Proformance Unlimited: I have worked with several other builders in the past and found that the knowledge and quality of workmanship that Proformance has will be my only choice for future builds. It was well worth traveling from upstate NY to meet and work with the staff. There is nothing else that compares to you. Jeff Kalinowski, NY Doug and Steve, It has been a while and I want to give you a report on the 347 you built for us. In the past two years we have entered our truck in desert races, rock races (drag racing over rocks), rockcrawls, and rally style hill climbs. We haven’t talked much because there have been absolutely no problems with the engine. We have tortured this thing occasionally running at angles that don’t give oil pressure. We have run it in hill climbs until it revs out reaching temperatures that I care to forget! We have raced and beat others running LS2’s. We have rockcrawled and beat competitors running $25,000 Volkswagen motors. We have smashed the oil pan on rocks and dropped the whole truck off a 12 foot wall. After more than 20 races, all I have done is change the oil! I just wanted to say thanks as I make my living through racing and depend on the engine you guys built. We have won 9 races with this 347. You guys must have something figured out. Rest assured you will be on the top of the list for future trucks. Thanks, ![]() Brad Lovell Torchmate Racing 1764 Fuller Road Colorado Springs, CO 80920 719.649.7494 cell 719.475.0555 fax I purchased a 383 stroker with 450 horse last year from you. Just wanted to let you know it is running awesome. The motor really likes the combo, and the combo fit under my stock hood. The engine is hooked up to a tci hipo turbo 350 and moser 12 bolt. The car has 8600 original miles, still kept all the stock parts. Thanks again. Jim Griffith Magnolia NJ
Here are some of the pictures of a 1940 Chevy 2 Door Sedan with the 350/375 HP engine I got from ya'll several months ago. The engine is great and all I expected. Still have some work on the car and going to take awhile. Thanks Regards Jeff DiMauro Jonesville, La.
![]() This is Lenny everything is still running strong imagin that like we would expect anything less. The motor is still AWESOME I thought I would send you another photo of my Camaro to post on your customer car photos page if you want if not that's cool. Be good and I will talk to you soon about the 65 Merc 289 I need you to do for me. Lenny ![]() Kim, I just wanted to let you all know that I got my engine yesterday and words can't express what a great looking engine the guys at your business built for me. This has been a dream of mine for forty years. I got all my boys raised and it's my time now!!!! I won't have this car done for about a year but hopefully I won't wear out the CD playing it over and over (I will make copies). Tell everyone there thanks for me and I will be more than willing to spread the word out here in the Northwest of the great and professional work you all do. The layaway plan sure helps us people get there dream engine....Tim Remington Steve: Factory Five Cobra is up and running. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your engine. It started the first time and ever time hence. It is everything I expected and more! At 2500 RPM in 2d or 3d gear it feels like the car just got a kick in the ass- really breathtaking acceleration for a 300hp engine. I would recommend your engines to anyone who would listen- they're that good. Thanks again for a great product and super service. Rick Nordling Doug, Steve and the Pro-Formance Unlimited Team -- Just a short note here to let you all know how pleased I am with my 302-380 HP custom engine by Pro-Formance Unlimited. The engine runs great and is every bit of product you advertised it would be!! Quite the improvement over the original 289. The quality of parts and workmanship are evident in the resulting performance. I can rev it up to 5500 and drop it to idle with no hesitation. It's great to have that confidence of knowing that what's under the hood will be there when I need it (or just "want it"). It was a pleasure dealing with Pro-Formance Unlimited from Kim at the front desk, to Steve in getting my sales order spot-on (yes, he did a great job in translating my non-technical specs to an engine configuration that met my needs) and to Doug who I watched build my engine via the shop-cam and starred in the delivery video. Thanks again guys (and gals). I'll definitely recommend Pro-Formance Unlimited to anyone seeking a custom engine build. Scott in Maryland
![]() Kim, The engine arrived today, and it is friggin' awesome. I cannot tell you how happy I am with it. I can't wait to get it in my car. I'm so stoked about this engine. The quality and workmanship is evident, I'm just blown away. The wait was well worth it. We will start putting it in this weekend, send ya some pics when we are done. The run video was awesome. Thanks to all Richard Neighbors ![]() Here are some pictures of my car and engine compartment. I bought the 461 Pontiac stroker 475 H.P. and you were right, this engine is just what this car needed, awesome power, sound and looks. The engine has a big lumpy idle ( which is what I really wanted ) and sounds really good thru my exhaust system. I also have the 3" electric dumps, talk about a nice sound, believe me I get everybody's attention, what an awesome motor. Thanks so much Paulie for doing such a great job building my motor, it looks and sounds fantastic . I will recommend your company to all. Thanks again & again Greg Bartlett
I have attached a photo of my 1967 Camaro SS 350cu in 375hp motor built by the boys at Proformance Unlimited. Post it please because I am proud of the build and especially the horsepower the boys built. Thanks Lenny
![]() VMF Forums 05-15-09 07:45 PM - Post#2073698 In response to 1965FastBack I bought the 418W/500hp stroker, it is a BEAST. I made the drive from central NH to pick it up and the experience was memorable. These guys are impressive, as is the shop, there were motors everywhere awaiting pickup and shipping. Paid half up front and half upon completion. The motor was completed on time for the agreed upon price. Two thumbs up!
![]() Hi Kim, I can't help myself. I know I've already expressed my feelings on how happy I am with the 350/350HP Chevy power plant I purchased from your company. Truth be tooled, I've built a few hot rods over the years and have never ventured to far from home with any of them. Note: I recently decided to drive my newly finished truck from St. Mary's Ga. located just north of Jacksonville, Fl. To Rochester New York. I decided to do this for a reason. In 1983 I joined the Navy and bought this truck from the dealership my father worked at. My wife and I drove away from our Wedding reception in this truck in 1989 and needless to say it has a lot of history. My late Wife and Father have since gone, and I decided to make this trip with my old Toy - with them in mind I've got to tell you! I felt like a kid again traveling with no A/C , no tunes and just the sound of duel exhaust. I had so much fun watching heads turn traveling up I-95 and through the mountains of N. Carolina, W. Virginia and Pennsylvania and New York and then back home. This trip was planned only due to the sustained performance of your outstanding power plant. It ran better than my 2007 Tundra and I averaged 12 miles per gal with 529 gears on 40 inch tires. At one point I drove for 17 hours straight only stopping for Gas! Your motor has never skipped a beat since the first time the key was turned. Thanks R/, Dave Powell |

