Forged Performance: On the cover of Modifed Mag:Tuner Shootout Results!

So at last, the Aug 2009 issue of Modified Magazine reveals the results of the Tuner Shootout that Forged Performance competed in back in April 2009.

11 tuner shops brought out their latest and greatest hardware to compete. Against some serious heavy hitting competitors like the GST Motorsports and Crawford Performance, Forged finished on the podium in 3rd place with our modestly modified GT-R. Special thinks to Will Taylor, for co-driving with me, all the way from Atlanta. The 28 hr non-stop drive was epic.

Grab a copy if you all get a chance. There is a very interesting backstory at the event, and lots of drama and weather related mayhem. It's the largest issue of the year for Modified Magazine.

Thanks for the support! This was the most fun I have in a long time. Even the 28 hrs drive each way wasn't that bad! Modified Magazine put on a great event, and it's still my favorite tuner mag out there for me.

Good stuff. Congratulations!!!

I got this last week as my first issue of my subscription. It was a good way to start, and the event looked great (other than the rain, and in your case the quarter mile-- I think your guys had a chance to win if everything worked out).

We're shooting for a win next year. More preparing and planning always helps. We only had two weeks to get to the event...we were a last minute invite.

GST Subaru Impreza (early 2000's) was 1st and I think the Yumi or Crawford STi was 2nd.
