich Gala is the tuner, he used to work at Wheel 2 Wheel before they closed down. I've heard nothing but good things about them, Kurt Urban is also a super knowledgeable guy they should treat you right.

            I didn't think Kurt moved with Motorcity Speed, Billy Briggs did though. I could be wrong.

                Last I heard they were making 4 cylinder motors for John Powell of Powell race shop.
                Does anyone know if they ever finished the 4 cylinder nova?
