jamie i see they keep saying you used the wrong plugs. which plugs did you use and which plugs should you have used? i ask because i know someone using nitrous to make more power in his zl1 and i dont want him to make the same mistake. thanks

It's been eating the ZR1 plugs ever since the nitrous.

Needs a non projected tip colder plug.

Jamie - Sorry to hear about this. I have not been on in awhile. We should swap stories some time.

Good luck with the rebuild and C7. Matt will take good care of you.

Jamie I heard breakup sex is really good. You going to give it a try.

Supercharged SS · 10-24-2013, 08:52 AM

I've been informed by Ted that he is pushing to have this thread deleted.

All I've done is told the truth. I've lost 4 motors in four years. I've never once bad mouthed JRE or Ted. I still think the world of them and just felt it was time for a change.
I push my stuff hard. It's going to break at some point. I've accepted that as part or drag racing.

Please be honest and let me know if i have crossed the line.

Thank you

Supercharged SS · 10-24-2013, 08:57 AM

And let it be know that Ted has reached out to fix the car at no cost to me. I don't want anyone to think that he's slammed the door in my face. He hasn't.

Even at the risk of spending more money I just wanted a change.

Not at all. You simply stated the fact that the motor went boom again because of the wrong plugs....again. You never mentioned anything about JRE until someone asked you about it. Even then you were very courteous about saying it was just time to move on and "explore new options"

On top of that, you had a moderator throw a comment in here that was supporting you and nothing about bashing any company. Simple as that. There are no grounds to close this thread. This isn't even a vendor review.

There's no doubt Ted is good at what he does. No one is arguing that fact especially since he is owning up to fix the problem. You just decided it was time for a change of plans. That's all.

Thanks Chris. I didn't think I crossed the line. If other consumers read stuff on the Internet and make their decisions than that is their choice.

This is about my car. A car that we have all followed since day one. Nothing more nothing less.

Not a vendor review by any means.

Padre · 10-24-2013, 09:06 AM

I think the exchange in this thread has shown both you and Ted to be adult, professional and honest.

This thread has been mild compared to the flame-fests you read elsewhere on the 'Net. That is a credit to the members of Camaro5 and the mods.

The thread is useful because 1) it keeps vendors thinking about customer service, and 2) it instructs us average Joes on the questions to ask and things to watch out for.

Keep pushing Jamie! You're an inspiration and some of us are right behind you breaking sh*t too!
