Should have a problem finding transmission parts considering Joe stole all of those transmissions back in 05-07 from you tech members.

I thought it was Ironic as well. They said they went to pick up a trans that was supposed to be built but when they looked at it, it turned out to be stock... LMAO!

Didnt you all let him tune for yall all these year? Kinda ironic he was god when he was there, but soon as he leave the story changes? Does this mean all the customers from the past need to bring there car back and get a free retune? Since according to you he pop's them? More ironic is it seems like you have to be a crook to start a shop in Houston, since most of the owners have that in there background.

The Datalog showed the 427 turning 8900 rpm in the timing trap. SAM thought about changing from the 3.20 gear they were running, but they elected not to and just run her out. Good decision. That's a well built engine for sure.