Hi Kimberly: The engine arrived Tuesday at CPH Airport. The engine looks fantastic, it is a pleasure to see work done by people who know what they are dealing with. P.S. Looking forward to see the new location that you are setting up. Regards.....Jens Christensen, Denmark My name is Clint Booth I purchased a 383-500 hp stroker. My 79 z28 had a 383, but the engine that ya'll built for me absolutely blows the old one out of the water. There is no comparison! I am more than pleased. Big thanks to everyone at Proformance Unlimited! You guys do amazing work!! I look forward to doing more business with you in the future! P. S. I have attached some photos, and I plan to have a burnout clip your collection soon Thanks again!!
Dear Doug; I would like to extend my personal thanks to you for the outstanding job you did in supplying me with an engine for my 57 Chevy. Your entire staff handled the job in under a week, and with the ultimate level of professionalism. Next time you witness someone mixing up strange cocktails in bars, take some Brioschi, and realize its probably another candid camera moment. Thanks again. Michael A. Brizzolara President of Brioschi Hey Guys, It's taken me a while to get back to you but take a look at my finished project. Engine runs strong and sounds great!!! Hats off to you for a great engine build. Hope you have a prosperous 2009 with more business than you can keep up with. 1973 Corvette Coupe, Body-off Restoration Engine: Proformance Unlimited 350/400hp Transmission: Tremec TKO-600, 5-speed Sincerely, Ron Walker, Bossier City, Louisiana
Paul, I purchased a 383 stroker, 475 hp and I am so pleased at the performance. After sitting on the a tubbed TCI frame for a year it took only one crank to fire it up. A slight adjustment on one of the four barrels and it was off and running. Attached are some pictures of the finished product and now you can see how pleased I am. Feel free to use these pictures as you wish. With a Tremec five speed behind this engine it is a thrill to step on the pedal. Thanks for all of the support you have given me in the past. Bill Houlihan
Hi my name is Paul Young I ordered the 450 horse 383 Stroker SBC while I was on leave from Iraq. I was given a 1986 Monte Carlo that has been in my family since it was new. I just got home and installed the motor this month. It looks great and sounds amazing, it fired right up. Without a doubt Pro-formance Unlimited makes the best engines around, truly amazing! I hope to send some more updates and pictures to you as I get it ready for the 1/4 mile, it's a work in progress. -Paul Young
Doug, Paul and Steve, I would like to thank you all for the outstanding motor that you built for me. It's been a year since I received your engine. I finely installed the engine and I couldn't be more pleased. There's nothing like a small block Chevy in a old Toyota 4x4. My 84 Toy is an Animal.........The engine is more than I expected out of a 350/350hp power plant. Man what a beast! With the 529 gears and Detroit lockers she can light up all four tires with no effort. The turn key 350/350hp Chevy engine was the best choice I could have made. Anyone planning on making a V8 swap this is the way to go! The power to weight distribution is perfect for reliable high performance off road use. I highly recommend your company to everyone I talk to. Thanks to all at Pro-Formance Unlimited you are the Crate Engine Experts! V/r, David Powell St. Mary's, Ga.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hello Steve.... It's Domnic Kelly from Ireland. I'm sorry it took a while but as promised here is a few pics of my pride and joy with your block in it. It turned out very well in the end. I am very happy with the engine and all seems to be going great. Ever since, I have picked up plenty of awards and prizes. The engine has finished it of for me. I hope you like the pics. Thanking you again for all your help Yours Domnic kelly Ireland

