I have found a new shop in Waukesha, they are doing a build on my 2000 grand Prix. I met them at the World of Wheels show where they won with a nice GTP with ghost flames, and a CTS with Mercedes fenders. I have been watching this forum for a while, and I had to regester and post about these guys. They gave me a killer price on my internals and head work. I hope to be up and running with over 400 horsepower, in my now turbo grand prix. I told them about the forum, and they asked me to tell you guys that they are willing to discount parts and labor for all forum members. They usualy charge $75 per hour, but they will give us a rate of $50 per hour, pluss a nice dicount on parts and materials.
Give them a call
Big 3 Performance
(262)542-BIG3(2443)
They are located in Waukesha at the corner of HWY 164 and HWY 59
Ask for Ben or Anthony, they will take care of you.

Right by the karate place? Tom from OTE's shop is right down the road from there, but that's a chassis/fabrication shop

it will be funny to see what a company that doesn't know there ass from a hole in the ground does to a grand prix. They hacked up the car at World of wheels.

I'd think being that theres a bunch of GTP's on here. You'd post on here for help with grandprixs, I think I alone would be able to handle the "build" you think this company is capable of.

Good luck with that car one its done, that place couldn't mod a GTP if it came modded

I just read the whole post, Goodluck making 400 WHP on a custom turbo from that company. Cartuning did a cartuning ICed kit dyno tuned, 401WHP. and they KNOW what they are doing.

Thanks for the good laugh

you guys say it's a hack job, yet you don't say why you think it's a hack job. I have shown you a pic of a nice clean engine bay, this car won it's class at the show, and it is roaming the streets going fast. I just don't see how it can be called a hack job. I do see the accusers having a vested interest in dicrediting another shop. Please show me any evidence that the car is not clean, or not fast, or more to the point, how other businesses are putting out better projects, and why they didn't win, or even enter the show.

It won because....well......I didn't see any othe GTP's ther.

What size pulley did he say was on that GTP again?

turboguy
03-24-2005, 06:42 PM
good point, thats why their was no GTP class. It won the 2 door class. Did you see any other 2 doors? I did.

I think it was a 3" pulley

Well, the guy could not answer one question right about the car if that helps. If they did, answer, all the info was off the wall.

well smart guy try this one. Come over to my house I'll toss my engine cover on, shoot the engine bay down with engine degreaser. For christ sakes how dumb are you!!! You think a performance engine performs better when its clean and hot. That engine cover is robbing horsepower. Heats a bad thing for performance, and the M90 last time I checked wasn't a damn Air conditioning unit :rolf

I doubt its fast. I can promise you the car isn't fast, GTP's cannot run around in pump gas with a set of Yella terra (SLP) 1.8 rockers, JUNK SLP headers, BIG3 special superduper heads, and a 3.0 PULLEY!!!!!. But I'm sure you knew that as the engine bay was CLEAN and the outside was clean.

Fred won best of show at WOW a couple years ago. But his car was probably faster with teh 3.4 on it that your CLEAN BIG3 super GTP. I beat they told you its the faster car in the state also.... Next time you think about that remember my car still holds that RECORD.

I better clean up my engine bay so I can start making people believe I know how to make a car fast.


Give me some more wood, This fires only getting warm

sriddccrocks, Iam with you on this one, cause I use to drive by there everyday cause my parents live out that way and I even had some window jobs done at Sunbusters and I never even saw this shop? I know hopkins and rodgers autobody are down the road, but no other place. Where do they work out of? The back of the Karate place? Side jobs? :chair:

I talked to these guys down there also. He just kept bring up his "secret combustion chamber mods" and how this car was putting down 350 hp or somthing like that. And when i bought up the zzp m90 kit for the gt's, this guy swore up and down that there is no way in hell you can put a m90 onto a gt and blah blah blah. If i were you, ide stear clear of this guy.

you probably wouldn't like this GTP cause the engine bay isn't "PRETTY"

I mean its not as clean as the BIG3 SUPER STREET CAR.

This car only made 485. So im sure your guys should be able to get close, A bunch of nobodys are going to build you a 11 second turbo car.

Here's the people in wisconsin that really know the GTP's

It won it's class because it was the only one in the class.That car is NOT fast with all that junk bolt on SLP stuff.It may run high 13's.I would not let them touch my GP,the only people i would trust on my car is ZZPerfomance,me and if i needed a hand Jeff and Tim.
Good luck with your 400hp turbo.
My car is est. at about 375 whp(no dyno yet-very soon)and will be in the mid 11's and has won my class at the 2002,2003 WOW and best of show at GrandPrix Gathering 2004

Just shows how people are impressed with the powers of tire shine and red strut bars. From what I know, it wasnt even the guys car but "he did the work on it" :rolleyes: .


Top secret combustion chamber mod :rolf :rolf

My guess is this shop will not be around long. The guy could not answer one question right. Im no rocket scientist with these motors but I know enough to know he is an idiot.

yeah, the guy claimed when asked about KR levels that "he didn't build motors with KR" dooshbag. had a 3" pulley with very litle supporting mods, i asked about a ubend he said of this car doesn't have one of those, it didn't have one from the factory, i ordered it that what a tool. and from the site, it appears they specialize is Cadillacs and stuff
