Dam man that totally sucks your going through that. I don't blame you, I would want it perfect too. After spending all that money you want to at least get what you paid for. Screw the dyno. They are a waste of money anyway. Ten different dynos will give you ten different results. The tail will be told at the track. Then there is no question. Best of Luck getting everything resolved.

Myra at this point I just wanted the motor to get it In the car, the chassis shop is backed up like everything else. I just keep telling myself it will all be worth it when I crank it for the first time

It’s all packaged back up and ready to go back to LME on Monday.






After waiting 4 months the oil tank finally arrived!

Good things happen to those that are patient and wait. First time you rip on that bad boy you will forget any negative **** that has happened. It will definitely be worth the wait.. if you have anything else left to do, concentrate on that. That bad boy will be back soon.

Do yourself a favor and replace the wet/oil stained cardboard with a dry one. Some part time minimum wage LTL guy will flag it HM leaking and cause more issues. Also mark on paperwork and on the shrink wrap "DO NOT STACK".

Have you guys seen the video on how that tank works off their website? It is pretty impressive to say the least. Imo that set up is the best on the market.

Yea I'm not overly impressed with how they handled this build, I expected more. I did talk with Bryan and they are picking the motor back up and taking care of it.

sucks on the damage but hang in there. Built is getting closer to being thru and the play time will begin.

Nice I hope the 2 more times it has to get shipped there’s no more damage, LME “should” package it better.

It was actually the second time. The pallet on the side is how it got to me. After going back and forth I'm just going to have a local shop check it all out and be done with it. Learned just lesson from ordering from a vendor.

Funny thing is if they shipped it in a full size pallet 99% of this could be avoided.. just my 2 cents
