Right now, we're documenting everything, and just going through the motions. We need to be prepared for any and all scenarios. We definitely want to go in with tons of pics and data to back up claims.

This car will run the Texas Mile this fall with the Boost Works team. So, our focus right now is getting it right for that.

This totally sucks you won't be doing the build as intended.

I pretty much know every shop around here and there are some definite shit holes. Sorry this happened.

Not sure why this was moved to vendor feedback.. It's a build thread. I was just showing the carnage before it's rebuilt.

Yeah.. No choice now but to try to rebuild, but it won't be anywhere near what we were originally shooting for.

I would be filing a lawsuit ASAP thats just ridiculous. This is part of the reason I am hesitant to even mess with my motor. Best of luck with the rebuild OP.

I feel sick after reading these posts about your build. I am sorry man. I wish there were something I could do for you. If this was my car I would be in prison buy now.

If you do not sue these people then you are not doing yourself or your community a service.

Feel free to PM me what shop/ people had hands in this disaster so I can be sure to avoid them.

I think I can help you out with your cam. My stroker motor will be delivered to me next week, it will have an ECS Big Blower camshaft (238/234 on a 114 I believe). I'm keeping my night fury cam. So if you want that blower cam I will make you a hell of a deal on it. It's coming from FSP.

Just let me know. and good luck with everything!