I own one of your SBC 383 475hp engines and love it. Two words only......B-A-D A-S-S I can't say enough about how pleased I am with my '71 Z28 Camaro with your power plant in her. Thanks again guys, RJ Nestor Melbourne, FL Hi: I would like to thank you at Pro-Formance Unlimited for the 418w stroker that now has arrived. It looks great and I'm really looking forward to getting the car in shape to install the engine. The video was really cool, and that sound from the engine....amazing! I'm sorry to inform you I don't have any good pictures to send you at the moment, since the car is a restoration project. I would definitely recommend you to others. Regards Frank Nilsson Hey Guys, Hope everyone is still getting the engines they want. I have been running my '75 Pontiac TA with your 468/550 HP now for 2 years and what a blast! I am still having fun every weekend or whenever I get the chance. I still check your website to see any new videos you have out and it looks like you are still doing well so that is a great testament. I am just starting to build a '73 Camaro and am still trying to figure out small block versus big block so I may be contacting you soon. Anyway, thanks again for the Pontiac engine. You guys are the best. Regards, Alan Long Browns Valley CA Hey Guys, It took me a little while to get around to it but I finally got my 350/440 horse motor in my '71 Vega. It sounds and runs great. Thanks for everything. When I get a chance I'll send you a burnout video. With the power the motor makes it doesn't take much to smoke off those 31/18 Mickey's. Thanks again, Steve
![]() Hey guys this is where the engine you built me ended up, it made a real nice marriage and a lot of guys are asking where I got that superb engine. And I was wondering if the decal you stuck on the valve covers if you had big ones like that I'd love one in the rear window. Serge |

