Vaca Performance in Downey, Ca

Don't know if you guys knew this or not but This fairly new shop in Downey, Ca is pretty awesome. Vaca Performance and Dyno. They are your shop if you are in need of an oil change or 1200 horses. They do alot, Tuning, engine, building, dyno days, engine swaps, and repairs to any other part of your vehicle. Did I mention this is my cousin's shop? well go in there and ask for Mike (the owner) and tell em Robert Ruiz Sent you

Re: Vaca Performance in Downey, Ca

do you have a dyno so that you can make the chips up when the car is running?
how much for a chip? i may need a couple. one for getting smog and regular driving and one for running with as much hp as possible.

Re: Vaca Performance in Downey, Ca

No we dont have our own dyno but we make time at a local dyno and have dyno days for everyone, every few months.

With my programming I make one chip that passes emissions and gives you the most horsepower at the same time. Email or PM me for the details.

Re: Vaca Performance in Downey, Ca

thanks for the info kevin. when i finally quit buying parts and decide to put them all together will definitely need your services.
so far i have the tpi, cam, springs, heads, exhaust - ok only part of the exhaust, soon its tear down and clean up and rebuild time. will definitely need a chip.
