I dont think he says its runnig fine now, more this is how it ran before it went to the tuners. There is little he says about the running condition...

sorry Braxx, I feel for this kid and I know Sean has delt with pissed customers and will be able to deal with this one too. I bet he was posting so try to feel better about a shitty situation involving (liek most of us car people) his baby. He is getting his car forclosed on

I would part it out bfore I tried to sell it as a complete running car.

Did you see his CRAIGSLIST ad that he posted 2 hours after his first post in this thread? It clearly states: idles nice and drives like stock almost

It's one thing to be pissed about the circumstances but totally different thing to lie.
He obviously is "green" when it comes to cars but he feels that he has enough knowledge to bash an experianced shop owner.
He doesn't explain his side very well at all and his for sale ad contradicts most of what he is saying. Another thing. Can you honestly say that you believe him when he says the employee left the engine on the limiter for 10 sec.?
10sec is a long time. I can't say that I've ever heard a ricer sit on the limiter for 10sec and they all think that sound is cool.

So the Craigslist ad says:

engine: iron 6.0 block bored .030 over 4in stroker crank makes it a 408 CI 6.7L. has a eagle crank and rods, diamond forged pistons.11:1 c/r run on 93 octane. cam is a 236/236 .617/.608 114lsa idles nice and drives like stock almost. heads are new from the ls3 corvette has trick flow pushrods and ls3 rocker arms. intake is from the ls3 and has a holley 90mm throttle body and brand new 52lb injectors. Headers are hooker 1 7/8in 3in true duals over the axle with a x pipe and spintech mufflers.
This doesn't jib with the original post, what's going on?

i put my car on craigslist cause i was so pissed. i wanted sean to put it back to stock but wouldnt give me my money back it ran better stock then its current half tuned. when it was back to stock tune it was gonna be taken somewhere else.

im a dumbass why? cause im young? you dont know anything about my car yet its a hack job? have you even seen it?

im not sure what the injector size is i was going by what sean said!

So, when you put it on CL was it in the condition of "idles nice and drives like stock almost" or did you lie about that?

In my opinion, YES. As for why? You don't take the time explain the story. What you do say seems very fishy.

No, because you came on here bashing a business owner with out being able to form a complete sentence.

Appears to be somewhat hacked. Who left the clips out of the u-joints?
I may have seen your car but I can't say that I have.

It's your car that you say you put together. How do you not know what size injectors it has?
Also, you don't trust Collins repair to tune or work on your car. You call him incompetent. Yet you will advertise the injectors as 52lbs per hour because he said so?

It really is pointless to argue when you can't comprehend what your talking about. You contradict yourself so much between your first post and what you posted on CL. Also, I didn't post anything that was "crediting someone" as you put it. I only posted stuf that discredited your story.

I think it's funny that said non-sponsor shop owner caught wind of this and chimed in, along with calling up his buddies to post here too.
