Default Finally my ARE ordeal is over

In the last 90 days I received a new LS2 427 for my Z06 and a substantial amount of cash from Nick Agostino.Between the engine and cash I got back around $30,000.Needless to say it suprised the hell out of me in a good way.


Nick,while I still feel this should have never happened in the first place you did go the extra mile to clean up a HUGE mess made in your absence.I hope that you never allow this to happen to anyone else.I think it would be great if you guys could achieve the level of success you had way back when.


Considering the 3.5 yrs of hell I went through I won't be sending you the Jesel solid lifters and belt drive like I said I would a couple months ago.I can't bring myself to send you this stuff and turn around and spend $3,000 to replace them,given the situation.I will be using them in my W2W turbo motor.I do have your dry sump system and TH400 if you want them.I also have some odds and ends left over from the pile of parts I got from you guys last yr that I will send to you.

John,Tony I'm even with Nick.I have no opinion on if they should be allowed to sponsor here again or not.

Don't forget to put a autoworx 427 in your sig!!
Dave I plan on changing my sig and getting the car on the dyno soon.I was supposed to dyno Sunday morning but the new found steam broke my tranny Thursday night.

I think the 100+ 6000 rpm clutch dumps at the track took there toll on my drivetrain.The new engines extra 200 hp finished it off.

The new engine has 1,000 miles on it and the coolant and oil are staying where there suppposed too.Engine runs real strong and feels like 550 rwhp according to my butt o meter.
