Shaun said they put it together wrong and the stall was loose. He fixed it all for me the real problem was went the motor went..... Nice new LS6 down the drain from a cracked piston. I never even got to spray it.

Default Updates

Have A few updates for those following:

Seems like we take two steps forward and one step back every time we seem to be in the clear. If I had to do it all over again I'm debating whether this would have been worth the trouble lol. I will list the bumps in the road below so far and also update the first page with them.

Problem Resolution
Different Fuel Injectors to help with tune Trade out the Siemen 80#'s for Injector Dynamics 850cc
Fuel Pump Fitment issues Modified it to work
Coldside Piping ran out Purchased another Cold Side Kit from E-bay
K - Member does not work with Hotside Purchased BMR K-Member from Kyle
Hotside Leaks Welded and Re-Wrapped
Oil Pressure Problems Oil Pump missing pressure spring
Hotside Melted Motor Mount Wrapping new Motor mount moving hotside over a few inches
Startup Issues with Fuel Injectors Try and compenstate in the tune

Builder took the car out to put some more miles on it before the tuner got it. Transmission started slipping on the first light pull on the street. Opened the transmission and have metal inside it. End cause was the Converter exploded. New one ordered. well see what's next.

Still the saga continues...

Hood isn't on the car still after 3 weeks
Car still isn't tune after a longer amount of time... won't go into who the tuner is but this is extremely frustrating.
