I wouldn't say anyone is demanding for wanting their motors back loooooooooong before a year is up. But that's just me and being a woman, according to some, I may not know what I'm talking about.

Carl,
Don't sell youself short, your a tremendous jerk. But that has nothing to do with wanting a set of motors tuned around in a reasonable time. Ha ha ha ha Warhawk going to be on the water this weekend? Or are you coming North for a slow and easy ride in the woodie?

SKRAMER,
Yup, way out of line. And for the record it was 16 months not 12.

The list is too long for me to begin........why so long. For one I suppose I should start with why would an engine builder put connecting rods back in an engine after they are in a blow up and have pepper marks all over them. We did over $4500.00 worth of labor and extras for Steve to help save him money and do the job correctly. There are 3 sides to every story and it's unfortunate some people have blinders on and can't see or appreciate a good job!! I want to see this thing run more than anyone out there!! I think it will shock ya!! I really hope she goes back together, I even offered to go up and help.
