it was never about the motor. Its about you lied to me and my cousin. It was not rpe's!
Ok, well, Not much else I can say here. Going back and forth, nothing is changing. It has become absolutely obvious what the agenda is here. Enough info has surfaced to convince me where this began and why. This has been going on before you came into the picture Joey and you became the poster child. Like you, I'm not stupid either. You were coached well and it's obvious, I have asked you several times after you made statements about your engine and you back away reverting back to the lie BS. In the end I ask you to prove your statements... can you? Because if you can't, then we may have some bigger problems on the horizon. You just said I lied to your cousin too... funny, I spoke with him recently and all he wanted to say was he "knows nothing" "it was between me and you." But then you and he both know that wasn't true as you just verified he was in on our conversations, like I've said from the beginning, but then he couldn't possibly get involved. Now, I am sure he will have to come out of the closet and support you.. in spite of the fact he was in on the decision to bring the motor to RAD for a quick diagnosis..
Jack told me it was done by RPE it was not and then made up some stories to make me look like the liar
this statement above says it all for me... since I absolutely know that statement was never made by me....... so whatever you think you look like.... you brought it on and said it.. not me. I have actually tried to give you benefit of the doubt, not now...
There is lots of back pedaling here on so called factual statements when the statements prove to not be beneficial to the agenda. I don't think anyone reading this at this point needs to be an engine builder, a tuner, or for that matter car owner to see what's going on. There is no reason for me to respond here any longer based on what has been posted. You and Lenny were wheeler dealers when I met you, looking for your best deal, (nothing wrong with that) but when it came time to pay or pick up your car you chiseled me.... that was wrong and now, I see you using your skills to get your best deal again.... You've said it yourself here, you paid $16,000 for a $17,271 bill. Hmmmmm what happened to the other $1,000. For those reading this, in case you were wondering what he paid for .... how bout, a complete FAST XFI, an electronic boost controller, according to Otto, a ****ty HP sucking Art Carr convertor, a 66-S-BB turbo upgrade- nc, a custom dual remote cannister breather kit, roller cam kit, diamond pistons, K1 rods, billet center main caps, external 3" down pipe, RG45 ext. wastegate, Champion valve covers, TD roller rockers, HR poly motor mount kit, Cometic head gaskets, push rods, 1" intake spacer, 4" polished cold air kit, Champion billet fuel rail kit, Griffin custom aluminum radiator, Red Top battery, 72lb sieman injector and more... do the math, there is over $10,500 in parts, 2500 in sublet and 3600 in labor, which amounted to about 3 weeks of labor, many times 2 guys working on it and 600 in tax, since I am a legitimate business.
I would also like to add, this car was running for over 4 months before Joey picked it up. At which time we spent road testing on and off, fixing, adjusting and working through this combo to give Joey exactly what he wanted in street performance, as we were told he planned to do street driving and racing. He wanted a car with big power he could drive on the street, did I build it for max HP and put the car on the edge... nope, not what he asked for. He wanted a quick spooler he could have fun with. After much street work, when I felt the car was what Joey wanted, I gave it back to him.. The 5-6 months Joey had it, no complaints, after dyno tuning, at least one trip to the track.. that we know of.... not sure how many passes, since that number has changed 2 or 3 times, more tuning and a new tranny, the main bearings are hurt.... it's been implyed here by a few the line bore was the problem. Pretty ridiculous assumption, based on the "agenda". 8 month old motor, properly tuned and run, suddenly lost all the main bearings.... no doubt something happened, but I and most any engine builder can tell ya,... a bad line bore on a motor will lose oil pressure in about 10 minutes run time.... I'm pretty sure it was run longer than that and had good oil pressure as stated here by Otto shortly before losing the main bearings.. This thread has not been just about who built Joeys motor, it has been filled with inuendoes throughout... politely posted.... just to clarify.
And now I see when things are getting tough.... we call in the troops.. Hi Mike, you have posted some truth there, just too bad you had to jazz it up and not to mention leave out a few things. Like I working for about 18 hours straight until my eyesballs fell out the 1st nite... or the fact that you did indeed have many issues under your hood that needed to be straightened out and you knew it when I showed you. Was there a problem with the work I did other than the tuning battle I had with what turned out to be a corrupted disc from FAST on my laptop. The fact is, had that not happened, this post would never have happened. Your car was put together correctly when I was done and although you had a beautiful car, there were many areas that were pretty hacked up under the hood and dash. I was guilty of a pizza box on your car once!! And you are absolutely right, it never should have been there. I was guilty of not being there, of going brain dead as I had planned to go to Atco, to tune on a customer, Bill Z's car, didn't know I wasn't supposed to take my car... And lastly Mike, I did call you many times and offer my apologies for screwing up and as you stated, I was ready to get in my truck and drive to Canada to fix the tune up as we finally figured out the FAST files and disc were corrupted. But you held me off. Like you said, out of the clear blue someone offered to help you in the spring at BG. After that, you did share your anger on TBS, so wasn't much for me to say to you in person as you made your feelings known. And by the way, I believe we put the new XFI in from the beginning, not after you left the car here. You were here while we worked throughout the evening to get it running right..the 1st nite..
So can you tell me again where I "shafted" you. I think we both covered what went wrong, and it is inexcusible on my part, but to say I shafted you is not fair. I could not have known the data I was working with on the screen was corrupted..untill having the same problem with the next car we installed the new XFI on.. I treated you fairly with your parts purchases, I did good work at a fair price, I accommodated you and your wife, and I thought you came down the first time with a male friend.. but that doesn't matter. If you feel a need to hammer me and if this makes you feel better, not much else I can say and hopefully this will make a few other guys here look more credible.
That's all I have, been working on this since I got home from work at 7pm tonite.. g'nite