Hello Proformance Team,
Thanks a lot for this fine engine. Its arrived just at my 40th Birthday. What a surprise! It looks great! But now there is a lot of work, until my Charger Project is finish. Greetings from Switzerland Andy Oehler
Hello Kim, I'm Keith I bought my 418 about 2 years ago, it has been great, now has 2000 miles on it and 2 sets of rear tires. Very drive-able and the A/C is super cold. It is now backed by a special built AOD transmission and with 4.11 rear gears, it will cruise at 70 MPH at 2200 rpm. I specialize in burnouts and donuts, I will send another video soon, its time for the 3rd set of rear tires so I will burn these off on film. My first video is posted here http://s115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/cathynkeith/ Thanks Keith
On the '57 Chevy, it was 98 degrees outside when I drove the Chevy 120 miles to the Super Chevy show. The temperature NEVER climbed above 160. Idled for an hour in car show traffic in another show and never cleared 165-170. I NEVER felt like the motor would let me down. People are standing in the isles to see/hear this motor. They are walking in front of me to take my (the cars) picture because they hear me coming. I DON'T PULL IN UNNOTICED. I drive this car weekly and the response is great. Looking forward to the next project. By the way, its been 15 months since the Bel Air was done and I drive it weekly (in good weather). I have not reached for a quart of oil yet (aside from normal changes). This motor solved my "old Chevy woes". No more worrying about leaking on my dad's driveway. Thanks for everything. Tom Lucid Warren, NJ tklucid@optonline.net
Doug and Steve, Finally I have some pictures to send you. This is my 73 Mustang convertible after a 2 year restoration with my 420 hp Pro-Formance Unlimited motor. It runs like a top. I only have about 500 miles on it so I am still light on the pedal but so far so good. It sounds good and response is great! I turn a lot of heads. I only wish I would have taken more time on design, maybe more chrome, etc. I have more projects in mind so I'm already thinking of my next motor from you. I hope you post the pictures on your web site. Thanks again! Scott Wilson Saginaw, MI

Hey guys. This is Lenny out here in North Carolina. I know its been a while since we spoke but I wanted to say the motor kicks ASS. I drove the car to Wilmington, NC which is about 140 miles to a place called National Speed and put the car on the Dyno for a complete tune. I have photos on my website the car blew out the damn observation window. I wish I could say it was because of the wicked power of the motor, but it was a stone. In any case, it was funny. The motor is a power house and I appreciate the assist with getting it to me during the installation process. Believe it or not, I just finally got 500 miles on the thing and I plan on getting about 1000 on it then back to the Dyno for a full blown tune on it and data. Again, you guys are the freaking heat I tell everyone about you when they ask about the motor. Thanks again and have a great 4th. Lenny from North Carolina

Doug, Steve, Paul; Can't thank you all enough for helping get the 69 vette on the road....Both my brother and I, who built this car from scratch, found your helpfulness and expertise goes far beyond just building an engine. After your final custom tuning today, the ride home was pure pleasure. As a side note, your contacts and working relationships with other experts such as Sparky help us solve problems that baffled others. Keep up the great work and we will continue to spread the word.. Best regards Dave Hammond President/CEO DLH,Inc.

And they said
it couldn't be done. This beast you
built for me is a genuine ground pounder.
Every show I go to lots of people ask about
this motor. I keep telling them
Proformance Unlimited are the ones to go to!
I thought a tail light guarantee went with
this engine, but guess what, two years
running and no problems. You guys are
the best.

Doug & Steve: Wanted to take a moment and thank you both for the awesome 350 420hp engine you built for my 69 Vette. The motor works like a charm and sounds like a beast.....It is truly a pleasure to work with pros like yourselves. Should be down to see you in about a week or two with the finished project.... Doug; saw the article in the Asbury Park Press about your ride......truly unbelievable..... Thanks, Dave from New Jersey

I want to thank all of you, Steve ,Paul and Doug, for your support and technical knowledge. The engine is more than I expected. Man what a beast! The guy that helped with the work on the car has 25 years of racing and building engines. For not being a blown engine, he said it's definitely insane! He drove the car and said it is unreal! He also said it is an excellent example of people knowing what they are doing. Thanks to all at Pro-Formance Umlimited. I can't thank you folks enough. I will recommend your company to all. Here are a couple of pictures. A video is to follow soon. Ron from Florida

Well after 2 years I sold the car to my friend Kurt and he will be moving to Pennsylvania. I told him he must come visit you guys and the shop! I believe in the quality ENGINES YOU GUYS BUILD! That motor is still rock solid and running like new! I still owe you guys some wine and I’m going to send it! Thanks for being so honest and building me a high quality motor!

