I spoke with Shawn just a few minutes ago and I can certainly understand his fustration. Our crankshaft was not made to our specifications which puts us at a critical point in the build. Sonny Bryant has said they would make it right we just need to figure out which road we want to continue on. Mistakes/Sh&t happen.
He seems to think I'll be able to pick up the motor in about 4 weeks leaving 2-3 weeks before the 1st local race.

Well got back to work in the shop today. Madman had the rear shocks revalved and dynoed so they match how they were setup before the old valving. The rear end is all buttoned up. Got the turbo in place and going to weld on the v-band this weekend. Basically the car is ready to go with the exception of the motor. My dad and I are going to work on a few small things but overall we're ready to go. I went ahead and hacked up the crossover for the turbo so I can remake it for the tall deck motor.
Shawn and I can't wait to get back out, the car showed soo much potiential last time out considering we had the wastegate problem and turned the boost down to 30#, she still managed a 4.9 @ 160 turning the boost down. That pass we were right at 3120 with 60# of ballast. With the new motor we'll race locally at 3000 on the button. Should be interesting to see what it does with the new motor/turbo setup.
