Total BS right there... no one got banned.. When you come in posting exactly like you're posting here... WTF are we supposed to do leave it all there, talk about a dumb *** trying to get his point accross. I refer people to a lot of shops based on where they live and what they need done. I'll shoot you a thread over on H-Town where I referred G-Force in the middle of everyone else saying ARD. Referred someone else to LMR last week for a gear swap. This was a horrible accident and we've been modding these cars for a couple years now with zero issues. You guys follow it and you know it. But you're still waiting to pounce on anything bad you hear. Others are right, it was bound to happen as we start pushing into 600+ range no matter what shop. I got to 610 and backed off it after my last race in Phoenix... I was at LMP, but you didn't see my car there, so don't think this incident has changed my views any, it just confirms I was pushing a limit I didn't feel comfortable pushing.
Randy you know better... they need our money... we don't need theirs, the same as any business. I'm sure we'll get a chance to discuss later.

one of your admins banned me and deleted my post then i was not even bashing them i was just trying to share my experience with these crooks and i basically got kicked in the nuts for trying to help yall out.
And by the way LMR is literally 5 min from A.R.D. i think the extra 5 min is definitely worth not having you car blow up.....

I never realized there was so much ARD hate on LS1Tech. Honestly, I've not really read much about them, good or bad, in the last decade here. Besides, you can't blame the shop when the customer is who wanted to push that much power through a stock longblock. Kabooms happen, regardless of shop. If some of you are just using this as an opportunity to bash ARD, then grow the hell up. Those complaining about being banned on other sites, your posts are pretty evident of how you probably acted over there. Just sayin'

The basic point of it all is really not just focused on this wreck. What everybody is really getting at is that at EVERY Midnight 1320, ARD either blows a motor, catches on fire, or wrecks in spectacular fashion. Their cars almost never make it all the way down the track, and YES that does include MINE when ARD was working on it and I brought it out to Sealy with ARD for an event and Owen had the nitrous and tune ALL fucked up. I got real lucky and didn't blow my motor that day. It never fails with them

I know when I started my build I was thinking mid 500's, would be just perfect, but after seeing so many of these LS3's go deep into the 600's with a ton of track time under their belts I started to get greedy too, especially when you have healthy competition among friends...

Good thing the driver is ok, the car can be replaced. I'd suggest building a block that can handle that power first instead of just throwing boost at a stock block than barely handle a cam in some instances . . . and maybe a better shop to look out for your safety instead of your wallet, my .02
