With my dogbox transmission builder, I gave him %50 down, he collected all the parts and built the transmission. When I sent him the final payment, BAM, it shipped out. Isn't that how it is supposed to go?
If someone doesn't send the final payment, the company has the down payment money, and the parts.... right??

Yeah that's a long time to have to wait. They must be crazy busy. I agree I would think with the down payment they would start the work then when you paid it off it should be shipped out thts they way I would think it would go.
What's the set up you are going to have?

Should be good, everyone else seems to think it will be, again, if in a couple weeks he isn't still waiting to get a cam a month after I paid fully.
Don't have a clue what size cam I am getting, but I guess it isn't normal.

Sounds about right from AI. I wouldnt give them my business if they were the last head porters on earth. In a nutshell...Phil is a POS and if you see this Phil, up yours.
You got the original thread deleted because your a paying sponsor but looks like you didnt get out of this one yet.

Really? Yea thats because they get the bad stuff about them deleted. Your a mod, you should be able to look at my old thread about me and another sellers thread where AI f-ed up. Of course they got it deleted. Just like they will probably have this deleted.

senical I remember the thread clear as day. It wasn't deleted to hide anything. It was deleted b/c it no longer served it's purpose. At all.
My comment was directed at the results of the heads themselves, not someone having customer service issues with used heads that couldn't be worked, and needing to pay for AI's time and expense to tell you such.
Let's go back to arguing about ram air....

I know you, the dude you bought heads from, and the OP seem to be having some problems but the results do speak for themselves Joe. Theres no way AI dyno result threads get screened when they dont make power.. From an outsider looking in, you ran the risk when getting used heads plain and simple. AI wasnt exactly right in their stance but it all worked out in the end didnt it?
Go ahead. Stick up for the big sponsor all you want. I expected it. I expect others to as well. People will continue to suck the sponsors *** until it happens to them!
All I know is if YOU where in my shoes when this happened you would understand and have the same viewpoint.
I posted my experience now have fun.....

LOL ssra FTW!
I'll agree to disagree. With you saying you dont know of 1 person who is not happy with them, that gives the wrong impression to people looking for opinions. Deleting the thread hides the fact that AI is shady and it hid what I had to say leading to everyone saying "oh ai is great iv never heard anything bad" ha!
No no no. HAHAHA this is what im talking about. You dont have the whole picture because it did not happen to YOU.
I really didnt care to get into this like we are. I simply wanted to POST MY EXPERIENCE AND BE DONE.
Does AI do good work? Yes
Would I give them my business? Hell no
Take care...

Wow. You just dont get the picture. Did I say they did bad work or anything about product? They do fine with product. I was simply weighing in on my experience with them. You or anyone else will not get the picture because you didnt have the emails in your maibox, they did not have YOUR money, they didnt try to get in the middle of YOUR deal with anyone else (trying to make money), YOU didnt get charged on thier invoice for "2 pictures/emails", YOU dont have the timelines where everything happened, Phil didnt call YOU a liar... ect ect ect
Go ahead. Stick up for the big sponsor all you want. I expected it. I expect others to as well. People will continue to suck the sponsors *** until it happens to them!

We'll keep it on topic after this post, but it was there. All 7 pages of it. It turned into a complete cluster **** of biblical proportions. You had naysayers on one side and nut swingers on the other. It's constructiveness went out the window quick.
Anyways, best of luck OP. I know it sucks, and you and others may be turned off in the future, but you picked one of the best stock casting head porters in the country. I'm sure everything will come to light come tomorrow.

Sending in parts to any vendor to be worked makes me cringe. One mix up and you'll be screwed or at least severely inconvenienced and set back in schedule quite a bit. I don't like that chance. In this case there was none of that involved, but still the company is built around that principle and that worries me.
