Can you post who worked on your car already, what happened, whats wrong with the car? I can think of a few people, but none are in Charlotte. How about a road trip down to Vengeance Racing in Cumming, GA ?? There's others in your area, or at least a little closer then GA. How about VA Speed ??

Sounds like the $hit that happened to me. I ordered a set of LG Pro longtube headers, and they came in about a day before I was going out of town, so I dropped the car and headers off at a local shop (Motor City Exhaust, now out of business, I wonder why) so I could get the car back when I came into town. Anyways I come back a week later thinking my car would be done, well it wasn't. Another week goes by and I go check to see if she's ready and it was, but the shop failed to inform me that they had cut the cam position sensor. DUH !! Anyways the car fired and ran decent, then I stopped to get some gas and she wouldn't restart ? He came and picked up the car in his trailer and another week goes by, and he finally came clean after I threatened to call the BBB. Either way, I'm glad it happened because the incident sent me to a good shop "LG Motorsports" and after meeting everyone down there I was bitten by the mod bug. I started out with headers only, Cam/headers/intake, h/c all bolt ons, now I am done (I hope) with forged 402 h/c all bolt ons. Very happy too, just can't wait to drive it.
