Maybe JDM has a new shop truck if you know what i mean.

I would definantly talk to someone about a settlement of the funds.
If someone told me that it was gonna take 4 - 6 weeks and i paid them right away and it was 6 months later i would be upset to not get atleast some sort of discount on the labor.

 

rafa i feel your pain dude ive done my truck like this and it took 4 months of headaches and frustration and tons of money but it'll all work out that motor alone will put out a good extra 140 rwhp on just the motor. mine put down 425 rwhp and 411 rwtq and thats with only 12-14 degrees of timing advance and on 8 psi 91 octane.good luck

 

Rafa, did you have anything in writting with JDM?

Regardless, I wish you the best of luck getting your truck back and laying some fat rubber patches down on the streets!

 

theres something not right there, it doesn't take 4-6 months to build a motor, since this is there daily job!

 

I treated them with all my respect since the beginning. I think i am the type of guy which is rare to find at these days, honest and friendly. 99% of the time when you act with people like that, trying to build a true friendship they just think you are less inteligent than them or just one more ******* on their path and they can play with you anyway they want.

I am sad and i feel bad guys, i would like to be here telling you all that my truck was ready and rocking and rolling but that's the truth.

 

are all the parts in and ready to be installed

 

Sorry to hear this Rafa. I hope it will all be worth it when it's done. Have they given you any status updates? It sounds as if they are close, I wonder what the hold up is? I think I'd ask them what kind of reciprocation you will receive due to the extended time they had your truck. I wouldn't expect much though.

Make sure to keep us updated!

 

So who ended up doing your transmission ?

 

New trans and new engine are installed but there is a lot more involved.

 

What are kind of 1/4 mile times are you shooting for? or ar you even gonna try a run down the 1/4?

My guess is around 12.00 sec.

 

Just a little to lean of a tune and you can kiss the engine goodbye. Even the strongest of motors can blow with detenation.

 

Didn't you see some of the earlier posts where some people were predicting 9's? Or the ones claiming to outrun Z06 Vettes and Vipers? Come on man! If you are going to make a prediction, at least make it unrealistic.

 

thats what i was thinking

the engine is rated at 1200HP come on!

 

That's rated 1500HP.

 

yeah, thats what i said, 1500HP come on 12 seconds? haha
