Guys.

I understand what you are saying........ but I will say the only other head like them I feel is not even a option. It is a pain but they are really nice. Phil if I can help in any way just let me know.

Thanks man, we'll get it figured out. I think at this point in the game, we're all big boys and the truth wont hurt anyone. They have a bad *** product there isn't any debating that, customer service is a whole different story. I'm 100% cool with...
"I dont have the heads, I am trying to get some from the casting source"
"I have the heads but need to machine them"
"I'm really backed up its going to take a while, I dont know how long"
"I'm having problems sourcing _______ to finish the heads"
"I've been busy and have not gotten them in the CNC"

Just phucking man up and communicate. Sonny Bryant is the exact same phucking thing.
US: How long is the crank going to take?
Them: 16 weeks they should say "You'll get it when you get it"

If your **** is the baddest on the planet and is going to take 6 months just say so cause I am cool with it, dont blow smoke up my *** and say they are ready to ship when they aren't.

No updates on the heads. Shawn had hoped to have the motor finished by the last week this month. Rods showed up monday, pistons should be here today so we can probably get the shortblock rockin. Valves should also be here any time. Just need heads so we can get the shortblock assembled and order the pushrods.

I've got a couple guys standing by to help do the final fab work so we can get it back together and if the stars align make the 1st race @ MIR on the 15th.

Just sayin, if the races were on friday or sunday, we would definitely be there. I doubt I would take off a saturday for a 1k to win race but if it were 5k+, I probably would. My time has to be worth it......

all I hear is blah blah blah blah...

I have to take off work to come to your friday night races...no excuses Mr. MIR

so if one of the events rains out and they hold on sunday you'll be there??? I'm betting you'll find another reason to stay away

So glad I play around with this stuff at a juvinile level compared to you guys.. those insano hard to come by parts, just aren't needed.

Everything in my next motor will be totally off the shelf stuff, nothing at all custom anywhere. Only thing I'll be stuck with is waiting for pro-filer castings.



Oh wait, that might be just as bad LOL.

If the race is on sunday I'm there. Do you take off work or do you have every other friday off and you just leave early which is different than taking off. When Shawn went to delaware to race, was I there?
