We gave a guaranteed date and this motor slipped through the cracks, so we will of course honor our policy and take care of this. We are in the business of making customers happy, and helping them build fast cars. We try our best to accomplish both of these goals 100% of the time.

This same treatment goes for anyone who orders a motor. Ask for your guarantee date when you order the motor and you will have your motor on that date. Interesting concept really. Order something, get a ship date and it ships on that date. Weird and wild stuff there.