Well, Steve sorry
it took so long to get with you on the first
stage of our installation of the Great
Create 383 you guys built for my 34 Ford. It
arrived in the afternoon by UPS and we
unloaded it, the UPS man and pushed it into
my garage. It was like someone spread female
hormones in the neighborhood, before I knew
it all the men in the area picked up the
scent and were drawn to my garage. First it
was the UPS man refusing to leave until I
opened the box, then there were 8 guys
standing around waiting for me to take the
cover off. I suddenly sprung to my tool box
for a box knife but before I got back all my
friends had popped the box top and were all
standing around with a Woodie ""Cheap Male
Viagra" It was a site to behold" we all
stood around this beautiful motor with beer
in hand and wearing sun glasses because the
reflection from the motor caused extensive
glare, a guy can never have to much chrome
or horse power you know, we all conversed
about how it will look and what I should do
to the "34". You guys built one hell of a
motor cant wait to get it into the car and
fire that Baby up for its first run, stay
tuned for the next episode, when the motor
goes in and the pictures begin. In the mean
time I'm going to throw a chain around it
and wear it around my neck " Man Bling" PS.
Steve I talked to a friend of mine Mark
Archer of Camas Wa. About you and he also
ordered a 350 for his ''74 Vet. Still can’t
believe the great job you guys did and what
a work of art

September 5, 2007 Steve & Crew Just wanted to drop you guys a line and a HUGE THANK YOU on my 350/420hp motor. This 1966 Chevelle super sport was a 10 second street/strip car. It was my brothers car, then he passed away at age 44, when he died, so did the 472 cu. in. race motor. My goal was to put the car back on the street and just have fun with it. So I turned to Proformance Unlimited for a turnkey crate motor. All I can say is "WOW". This motor is so strong! It's a pleasure to drive on the street. With Hooker 1 5/8" Super Comp headers and a full 3" Flowmaster exhaust, it still sounds and feels like a big block, With BFG drag radials, 0-100 MPH is a blast. Second car show, took home a trophy! Thanks Proformance Unlimited Rich Yavenue Chicagoland

Doug, Steve, and
Paul After almost a year of showing the GTO around the state I just had to let you guys know that this beast is still purring away and growling at the challengers. A lot has been done to my car since the install, like a Tremec 5 speed and a Dana 60 form strange engineering. I recently picked up the car from the body shop where 4 coats of Inferno Red Crystal Pearl where added. Every show I go to put the plaque out in front to display the goods and every show I go to they all comment on how clean the engine looks and mean it sounds. I guess I've put on about 8k Miles since I installed it and it still has that get out of my way sound! Once again I can't thank you enough for making my dream come true. If you guys ever decide to come west. Call me Joe Novinski South San Francisco, CA

February 18, 2007 Proformance Unlimited, I want to take a few minutes and thank everyone at Proformance Unlimited for their professional dedication on the 350 440HP "high roller" engine that was so skillfully assembled for my 68' Camaro. after getting the engine compartment all ready I dropped the "roller" in and it fired up on the first crank! I really appreciate the staff taking my calls on the questions I have had along the way. I can't wait until spring time so I can get it out and really enjoy the massive horsepower this engine is cranking out. My first small run showed me the potential this car can have; it sure was a major upgrade on the engine that was running in the car before. Again my many thanks to the entire team, what a great job!! Bill Burns Marysville, OH

February 1, 2007 Hello fellows at Proformance Unlimited! Last year, I took my 68' Camaro apart, Replacing about 90% of the interior and had a body shop repaint and repair anything on the body that had any defects. I repainted the car dark blue with a white nose stripe and replaced all the chrome and lights. The 383/450 HP motor I bought from you just put the icing on the cake! The power and sound made my 68' a dream come true. The motor started up as it did on my video. It runs better each time I carry it out for a drive. No adjustments so far. It has been a pleasure dealing with you. John Mayhew Lynch Station, VA

Doug and Steve, I can’t thank you enough for building my 1970 Pontiac 400 with 10.75 to 1 compression, new Edelbrock performer rpm manifold, new Edelbrock 750 carburetor, and speed pro forged pistons. You painted it the correct Pontiac blue and it arrived beautifully put together. Thanks for taking the time to build me exactly what I wanted. The engine has worked great now for 4 years or so and has plenty of power(probably around 400hp). It even held together when I accidentally revved it to 7000 rpm a couple of times. That video of it bench revving to 7200 is unreal. I installed back in my 67 GTO and it looks fantastic. It is usually one of the best looking engines at cruise nights. I am enclosing some pics for you. Also, I can’t believe you built such a great engine with so many new parts for the low price you charged. It cost me 30% less than if I had built it in New Orleans including the shipping both ways By the way, I might be ready to take another step for even more power. What would suggest next? I could send you the heads for porting and swap the cam for something more radical. The current cam is an angle with about 228 and a low lift of .49. It is pretty tame and I would like something with more of a lope. It is strictly a street cruiser, so I don’t want to sacrifice too much drivability. Could you stroke this engine out for more cubes than the current 412? Or would you suggest I get a 455 block and stroke this for monster torque with great drivability? If I do a 455 I will want to add a turbo at some point when I can afford it. Glad your business is doing well. I always recommend your shop to every single person I meet that needs any type of performance engine build. You are the best. No one else will ever build my engines. Take Care, Dan Harper

