This goes out to Doug, Paul and Steve
That motor you guys built me is over the top guys I want to say it is the freaking bad ass wicked. I completed the install on my 67 Camaro took it down the road just the other day and holly crap it is awesome it looks awesome the Pro-Formance of this thing is over the top. I can not say enough about how this thing performs and the look dead on perfect. If your needing a motor these guys from Jersey my home boyzzz will hooked it up. They sent me this 350 375hp turn-key gem the power is unbelievable it has exactly the throttle response I asked for the horse power dead on perfect guys thanks a ton for building the great motor. It was phenomenal doing business with you guys Ocean Township Rules.

Hi Doug, Steve.
Well the motor is just fine.
In fact it is rather scary at full blast.
And takes me to 110 Mph in 2nd and 3rd to 160 Mph......as for 4th and 5th, are you kidding me?
I have got no where near that yet.
I am really getting into these Edelbrock Thunder Series carbs now.
I got wrong footed at first, by Edelbrock of all people. I must have got the Janitor who was holding the phones that morning for the Tech guys....Jeeeeez!
Anyhoo, the upshot is that after MUCH futsing about I am running the carbs as the standard setting, but 4% LEANER on the metering rods. The difference is amazing. The engine really barks and is super crisp.
Also I run the second WEAKEST power valve spring, forget the color now.
Another thing. The float levels are quite fussy. As the carbs come they work fine when the car is still, but they need to be at their MAXIMUM fuel level in the float bowl settings to not have the car cut out in a 90 degree turn or on a long sweeping curve.
I run a 2,1/2" diameter straight through exhaust system. This was the biggest that I could squeeze into the frame. It is bloody loud! But makes me grin. Like I imagine sex with a 18 year old girl would, hey ho, those where the days. Anyway it probably costs me less than the 18 year old.
I have almost got rid of my very low speed very light throttle demand drive line "shunting", at about 30 Mph.
Which is a royal pain in the arse.
I have also ordered the MSD knock sensor. I have used this in the past to good effect.
I think that I can dial in some more start advance and run it leaner too.
I have attached some photos here.
Please let me know if you can open them.
I will get a video done.
Of course the weather here is crap, as usual, and I am moving home, so not sure when that will happen.
Hope that all is well with you guys.
Of course I now want this motor, but with the Aluminum block.
I blame Steve here. He should have pushed me into a corner and made me buy
one!
Regards,
Rich.

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
Thanks Much Harrison Roberts

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!!

Hi pro guys,
Just dropping you a note and a few pictures of my BEAST!! She looks great in the engine bay. You guy's are everything you advertise and I am glad I found your website. I am chomping at the bit to get out and chew some ass on the road. Proformance unlimited is confident in their product, and they provide the power they preach. Keep up the great work guy's. P.S. Looking for a 56 F-100, and going to stuff it with a little old motor from the boy's in Jersey.

I want to thank you for a great engine. I purchased a 347/425 in March for my Factory Five Cobra coupe. It was delivered on time and just a beautiful hunk to look at. After coupling it to the Tremec TKO 600 that you provided it was ready for the 1st. fire up on July 4th. It fired right up and put a big smile on my face. I was going to finish the car before I drove it but I couldn’t stand it. I put over 3500 miles on it this summer and fall with no problems except the coil died. The engine performs much better now with 3500 miles on it then when new. Temperatures and oil pressure are right on. I have all winter to do body work and paint; I’ll send photos when done. I did two track events, the second at NHIS 3 days ago----WOW
Thanks Again,

Steve and Paul-
I want to thank all of you at Pro-Formance Unlimited for Building this beautiful engine for me. When we got it to our garage, we opened the crate and WOW the chrome shined so bright from the sun shining on it. I had to go in and get my darkest sunglasses and put them on so I could admire the excellent craftsmanship put into this engine.
Everything is so professionally assembled, I believe you folks out done yourselves on this one. It’s nice to know that when you tell someone how you want and engine built that it can actually be done, with no questions asked.
We have a saying down here in Florida…..Find someone to build it, then find someone to finish it.Also I want to thank the both of you for all the technical support you have given me.Several of my friends have stopped by and are amazed how well this engine is built All they can say is git er in and git er fired up. I love to tell people where this engine was built.
Pictures of it going into my vehicle will follow and also pictures of the original engine coming out. And I will send a video of the first road test.
Thanks again

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

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.

Steve,
I wanted to drop you a line and tell you thanks for all the help you and your team have been in helping me select my engine and various other parts, but more importantly, how well this engine performs. This power plant has totally transformed my sluggish Bronco into a muscle truck that has caught more than one unsuspecting hotrod by surprise. It’s backed by a built C-4 auto with Hurst shifter, and a 3500 stall from Transmission Specialties, Out back is a nine inch with a Detroit locker, and 31 spline chromoly shafts. The interior was recently treated to a new dash with pieces from Auto Meter and So Cal Speed Shop, and the transfer case is shifted by a modified piece from Lokar. Suspension includes all new springs, bushings, brake lines, and drive shafts by Wild Horses.
Thanks again for all your hard work. I have gladly recommended Pro Formance to several people with projects on the books.

Holy F***ING COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a motor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's INSANE, with a full exhaust system on it, it sounds like a dragster and the tick over is to die for.
It's won the biggest look at me factory the moment it starts up.
I haven't had the "balls" yet to drive it.
I think that a LOT more SERIOUS chassis checking is required before I drive this on the street.
So far 100% SATISFACTION guys.
Many, many thanks to Doug and to Steve and anyone else involved with this motor build.
My friends, who are pretty hard engine builders in their own ways, are open mouthed at this motor.
I will get a video made and send to you.
The link you sent to me with it running, good at that is, does NOT do your work justice.
If this runs like it sounds it will be sensational!
And I believe that it will.
It picks up revs as fast as a two stroke motorcycle engine.
I have had some serious small block Chevrolet motors built.........but this............this is in another league.
Talk to you guys soon.
Bets regards to you all guys.
Rich, England
A VERY HAPPY customer.

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

Hello Steve,
My name is mike and I own a 1966 2+2 K code mustang. I order a 302, 380 hp for my car. It was the best thing I could do for my car ------ it made it come alive. The motor was a perfect fit for my car.
Let me put it this way when I first got the motor in the car and running, my wife and I went for a ride and she told me it gave her anxiety attacks because of the power the motor gave the car. It may sound mean but I had a good laugh about it. Now she has no problems when she rides in it. She loves it as much as I do. I receive many complements on the motor that PROFORMANCS UNLIMITED built for me AND OF CORSE THE CAR. Great job guys.. Thank you guys again for all your help. It is not if, but when I get my next project I will buy another motor from you people. I would recommend to buy a motor from PROFORMANCS UNLIMITED they are very good in how they take care of there customers and how they build motors...
Thank you again
Happy Motoring
