well pretty much what allout06 said. I knew those F%*ng things went in to easy. O'well. Not much of a mess. Stunk the shop up something fierce. E85 is some stout smelling stuff.

I have the new ones in now. I just need the belts which will be in tomorrow and to pray that my mail order tune is good enough to get it started. Otherwise I may end up having to just take it to them and let them get it sorted. Trying to get it as far along as I can.

 

Ok, it's been a week, we need updates. Or ill settle for pics of the engine bay all finished up.


I'm like a crack head when it comes to your build. I'm like scratchin my neck like "you bro, you um.... You know..... Got some pics? Come on man just one." Lol

 

you wanna buy it?

 

Don't tease me lol

If I wasn't ***** deep in my build I'd consider it haha. I like building my stuff. That's 90% of the fun.

You know you don't want to get rid of it. You've been so excited through this whole thread about this car man. I'm guessing you're having issues?

 

I will buy that head unit though. Seriously.

 

not willing to part it out. want to sell it as a whole.

 

Dude, why do you want to sell it? This is one of the sickest builds on tech. What happened?

 

it was scheduled to go to vengeance saturday. they had a few things that needed to be done. heres what they are:


wire harness tuck
injector install
cutouts welded on
front end alignment
triple pillar gauges
methanol kit needs to be finished up.
hookup the rest of the procharger pipes
find a way to get the filter on the blower.
fire up the motor and tune it/break it in
make a switch panel for the linelock and cutouts and methanol ect...
hookup the transbrake with the two step.


Ron messaged me and said they cant even begin to put hands on it till january due to lack of tech's and the amount of projects they are already doing.

The main thing is FIC's injectors do not fit on my car. they just dont. One of the benefits of having it sent to Vengeance was that FIC was just down the road.

They have been told 3 times.....Fast 102 intake for ls1/ls6 cars. Fast fuel rails......and each time has been something different.....they are too long.....they are too short........the o rings arent big enough........the new o rings are too big. I........now I am being told by the only place suitable to do the finishing touches that I have to wait till next ******* year to get my car back? naaah. im over it....sell this **** and move on.

So at this point...my option is ....bring the car home......let it sit all winter and get rained on. or send it to someone else who says they can tune....and watch it explode. this is the problem with living in the south.....all the shops are anywhere but here......texas, north carolina, kentucky, missouri, kansas, pennsylvania, you name it ....there are badass shops everywhere...and only one in the south, which is vengeance.......and its twice as much for a tune there....($800) and you have to wait till next year to get your **** worked on due to how much business they have going down.


im probably just venting, but I seriously do not know what to do at this point.

 

Dude bring it down to Lashway. Call Eric and set it up. That shop is really doing things and if you research them then you'll find almost no negative comments. He is our go to shop down here. I've got first hand experience with them and they will do anything to try to help you. They even detailed my car before it left and all I got was a tune and a 6 speed swap.

Bring it on down, stay the night at the beach with a lady friend or acquire one there, drink some beer and chill. Eric will give you the best help man.

The only other person that would tune my car that is local and I will use this guy is Jeremy Formatto. He is a bad *** tuner. Research him, he is in Tampa. I know you need work done to your car so that's why I suggested Lashway. They have a full shop and tech staff to help you out.

 

id take my car off a cliff before i took it to lashway. hes already blown up one 390 f1-a setup.

 

I believe Josh is the tuner at lashway. Spend 10 mins on the phone with him and you'll see that he knows what he is doing.

 

What!? Seriously?

Well I've never heard of anything but good from them.

 

I think Jeremy Formatto will come to you but I know he is a bad *** tuner he tunes all the serious cars in SWFL. He is in Tampa. He owns Fastrproms but idk if he has a shop.

If all else fails I'd take that **** to Tick and leave it with Martin. No way in hell I'd be able to wait till January lol.

 

i dont know. maybe Tick or Shortuning. trying to figure it out.

 

well that incident was install related rather than tune related. cant blame joshes tune.


but that place is about 12 hours from here and would be like my 35th choice.

 

Just don't give up on her yet man. You've already come this far. No sense in giving up now.

It'll all be worth it when you're crusin with the T tops out and chicks start stripping in the streets to get your attention for a ride.

 

you talked me into it. talked with james @ shortuning who was my first choice....just alot further than i cared to drive......and hes more than willing to take it on. Tuner of the worlds fastest ZR1 and brian tooleys junk too haha. Tooley is about where I am with his APS build. dropping this ***** off saturday.

 

Sweet! Glad to hear it. I'm excited for you man. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Good choice. I'll be watching and waiting for results. I may have to drive up and check it out. I was up there a couple weeks ago, he had a CTS-V that had a flex fuel sensor added and he did his magic to it. He's been great help to me and will get mine as soon as i get it done. LOL

Don't give up, I've been in your shoes with mine and just have to step back and breath every now and then. This ONE is getting finished.

 

Friend of mine, and a member on here (who knows may even pop up in this thread lol) had some work done by Lashway and was absolutely f*cked. He ended up wasting a LOT of money. Can't say I blame you for staying away man.
