Speaking of bad experiences, what ever happened to Outlaw Motorsports? I remember hearing some bad stories about them.

Since when is it acceptable to bring in a car with 7 injectors plugged in, one plug cross threaded, and one with a closed electrode? And since they didn't feel comfortable continuing spinning your MONSTER 326rwhp cam'en 6.0L and wanted you to have it checked out, "not charge you to check it out" and then bring it back for them to finish is it OK to bash a shop that had your ingnorant asses best interest in mind?

All 8 injectors were plugged in, they even said so themselves...The little clip was missing but the guy came out and said it never unplugged itself.

As for the plugs, that was stupid. A friend of his did that side and did that, and he had no idea because he couldn't start the car with the new injectors. That's why he never even brought those up and had no problem paying the 120$ to get them replaced(plus the 75 to run the tap through the head)...Because it was a ******* stupid mistake.

The problem was they said it was burning oil badly and making all sorts of horrible noises, which simply isn't the case at all. They wouldn't even let him see his car on the dyno...Which had me wanting to load it right back up from the get go...That's BS. They're in back beating on your car, and you gotta sit in the lobby? Yeah, ok.

They got my buddy's STS car to make 500 at the wheels(12 bolt and an AOD) with a stock LS1 motor and 8.75 psi of boost. Then the sts oil return pump died and wrecked the seals in the turbo...Otherwise he wanted to up it to 10-11 psi and see what it would do.

And what part of the insurance doesnt cover non employees back there does everyone not understand? As for in not doing what Speed said, if you never even started the car, how can you see what it was doing at WOT? If everything is ok why does it only make 326rwhp? As for the A/F read the chart again, it was between 12.0-13.8 during the run. So any other bullshit slander anyone would like to spew? Sad thing is I'll give odds this guys is at Speeds open house eating they're free pizza.
