No one here at the shop wanted Anthony's car to leave. If he said to us, "You can keep the car here to diagnose the problem", we would have done this.
Matt, Nick, Jakub(our newest tech), and myself have been here at the shop all this time. I am here from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday. My lunch break consists of reading posts on my computer and answering more phone calls. I answer pretty much all the phone calls that come in. Also, Matt has already replied in this thread. I do not understand the statements about Matt disappearing and not being able to be reached.
Alex, I believe I have not once bashed any shop on any board. That does not mean that I have not listened to complaints about shops from others or even stuff that has happened to me personally. I am not excluding TTP as far as hearing complaints about.
Nick has been doing the cam install almost exclusively for a long while now. Matt has also been responsible for tuning even before George left. With supporting bolt-ons(headers, y-pipe, catback, air intake), I have seen our cams produce similiar numbers over and over again. Exceptions would be '97 and '98 engines or engines that had excessive milage.

Tony,
Any updates? Lets not shop bash, thats not going to accomplish anything. Hopefully Tony can get the car figured out and go from there. Were their any tranny issues?

We told Anthony what the most likely problem was and what needed to be done to fix it. We also have put a guaranty on our diagnosis and would not charge for the labor if we are wrong. How much more can we do?

WS6TransAm: That is the same cam in both cars (But the graph you show is in a m6, ls6 heads, fast 90mm, altho it does have a 12-bolt that robs power, you cannot compare that car to this one with old casting 853 heads). Anthony's car has a lifter problem.. Just like everyone else that I have diagnosed, I will pay for the parts + labor if my diagnosis is wrong. The R/R heads is $650 + $205 for the lifters + gaskets... If my diagnosis is wrong I'll eat the entire job. Also, I have offered to Anthony after we do the job I will retune the car for free. I do not want to see problems with my customer's cars, so I will try to do whatever I can for them if there is.
Oh and Alex, If you want me to list all of the cars we have fixed from other shop's we will be here all day...

I just got my car back from TTP for a Cam install and I'm more than happy with their workmanship, knowledge and customer service.
I'm even working to bring the car back for more work in the very near future. I'm never comfortable with shops in general but they made me feel very comfortable from the beginning.

Tony if you have a lifter problem I'd highly sugest you get them changed out before running that car too hard. I've seen a few threads in the "internal" section here with guys damaging their brand new camshafts due to lifter failure.

Well Alex is known for bashing shops and customers . I even have a Text Message on my phone from him. I belive he knows what I am talking about. Lets Keep this clean. I'm sure TTP will solve the problem and make ends meet. Matt and crew did an awesome Job on my car and the Numbers shows ...
