Answer would cause to much drama and argument. One though would be a quad disk Tilton clutch (~9-10k) Matt is saying $20k because that's what retail is on fab work and install of certain things.

RC's car is very well built, but there are a few things I would have had done differently. In the end it is a very clean car, just would rather have a UGR car for a little bit more (if you are spending that kind of money on a car you can afford to do most things as long as you aren't doing this all on a limited budget and just trying to have a cool car.

Good deal guys, you are 5 minutes from me. Hunters Creek is very nice, we looked there but the lots were not big enough for me.

Yeah it would have been good to find at least one big lot to put a building for a shop on, but that will have to be at a later day. So now that you are 5 minutes away we have no reason not to hang out and let LP teach you how to rip gears in the ZR1 Or for me to go for a ride in the 5.3 when its back!

Smartass, I don't need to have LP rip gears in the ZR1(I have no warranty) that is why I bought the other car's to beat on them when they are finished. I have 1 motor finished but the car isnt and 1 car almost finished but no motor, I can't catch a break.

When are you guys moving? Just remember Biraporetties(sp) is right across the street. You and LP can pick up the tab for us senior citizens

Yeah the spelling on that place makes no sense! I am suppose to close Wed. or Thurs. and Matt closes next Thurs. Have you all had their Sunday Brunch? If you haven't one Sunday we will have to go and I'll cover you old folks on this one! Gotta show some respect to the elders! LOL! It is awesome honestly though, basically 10am-3pm they have everything out buffet style with everything from Eggs Benedict to Pasta/Tenderloin and stuff. Mom, Matt, Lindsey and I go every so often for it.

Callies is badass, I'm not doubting Callies at all! I was just asking about the warranty Tony was talking about on the crankshaft. I've never heard of that before from any company that manufactures and sells engine parts. Especially one for a 1500whp small block.

How did they know it was a material defect? Are there other Callies Magnum XL or Dragon Slayers maybe in the same batch with the same defect? What is Callies doing about these defected cranks?

Maybe it was a defect in the casting on just that one crank. Maybe they just did it as customer service since RC's car is such a high profile build. IDK, RC told me they were replacing it...

I'm guessing you have a broken Callies crank? Otherwise, who gives a crap? LOL

For all you know, Callies could have been a sponsor on the engine build. I don't know, and don't really care.

Then why are you answering for other grown men, especially if you don't even know what you're talking about?
