Default Just got my car back! Thanks 'SUCK_MY_SS' !

Just wanted to say thanks to Shant/'SUCK_MY_SS' for put'n my baby back together. She fired up with not one single issue. This was an almost 13 MONTH odyssey for me and I'm happy to finally have her back up and running. Shant had the car for 2 months and could have finished it in just a few days but he discovered allot of parts were missing from the original tear down at the previous location of the car and helped me find and replace everything. Shant was very helpful in locating those parts for me. Not only is the end product great but Shant's ability to communicate with me about everything through the build left me with a great piece of mind. Once again, Thanks Shant for all your hard work. I really appreciate it. Great build bro!

The original build called for an LS6 core with a Forged Bottom End, Milled Heads, a 233 cam, LS6 Intake and a stall converter. In the end Shant and I discovered that it was an LS1 NOT an LS6 core after running the numbers on the core, a Cam that seems more like a 229 than a 233 for some reason(weird!), Milled Heads, Forged Bottom End, LS6 Intake and no Stall Converter. Shant had nothing to do with the few mix ups. He just completed the assembly that was originally started somewhere else.

Seems like you got the shaft, but it worked out for you in the end (did that sound brokeback?). Congrats man! Any numbers yet?

No numbers yet. I need to get my hands on a Converter and Gears before I throw her up on the dyno.

Thanks bro. I think the fairest way to put it is that my car wasn't a priority. Oh hey thanks again for giving me those parts for my car. I really appreciate it.

Seriously!! ... My hood looks like **** now! I guess thats what happens when your car bakes in the summer sun for months on end. Yea, I need to start looking for some paint shops around here. I got quoted 2k back in June by a shop but I need to see if I can find a better deal somewhere. If we do both our cars at the same time I'm pretty sure we can get an awesome deal though.

Oh, how did everything go with the tow yesterday after you left? I can't believe that you and I keep get'n the same flatbed driver!

.. Ouch!
...Hey, he may be 18 but at least he's not a dumfuck 18 year old. I'll be pissed though when he finishes his car. If he's still 18 when he finishes his car and does an 8 second pass I'm gonna walk up to him and kick him in the sack for being so lucky and scream "I Hate You!!".

No you guys are missunderstanding my "18 year old jose" comment. He usto have "17 year old jose" on his sig and I would ask him when he was going to be 18 because it seemed that he had "17 year old jose" on his sig for 2 years lol. But his birthday was a few months ago so i know hes finally 18 year old jose.

Thanks man yeah I am pretty sure its the sway bar bushings I will be getting that fixed soon then I think I will say scrap my LT's to a y-pipe (originally my plan was to get a catted y then buy an ory but now since I found out about a few smog places I think I will just get true duals and route them out the back of the car with LTs.

Look into Pacesetter Headers if you haven't already. They're cheap and pretty good quality too. Hopefully the bushings is what was causing that sound. Good luck on that.