Hey Guys !! What an absolute pleasure it has been working with you. The entire process of my motor build, from conception to completion, has been more than I could of hoped. The motor runs flawlessly. I just returned from a small car show in Prairie City, Oregon. The accolades were amazing. Many of the show participants were very imprested with the sound, power and appearance of my new 350/420 for such a fair price. The engine has been a perfect compliment to my car. I want to thank you for all you have done. As the car nears completion, it has been my great pleasure working with all of you. I wish you much success in the new year to come. Warmest Regards, Troy Meeder Bend, Oregon

Which will be Fire Engine Red Pearle………… I have put a few more thousand in it since I've brought it home from there, I wish I could tell you every thing I've had done to it but I don't remember. But there is nothing like the sound of that motor and exhaust, That you guys did for me. She will smoke them 50 series tire at a 100mph in third gear. This thing is awesome I will bring it down for you guys to see it this summer hopefully. Right now it gets about 6 miles per gallon. Maybe you guys can put NOS on it for me. You guys are GREAT…………….

If you are a car fan and watch the Speed
Channel on Cable or Satellite you have
probably seen the program "Drean Car
Garage"..... and you have probably seen
this fellow, Tom Hnatiw.
![]()
He was at the Walter Mitty races at Road
Atlanta interviewing the Superformance
Cobra Dealer that is located right
across from the track. They had a
display right across from FFR's display
where our car was siiitng. David [my 40
year old son] was staning overover there
talking to someone and I was on my way
back from the toilet - walked up and he
said "This must be the elder Krueger."
[or soimething like that]. I said: "Yep
that's me, and that's my Blue Cobra over
there with the 351 Windsor from
Pro-Formance Unlimited in Ocean, NJ." He
said: "Oh, yea - we just had
Pro-Formance build us an engine for a
project car on the show." I said "Yea -
they are a great company and build
engines for celebrities all over the
world." He said: "Well, here comes
the cameraman - I have to get to work!"
The program is on at 10:00 pm tonight -
but I doubt they can aire thi squick.
Tonights program WILL be about
Superformance and Carroll Shelby's new
relationship!

Hey Doug, Friday I went over to the restoration shop to get my first look at motor and transmission. It appears that you people did a real fine, they look great. My mechanic said your people did an excellent job shipping these items. Thanks Mike Lauth 302-300HP

Doug and Steve! Your motors are first class! All the bugs are worked out and here in Italy all the rich Italians in their Ferrari's and Porches just stop and stare in total amazement when I come through town with the wicked 1987 WildStang powered by your 347 Stroker! This car runs soooooo strong the smiles are never ending! Thanks for all your support and help getting the motor here to Italy and helping my Italian mechanic's finally get the job completed. You truly run a 1st class organization! With your motor Im doing American Muscle Cars proud in Italy! Thanks! A VERY VERY Happy Customer! Mike Jones

Doug and Steve, I just wanted to thank you guys for the great 383-510 horse power stroker you built for my 81 pickup. Three days after it arrived, it was in my pickup and I was roasting the tires right out of the garage. I love beating on all the mustangs and Camaro's around town off the light. It was a great relief to me to able to call Steve and ask him question during the build process. Thanks again guys and will be calling to order another engine for my next project.

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.
Jack & Lorrie Terrana

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.

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 flowmaster 40's
out the back of the car. Nice rumble
and load when you get on it!

