Speedtec in DFW?

I go to dfw at least 3 times a year for the ladies family. THis last time there I went to a speed shop named speedtec. Needed to know if any of the guys on here had any work done by them. I am looking into gettin electric fans,cam, throttle body, a good bit of trans work and on down the line a s/c. Aside from having extremely high prices and not wantin to just reset my speedometer for less than 400 which was a good bit more than steep they seem like a decent shop. Any comments? problems? or better shops names?

when you come to town you need to check out a place called gear heads. Much better group of guys. The owners name is Travis Franklin. they are located in Arilington their number is 817-465-GEAR.

well i have had a chance to talk to the guy and he knows he stuff but, he said when he installs a cam and tunes it he pretty much does the bare minimum. if your over this way then one of us ft. worth guys could prolly help you out on the tune portion if you get a w/b. or atleast i would.

yeah there are several guys here in the DFW area that i am sure would help you with a live tune... Dale or Virg would help if you asked and they are available...

yeah im not big on Speedtek...i would find another shop to do the work...or just ask for some help on here and learn some stuff when we help ya install them

I am tryin to learn as fast as i can. How much does dale and virgil charge for the live tune? imma call gear heads in a second and see how much all the same stuff i got quoted from speedtec will be. My big thing is trying to work out days i am off and time to go to ft worth. Trying for around july 20. if my mill isnt on its outage

Gearheads does mainly Ford Mustangs....my friend owns the shop...BTW i am Virgil and Dale is Cowl327...

just make a post seeing if any of the guys on here would help ya install your stuff...all you would have to do is bring your stuff to one of our houses and we could go to town on it

Who do i need to order the parts from then. how long you think it would take to install fans,cam, tb (if i can find one thats good enough) and live tune it? and how much would you charge? and any other parts i need to look into when im at it?

it would take a day to install the fans and cam and valve springs....

for the cam you need to buy cam....7.4 hardened pushrods...and valve springs

fans are up to you...danny (sprayed 99) sells a really nice set for around $500...

TB is a waste of money IMO but thats just me...

pm me on a tune price

You should check out TRT they do really good work and wont break the bank either, they are also members on here so you can find out what parts,prices and how long it will take an all that from them off the site here, but they're a good group a guys and do good work you should check'em out.

TRT is no longer in business.

Dustin still has the shop and the name is still TRT. They are at the far end/backside of the same building they were in before. He's just scaled down the business a bit to make it more managable.

Billy said today it's closing down. There's no more TRT.

Oh hell. That's a shame.

TRT closed down last week, And I wouldn't go there anyway, Speedtek is okay but they arn't too great with lsx based cars and they are WAY over priced. Gearheads does all mustangs, I would go to Simple Quick Racing in Ft worth, or RPM in lewisville. Both do good work. I do trans work if you need a tranny built.

virg you know travis franklin? cool, he is a great guy... i met him about 4 years ago running outlaw 10.5 with my buddy...

yeah he is a good guy...i know Chris is how i met him..they are all Ford owners though lol

sacrilige! That's like letting HPP work on a GM vehicle! :laugh:
