my car has been there three weeks and I still know nothing.


check out my thread on CF doug responds to me
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...e-of-this.html

Pretty much the car went there for a tune and the map sensor I wired had a bent pin so they replaced it, I did not know this untill today. I called them almost everyday speaking to chris on the status of the car only thing I was told was its either he didnt get into the shop or he didnt know and would call me back.. This went on everyday for the past three weeks same question and same response. In a periord of three weeks I was called back one time with no new news.

now I dont know what to do since it appears from what doug said " something happended on its first dyno run and it dosent suprise me " I assume that means the motor went?

honestly this really does worry me as I just got this car 6 months ago and it only has 18k miles and was running fine prior to going to ecs besides the map sensor issue

^OMG how the hell it happened??^ Never heard of any LS block cracking under 600hp... I say Nitrous is the issue.

You make $400/week but drive a modded 03 Z06? I'm assuming your military with free housing/food/etc cause I don't know many people who can live on $20k/yr with a car payment like that. Either way, you can probably get a block from a junk yard with limited miles for cheap, swap all your parts over, and be good to go.

Not sure where you live since you didn't list it, but in Texas, I'm almost certain that all work done on a vehicle must be authorized and approved by the owner before it can be done. If the shop tries to charge you for anything other than the tune that you authorized (unless you signed some waiver that opened it up to any repairs they felt necessary) then you can't be held liable.

That was an expensive lesson! Stick to bolt-ons unless you have a healthy savings/cash flow. Going fast is spending money, one way or the other, especially on a 10 year old car. Sorry to hear it.
