I got some work done over there before but never had a problem like that (guy did seem cocky though). You should ask him again and then listen you what he tell you, then tell me that you called the manfacturer yourself. I will not go over there anymore but why shreve automotive?

This is why I don't mind paying 5-10% more at a reputable shop (Vengeance, etc) versus counting dimes at a lesser place. The service and quality of work can't be matched. And you KNOW you're getting what you pay for.
Good luck man, like the other guy said best you can do is just call again

Yes that what i hear about rodger and donnie. Steve was the one everone i've talked to, that they had a problem with. I think if you were to look up R&D machine they could probaly help you out in contacting steve.

oh and nick i took my motor apart that you fly cut you miss cut a few pistons but ill take my lick because i race your buddys (stupid on my part) motor is DEAD.do i think you did it to to hurt me well in a way yes and no maybe you just used the wrong head to make cuts like TSP said it just cost me a whole motor rite! oh and a powersteering pump lol
First off this job was done under a totally different company Need For Speed owned by Ray Feaucheaux and has nothing to do with LSXmotorsports. Second i was there when these pistons were being flycutted they were cut to the size valves you specified. The car was dropped off with no intake and was torn down and flycutted by Nick, it was NOT reassembled by Nick. What cc heads were the ones you installed, what head gaskets did you use, you asked him to fly cut the pistons to your specifications. He did not order your combo, your heads or head gaskets so he wouldnt know what caused the problem. He was paid only to cut the pistons to the valve size you specified not to reassemble. The car ran and drove fine even at high rpm's on the dyno, didn't break till you started beating on the car, racing it, am i correct? Whats to say you didnt have a weak spring or break one and a valve hit the piston DID you have the right springs retainers ect., for that cam the MS4? How would he know? Needless to say this was at a totally different company, but having the customer service we have bring it buy and we will help you out anyway we can. You cannot hold anyone responsible for a blown motor that ran fine made dyno passes then blows when you beat on it. Nick is NOT responsible for a blown motor he didnt assemble, how many ARP head bolts were broken during install how many times did it go to the machine shop because of faulty assembly? If you have gears installed in a 10 bolt then put slicks on the car and broke it who is responsible? As for the comment about you racing our friends there is no issue we dont care who you beat or race Travose and Brick have cars that run in the 12's they just hook and go and they can drive, i have seen both cars make passes on the track and neither busted out the 12's
Also what happened at the dyno didnt you blow trans fluid all over and jeff told you to bring the car back for a tune when you had it right? So in other words you made 2 passes and still decided to take the car and race it not knowing, did the car detonate??? Sounds like a incident i stated above, 10 bolt. Who is responsible?

Ok pete first by you making threatning comments its not going to get you anywear. I did not say i was giving you a short block. I said i would talk it over with my business partner. Now if my cuts were the fault of your motor blowing your motor would have never made it past start up and you would have never drove it back and forth from baton rouge. You did not blow your motor until you went to race moe with an un tunned car. Also from the time you picked the car up from my house i told you make sure you check your piston to valve clearance and if anything would have been wrong i would have made sure you had piston to valve clearance. By the way this happened 2 months ago and your just now calling me. I can only go so far but this is on you. threating me and getting stupid with me is going to get you nowear. On a high mileage ls1 by cutting the pistons you are making them weak. You also failed to tell me that you had nitrous on the car have you ever herd of overreving and floating a valve. Happens all the time. i have full backing from texas speed on this issue with your motor. its a high performance apllication and stuff does break.
