They bent my buddies underbody on his 04 mustang when they jacked it up. Probably the same idjit(s)...

I thought larger bore=more cubic inches. I didn't say a thing about horsepower. If you got a head with a larger bore, and thus, larger pistons, different rods, etc., then you would have more cubic inches. The point I was trying to make is that the whole procedure isn't worth it. Better to buy one that's already remanufactured.
Right.. i was told to change just the heads and leaving everything else alone to get a 427. i called BS on them..
now i would dissagree on boaring vs replacing whole motor. now doing a normal stroker motor will be cheeper than buying a crate motor.. a 383 or a 400 is a relatively cheep way for cubic inches.
you dont have to change/boar anything but the block to stroke the motor

A lady here ay my work took her new car to D and G to get windows tinted.
She returned with it after several hours to find that they have trimmed the factory rubber weather-strip away from the inside glass surface, so it would clear the tint. She took it back, complained, they told her they would handle it. They returned it later that day with a piece of self-stick foam weather seal like you'd pick up from Ture Value.
She complained again and they finally had to order the replacement factory weather-seal. Not sure if they fixed it themselves or had to take it to the dealer, but she finally got things squared away.
I wouldn't let D and G install a dome light in my ride....
I've tinted the windows on at least a dozen of my own cars. Never cut any weather-stripping and never had it peel. All that you have to keep in mind is to not open the windows for a few days so that the film has time to fully adhere to the glass.
It certainly isn't as difficult (or worth the expense) that the custom shops like to make it seem. Go to Trick Trucks and get the things you need and give it a few trys. You'll screw up once or twice, but you won't have more than twenty or thirty bucks into the job...

I think what twolfe was trying to say was the "experts" told him just a head change would increase the cubes and that told him he was dealing with extreme inexperience. His explanation, except for spelling, was very good for punching out a small block.renegadeslave said:

We've had work done at Trick Trucks. They suck.
We had out windows tinted at D & G, they did a great job.

Just sitting here at work talking about this thread, one of my co-workers told me she went there some time ago to get an oil change. Here is what happened. After she picked up the truck, headed home, got to the next traffic light saw there was NO oil pressure, pulled over called Extreme they said come back. Well she got to the parking lot and they checked the engine only to find they forgot to fill the engine with oil. You NEVER run an engine without oil!!! They should have come to her to prevent any more damage to the engine. Just one of many reasons I do ALL my own work.

FYI I just found out a couple weeks ago that Xtreme's Tire balancer was "out of balance" earlier this year. Not sure about the exact dates but probably between February to April. So if you got your tires done by them between those dates and they are out of balance read on....
I've been driving on tires that I bought from them since back in February and they have been slighly out of balance at higher speeds (not much but enough to be annoying)
Apparantly the little hand tightened wing nut thingy that holds the wheel to the spin mounting surface had part of its handle broken off, which threw off the balancer reading.
I called a couple weeks back when I found out about this (I still had the receipt) and the person that spoke to me said that he would rebalance them...but since I had waited so long to call (I didnt I called two weeks after they mounted them to say there where out of whack but they wanted to charge me) that I had to pay. Granted it was a good price at 20 bucks for all four. But I didnt want them to touch my car again. I just wanted to see what they would do for me really.
Wound up taking it to the hobby shop on base and them balance the tires for the same price. No more vibration in steering wheel now...
