Last Friday Patrick and I made a trip to DC Performance with Patricks truck.

This was the first time I had been there and I was impressed with how the shop was laid out and the cleanliness, also the efficient way things were handled throughout the day.

I got to personally meet Dan, Tony, Chris, Kim, and the entire crew. What a great bunch of guys, all the way.

I was enamored with the shop and could spend weeks there if I were allowed.

Having been an owner and shop operator, I can appreciate the professionalisn that is evident everywhere at DC Performance.
I walked in the door and knew instantly that they were the real deal.

With Patricks job, Dan did all the preliminary diagnostic work that was necessary. There were no shortcuts taken anywhere.

This impresses me today in this world of parts changing automatons. The techs at DC know what they are doing.
This is based on knowledge and experiance not a little box that say change the "Knerfener" valve, without haveing a clue if it is bad or what it even does.
Dan and the guys know how things really work. They have the best in diagnostic equipment also.

The care that was taken of all the customer vehicles is a joy to see. If you leave you vehicle at DC Performance it will be treated well and not abused as I so frequently see and hear elsewhere.

We arrived at 7:10 AM and unloaded the truck. Dan arrived shortly there after. It took them untill 8:20 AM to get the cars parked and the day up and running. From that time on everybody in the facility was working all the time.

Mike Brady (Nowwhat) has always spoken highly of Dan and DC Performance. You are absolutly correct Mike these guys are wonderful. It is hard for me to convey how good this place really is on a keyboard.

Dan my hat is off to you for putting together an organization of this caliber.

I recommend DC Performance to everyone, you cannot go wrong going there.
 
We need to get DC more active on this forum....their expertise would benefit many of us....will stop by the shop tomorrow....

Nowwhat is a man of honor and a special person, his word is his bond and If Jack supports it being in this business and Drag racing for 300 years, that's all I need to hear...........Mike go get them and make em post up info to help us all out......I wont need the info since I already have the Baddest truck in the land...But some other poor SRT-10 POS slow truck will need em :D

Is it really? At least with that you might get a crack hoe every once in a while LOL.
 
I've talked through e-mail to dan back a few years when I had my Viper. As many of you know his blower flash/thermostat combo did the trick for what was a lack of performance on my SRT Ram. The research and time he's put in to improving the Ram itself cant be touched by anyone else!! I'm glad to have given him some business after the help he's been for me. I'm now on the list for the DC blower inlet tube.

Dans the man!!

Get the 10lb pulley too Dave...

Dan said we could go to a bigger pulley since I have the upgraded internals. I cant remember if he said to also go with the water/meth as a security precaution. He told me a story of a guy (viper I think) that was running alot more boost and had the water/meth. Well, the water/meth failed and wala, motor damage. with a pulley comes a tune which where I live isnt a viable option (that I know of). ALso, not sure if the added boost requires upgrading the fuel system.
 
I think the Paxton kit comes with all the fuel upgrade you'll be needing.
I know Dan's got two aircraft/type (Walburg?) fuel pumbs under my butt on the inside rail of the Truck that boost's the fuel to over 100/psi...in a Split-Second. lol
I'm only pulling 8.3#'s/boost @ 6200/rpm.... very light-weight, drive her for 20/yrs. mode. :dancing:

:rock: Dan Cragin is the MAN!!

To bad there's only one of him..... :2in1:
