Really glad this build is coming together.

Thanks bud. And I've had to settle going to HMP this last Sunday and run 1/8 mile. But at least getting it dialed in. Another .10 faster in 1/8 translates to 9 sec 1/4

Nah, just replace the whole motor. That's the safest route!

Somebody start a GoFundMe for lcrosss! I'm sure there's plenty of people on this forum alone that would happily throw in a few dollars for the cause. I'd offer labor but you prob don't want it. LOL.

It's finally all coming together!

docrocket1967 · 08-01-2015, 05:15 PM

sorry to hear about your experience i went through a very similar situation. I do all my own work but at the time i needed my car finished and wasnt a whole lot left. Ended up getting screwed on something that was so simple abd should have done myself. Then went on to tuneing and got screwed there too i fealt.

docrocket1967 · 08-01-2015, 05:16 PM

Cant wait to see yours finished though

ThaCamaroKid · 08-31-2015, 12:03 PM

Man I cannot believe this...

I feel for you here man... Reading this I could feel my heart sinking, But once I got to the new block I can imagine how you're starting to feel now!

I didn't read everything but from what I understand, LSX Turbo in the works?

TSP Block? what are the specs of it and who's doing the build now? (I didn't see any shop named) They seem to be doing to right whoever it is. Best of luck with this, I'm excited to see the silver lining in this project!

& Congrats on COTW! You deserve this, can't wait to see this baby put together!
