Dear Doug, Steve and Paul,
 
Thanks for custom building my 383-475 stroker engine, and assisting me in picking out my Art Carr 350 transmission, my 3000 stall converter and March Performance serpentine belt system.
Everyone in California thought I was crazy for purchasing a custom built engine from the east coast. To be honest, I even had doubts at times myself. Then, Doug, Steve and Paul e-mailed me a video of my engine running. When I heard that baby run I knew I had done the right thing. Before I knew it my new engine was shipped. The day it arrived was like Christmas. The next thing I knew, that engine was in my 64 Chevelle (O BOY)! The first time I started it up, my wife (Lorrie) looked at me and she said she has never seen a smile on my face like that before.
 
As for all my friends in California, well they all want to go for a spin. (Go Figure). My wife is now happy because she says; I’m finely out of her kitchen and back in my garage where I belong! 
Thanks again Proformance Unlimited for my own personal dragster.

Dear Doug, and Steve,
 
Just wanted to drop you a letter to let you know how much I am enjoying my car after all the hard work you guys did. Not only does the engine sound great but also performs like a champ. I have more power than I feel safe using.
 
I have to admit I was a little nervous when the tow truck came to pick up my 1968 Dodge Polara back in January. I only knew your company through what I read and saw on your web site. I was pleasantly surprised when you called to let me know that my car had arrived safely and you did a thorough inspection to make sure that no body or paint damage occurred during transit.
 
As you know, I kept adding more and more work to be done to the car. First it was the engine rebuild, then the drum to disk brake conversion, then the new gas tank and sending unit, then the headers, then the leaf springs, New rear drums and rotors, and finally stall converter and high performance transmission. You handled all my projects with enthusiasm and professionalism. When my son and I came down to New Jersey To "visit" my car, you were fantastic. You gave us the full tour of the shop, showed us my engine and what work was already completed. You guys dropped everything and treated us like "VIP"s.
 
Thank you so much for your help in meeting and exceeding my expectations for my car. I highly recommend you to people I meet at Mopar Clubs and shows. Keep up the great work and I will see soon when I bring in my Z28 for work.
 
Sincerely,
Dr. Timothy Rohrs

Hey Guys,
 
How Have You Been?  Sorry it has taken so long to contact you but, I wanted to have some solid numbers on the stroker motor I purchased from you last year. Still haven't made it to the dyno or the track but I can tell you this motor is awesome. I Have finally nailed down the timing and built a killer carb and can no longer get the rear wheels of my 86 Z28 to hook up. Even with all the modifications to the rear suspension and 10.5" wide drag radial the tires break loose in the first three gears of the 700r4. Waiting on my adjustable Torque arm, which should make me hook. I will contact you again when I have some numbers on the car or the motor. Either way, I just want to thank you for building such an awesome motor. This Kind Of Quality Craftsmanship, And honesty are hard to find. I'm glad I took the chance and placed my trust in you guys.
 
Thank You,
Ron Maxwell

Hey guys,
 
I just wanted to thank you for everything you guys did for me and building me my motor. I really appreciate how honest you guys were throughout the whole process too. My dad and I finally got it all hooked up in my 72 Nova and the car runs like a beast! People around my neighborhood used to look at the car as a disgrace, and after all the hard work my dad and I put into it and with the help of you guys it's finally running and looking good. In return I posted many pictures of the engine and my car on the website I have it on called "car domain". I also put your link in my profile so people will know of your guys great work. I hope it helps bring you guys more business. You can check out the car on this site. Thanks Again and let me know what you guys think.

Just wanted to let you know that the engine is in the Camaro. I started it up and am very impressed! It was rush to hear it run .I let it Idle for thirty five min. Now and then I INCREASE THE RPM TWO 2000,THEN 2400 ,never hit it hard, Though it was like a horse wanting to go! Hope to get it on the road very soon. The throttle response is awesome. The temp, never got above180* I enclosed a few pic's let me know what you think.

Hey guys this is Derek Hagner I bought a 383 Stroker (Edelbrock special) one of ten in Dec. of 03 and I'm extremely happy with it. You guys did a great job a matter of fact you have it posted under your Chevy performance category, it's the one with the yellow block under main heading. Anyways I wanted to say thanks for everything, but I have a question. The engine sets in a 67 Camaro with a TH 400, 3000 stall, 1 7/8 super comp headers with 390 gearing and I'm in the 6000 to 6500 rpms and not even down the 1/8 mile, how far can I safely rev this combo?

Hello Steve,
 
Well, it has been a couple months since we last communicated.  Just wanted you to know, I have the 347 Stroker Motor in my 69 Mustang now.  The exhaust was completed today and I was able to run the motor and hear the awesome sound of your Pro-formance Unlimited Engine.  Let me tell you... it sounds GREAT!!!!  I am still working on completing the body and paint and hopefully will have it out on the road in the next couple months.  Here are a couple pictures one of the car before I started on it and one of the motor in the engine compartment. 
 
Thanks again for a great engine!

PS. Used a 2 1/2" exhaust with Flow master 40's out the back of the car. Nice rumble and load when you get on it!