Dear Doug, Steve And Paul, 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 dnyo 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

I didn't know Doug or Steve when I choose there company to build my motor, in fact, I didn't know if there even was a
company ,other than what I
seen online, I didn't know.
Why and the hell have a
place 3,000 miles away build it when there
are thousands of places here in
California ?
maybe get burned, ? this is why, I
wanted something different, a motor
different than all my friends, but did I
have to go
clear across the country , no I
didn't but I did anyway.
Was it worth the risk?, you tell
me, I've been smokin my
tires, burnin up the hi-ways
everyday, EVERYDAY! now for
over 3 yrs., other than oil/filters and
tires, I haven't had a thing to do but
drive, drive, drive, that engine, I have
been smilin
and still am smilin, hell yeah, it was
worth the risk California Cary

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? This
engine was upgraded with keith black pistons
and air gap intake. I've installed a digital
rev limiter to protect the engine but it
sure is pulling when it kicks in at 6500
rpm. If the engine can handle more revs do I
need to upgrade the distributor to something
that can withstand the rpms? Again the
engine is awesome Doug did a great job.
Thanks for all the help and hope the new
shop is going smoothly.

Hey Guy's, On behalf of my dad and i, we would like to thank you for the outstanding motor you built for our 67 Camaro. My dad called you with many questions and you took the time to answer all of them and help us find a motor that would fit our needs. It's Hard to find honest people who will stand by their work. We have received the motor and are very happy with what we have seen. We have not installed it in the car yet, but are very confident that their will be no problems. Once again thank you very much and we will defiantly be sending you pictures of the end result.
Thanks, Chuck & Corey

Dear Steve & Doug
I wanted to thank
you for the great job you did on my
351w, not only does it look fantastic it
run just as good !
I'm very pleased with the service, your
price quote you gave me was right on
target and delivered the level of
performance I was looking for. The fact
that you were able to pick-up and drop
off the motor with a fast turn around
made it all the better experience
dealing with your company!
Thanks Again
Kevin Frank

| Doug and Steve,
I just wanted to write a little E-mail about my engine that you built for me. I love it! It was delivered the way that we had talked about and the way that I wanted it. The service after the sale with you guys is excellent! You will have all of my engine business from now on. I'm also including a picture of my truck that the engine is in. This is my on going project but now the drive train is all done the body is all that is left. I will send you some of the installation after the snow melts from around here. Thanks again. Timer Penrod Rawlins, Wyoming

| Doug And Steve, I have been driving around now for about a week and I can certainly say without a doubt that you are a master craftsman. The feel of the engine is incredible, it did not respond this way when it was new. Everything is so tight and neat that I almost feel as if I am driving a new car. The workmanship and the level of detail exhibited in the rebuilding of this engine can only be described as excellent. I want to thank you for a job well done. You can be sure that Performance Unlimited will receive my highest recommendations.

Doug And Steve, The engine looks like a work of art!!! You guys do really nice work!!! The only thing I'm not sure of is the oil pan. I can't completely tell, but is the sump in the front? If so, front lip of the pan where the bolt holes/gasket surface is. I can't really tell from the pictures, so it may actually be the same pan. If you could double check, I'd appreciate it. I don't really want to disturb your fine craftsmanship by having to change out the oil pan if it's not the right one. Besides, my oil pan has a big dent in it. Once again, the engine looks hot!!! I absolutely can't wait to drop it in and fire it up. The hard part will be waiting a few thousand break in miles before opening up the throttle to see what that big boat is gonna do! LOL! Thanks, ED

| Hi Doug and Steve, Just to let you guys know we dropped the motor in our 85 Camaro 2 weeks ago and put a set of SLP headers on it . It sounds fantastic The throttle response is right there. We're still waiting for the trany delivery. The day we fired it up most of my friends came up to our house and were very impressed with what they saw and heard. thanks for your great service (1-1/2 weeks for a complete turn-key set up). I'll send you pictures when the car is complete . Joseph Azzaretto Sr. & Jr. Staten Island N.Y.

| Hay Doug and Steve, The Motor Looks Great Better Than I Expected. I Was Very Impressed With The Fast Turn Around And Service You Guys Provided For Me. After Getting Every Thing Hooked-Up I Pumped The Gas Twice And Turned The Key And She Fired Right Up Just Like You Said It Would. The Engine Sounds Great With A Little Rumble Just Like I Asked For. Thanks, Ken Dennison Long Branch N.J.
