yes they are doing the work
I heard they're good. Never heard of them. If you don't mind me asking, how much are they charging for that and how much extra horsepower can you expect?

they should be able to steer you in the right direction for cluthing, gearing , etc. I beleive Gerry once raced SRX's, and he knows them inside and out.
383stroker, on asphalt, your suspension will be far more critical then your clutching/gearing is. You can run pretty well with trail clutching set ups,stock gearing is good place to start, but... the key is to have the rear suspension working for you and not against you. Every 1/10th you can take off your 60ft time will be 2/10ths off your elapsed time at the end. If you can go out and get a 60ft time right in the lower 1.5's your headed in the right direction, with the stock pro action skid and ALOT of work, have been in the 1.4's on 60ft times here.
mid 10 sec times are very capable with a stock srx, if you have that kind of engine work done,(assuming you have good suspension set up), you should be running in the 9's. Its a blast on the tar!

other than the skiis and track obviously. tether cord, leathers and a cooling station. that is all i started with. i have even used a guardan hose from the camper hook ups to cool it down before the cooling station is just handyer.

I seem to remember reading years ago that the standard belt/clutch guard wasn't thick enough for NHRA tracks....

Could be, dunno. It was the first year NHRA had listed sled regulations in their handbook and things may have changed. I just thought I'd mention it.
