Default APE and Absolute speed

I just wanted to thank Nick at APE for doing research on some custom pistons I ordered and getting the right rods that NO ONE seemed to be able to figure out..He took time out of his busy schedule and researched until he found what I was needing....THANK YOU APE AND YOU HAVE EARNED MY BUSINESS


Now for Jay @ Absolute speed.....

I had a cam made for me...pretty big...through cam motion. Jay advised me to flycut the pistons to make sure I had no P to V clearence issues. I did this, but evidently my cam was still too big and on start up, a few of the intake valves contacted the pistons damaging the BRAND NEW HEADS. To make a long story short...I called up Jay and he told me not to worry about a thing...Send him back the heads and he would havee another set out to me ASAP AT NO CHARGE...I couldnt believe my ears. I have been working closely with Jay on my project and getting the right setup...He has to have the BEST customer service I have ever dealt with....Thanks alot

damn good of Jay, honestly he didnt even have to do that for you. It was clearly not his fault. Hes a great guy. I hope everything comes together quickly for you. Atleast this time you will have a strong bottom end and pistons already notched. Good luck. Your car should be killer.

Great news Hugger,I see that you are going with a stout set up and should run the numbers.BTW,good color choice,do you know your build number? Mine is 1912.

Jay at Absolute Speed has great customer service and is always willing to answer all your questions.

Since my heads are being shipped out Friday from Jay, reading material like this justifies the reason I went with him. Now I really can't wait till I get them!
