Good luck bro...hope you don't come out on the bad side of things....did CXI build the whole car or does it just have their heads on it? I didn't even know they had their own heads...I just figured they used GTP's or someone elses & resold em...but then again anyone get get a die grinder & grind on stuff.

[QUOTE=ZL1SS]I wish you the best but from what I know from a very reputable source that car has alot of issues!! I would bet money that it does not have the LS6 casting heads on it anymore because the CXI fairy probably switched them for LS1 heads. The car does not have all the work they claim and it has had alot of problems if it is the same car, but I'm sure he has done tons of them ANYWAYS STAY THE F$&# AWAY FROM ANYTHING THAT EVER TOUCHED PHIL'S HANDS OR ANYTHING WITH A CXI STICKER. When was the last time you saw a French guy win at drag racing?? He is a career criminal who has chosen automobiles as his tool. Hopefully the car is in good working order now and you will have no problems with it. Good luck!!

No No, I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at what BADZ said about that Phil character.

yeah, phil didn't really run his red vette after the accident in the yellow C5. I think he kinda quit putting everything he had into it at that point. It was a beast at one point, but not sure if he kept upgrading the motor or not. I know it was rebuilt a couple times, and I wouldn't doubt that it was a smaller motor on the later builds.

He CAN do very good work, and there were some awesome cars that came from that shop, but that's not ALWAYS the case.

My motor still runs very well and I have definatly put it through it's paces, although it is NOT what he said it was going to be.
