Whoever bought the anti-chafe underwear has clearly seen me walk after a hot day in the shop. 😂 Thanks for the Vans, the freedom shorts, the dad jokes, and keeping my thighs patriotic. Love you guys! ❤️🇺🇸 Theresa Gilligan

Crazy to think 20 years ago I was paying Gio $20 a day to sweep the shop. Now he’s got his own place at Bortoli Racing and still keeps Daft Tuning alive by sending me tunes. Some things never change… except now he charges a lot more than $20 to tell everyone how good he is. 😂🍻

Bro went full EV, couldn’t handle the silence… and came back to boost therapy 😈

Sold his C7 Z06 ➝ bought a Tesla Plaid ➝ missed the LT4 life so bad he bought another C7Z.
Car runs like an absolute champ now 🔥

1968 Camaro Z28 | Weaver Racing Chassis | LS3 + T56

Stock LS3 setup, but the car came in with a few issues holding it back.
– Cheap Chinese MAF sensor
– Incorrect MAF pinout
– Cooling fans not turning on (possible bad relay)

We replaced the MAF with a genuine Hitachi (Japan) unit and corrected the wiring. Instantly, the car ran exactly how it should. For now, we temporarily wired the fans so the customer could safely drive it home.

Shoutout to for handling a full nut & bolt check, brakes, and additional safety items.

The wild part?
The customer hasn’t driven this car in 13 years.
After the fixes, he drove it from Modesto to Alameda with zero issues.

That’s what we love to see. 💪🔥

My 1993 Chevrolet Obs crew cab I purchased to replace my 2009 Duramax. It’s not the cleanest example and was slightly impatient looking for one due the fact most are an arm and a leg to purchase. It came with a 454 with an old whipple smog legal supercharger, 4l80 with gear vendor and a 5th wheel hitch. Truck was a straight up stump puller.

Let’s just say this truck ended up leaking for everything. Engine oil, coolant lines, oil cooler lines, transmission , gear vendor , hydro boost leaked as well. Front brakes were on borrowed time. After getting sick and tired of not wanting to park this thing in my own driveway I decided to sell the old engine and swap in a new power plant.
