Dan Cragin is great. He’s helping me FREE with my Land Speed Salt car I’m building. I’ve always considered him an asset. He also has Honesty and Integrity which is important nowadays.

Dan has built many cars and Harry Harkonian’s 750hp Paxton surpassed 200mph in the STANDING mile! His dual supercharged GTS of Hugh Hoard was the first car to surpass 200mph in the standing mile at 6500′ Ely, Nv.

Dan was always part of the Viper racing programs and worked with many of the best and most knowledgeable engineers and techs.

Several of us “borrowed” his tuner and flew Chris to Edmonton where we congregated and he flashtuned my Roe GTS, Clint’s built Paxton and wrote Joel’s AEM program for his TT GTS.

I’m glad my post created so many positive stories involving Dan. The props are very well deserved!

Lots of posts about Hennessey a few years back.. Now it’s RSI but same story.. Potential customers get jaded and left with the fear to go to any vendor since the chance seems high that they end up on the wrong and costly end of a deal. That is not fair to vendors like Dan at SPT…

Anyone rolling the dice on unknown and unproven vendors instead of working with Dan Cragin is a fool, bottom line. No one knows more about Vipers and no one will work as hard or act as ethically to get the job done right as Dan.

Anyway, game’s starting, carry on!

I have yet to post the results of my last set of engine mods but I wanted to quickly give some well-deserved props to SPT and specifically Dan Cragin!

Due to the delays related to RSI’s business issues, my straight-forward business for SPT turned into a 5 months ordeal. Every time there was a question or a left-turn, Dan stepped up to help, went the extra mile what now seems to be daily, and continuously pushed to get it resolved and the car back on the road.

The additional work needed to get the heads in workable order (see my other Alley threads for details) was expedited with his main head guy at-cost and to make sure the work was done right and every hp was squeezed out through perfectly degreed cam, port-matching, and condition of peripheral parts, the engine was removed without added cost or delays.

At every step, Dan personally provided updates and included pictures of the main mods and completions.

Bottom line: What vendors do when they don’t have to or when no one would know if they didn’t is what truly sets the top-tier vendors apart from the rest! As I told a Viper owner on the east coast; I would have paid the extra cost of shipping to SPT than letting a more local vendor do the work at a discount. Needless to say, my next set of mods will be done by Dan Cragin at SPT!
