oh hey right on! my dad actually parks his longhaul truck in the parking lot in front of there shop.
i always wondered what kind of work they do because i have never seen a dmax sittin out front, nothing but dodges and fords with half torn apart motors but if you had good luck with them with no issues then that's good to hear!

Welcome fellow Oregonian, as far as stats do you mean the signature? if that's the case go to User CP, scroll down the left side to settings & options and click "Signature". if that does not appear then you have not yet confirmed your email to join the forum.

Perfromance Authority is a very good shop. They will treat you fair. They send out their trannies to Mike L to rebuild as they don't rebuild trannies anymore. They also built the 1000 hp engine in my race truck. Built it in 2010 and has been going strong ever sense. I don't run it on the big tunes very often anymore, it's a killer in the 11.90 if the driver is good.
