Looks like Manual's Z...
My car is going down AGAIN, due to ANOTHER motor build!
Can't really talk about it much, due to them being a paid sponsor on this site.
Have fun guys, looks like another year is gone and I still don't have what I paid for.

Mikey,
Thanks for the quality input and I have already spoken to Erik.

Brian,
We dyno'ed the motor straight from the motor builder(for the third time might I add) and it's smoking and has blow-by.
I'm just simply not going to cross my fingers and hope for the best.
Chalk it up to another lesson learned.
Hope the motor builders enjoy my hard earned money,
because they will never in my life see another cent of it...

Thanks Dan, yea...it's been $$$ down the drain(so it seems) and a lost year(considering I've been fooling with this motor since before summer).
At least Josh saw firsthand who NOT to spend your hard earned $$$ with.

I haven't mentioned any sponsor's names on here, but you guys know who built my motor.
In a perfect world that might happen Nate.
Like I said, I can't really get into it much on here(due to them being a paid sponsor on here), but everyone that knows me personally...knows I'm a 100% honest individual and will do whatever I can to help someone.
I just wish I could say the same thing for the motor builders.
The motor builders have tried to make it right(by paying for parts only).
I still had to pay shipping to and from Houston and also labor for all the motor pulls...not to mention I got a motor that blows smoke and some more bills coming for another motor pull and a complete rebuild on a brand new motor.


My advice is to spend your money wisely folks...I tried, but I definately feel like I got burned in the long run.

Would have been cheaper to just cut your losses and take it to a reputable engine builder in DFW. Good luck with it Justin.

I gaurantee he would be smiling right now if Erik had taken care of him. That man stands behind his work more than most in the LSX community. Have you noticed all the positive praises Erik receives? He is highly reputable.

Good luck Justin.... we all know that you are not to blame and don't deserve the quality of work you paid for. Unlike some folks (like me) you have been able to pay top dollar for the best parts, it doesnt make sense that you would have quality issues.....
