Hey guys I know you are all curious on what it will be like, but don't call Jim asking. There have been about 9 or 10 guys who have called.
I should be picking it up this weekend, I will let you know how it runs. Then I am getting it Dynoed on the 30th, and will post the numbers. Then in April the track opens, and will post some new faster times.

Well here is a update.
It is still not done, I talked to Jim this morning he tells me he is priming the motor and should be starting it this morning. Maybee I can get it tomorow, I don't know I can wish can't I?
All I can say I have no idea what is going on, it was supposed to be done by the end of Feb. I know it will be totally awesome when it gets done, I am starting to wonder if this was worth all the agrivation.
All I can say is I am going nuts.

I know what you are going through... I have watched it all too offten. But I can say in the long run you will be happy... It takes time to get things done right.

All I know is when you pay some one $10,000.00 you should at least call them back, and not to tell them to stop bothering them. When I talked to him at 9:30 this morning he told me he was priming it up, and hooking up his data logging equioment, and would call me when it was up and running. Well it is now 7:00PM and once again no call.
I am getting frustrated, I was told I would have it by the Superbowl, then by the end of Febuary, then a week ago, and then by this friday, now who knows. I don't know how many times I was told next week, or within two weeks.
It looks like I have to drive or fly there Monday to see whats up myself. He has had it since Dec 16th.

I know a guy who had to wait on his car for five months... He was getting a Vortech'd 4.6L DOHC put into his Mustang. He spent 18,000 on the the driveline being built/strengthened. But when he finally got it and was able to drive it, he was so happy he was beside himself. The car ended up putting just short of 700HP on the ground. The car sounded absolutely wicked on the Dyno... But as far as I know, a year and a half later, it is still running strong with not one problem.
Jim just called
I guess he had a problem with another truck, someone had a emegency. he had to run out of his shop and forgott his cell phone.
I guess i should have waited to post this, but to late now.
My engine is running and I will get it this week.
I guess I owe Jim a appology.

This tops it all Viper fans.... I'm the customer of John Hennessey's that paid for a Venom 650 package plus Brembo Racing brakes, a Penske 2 way suspension , and roll bar but only received about $11,000 of a $38,000 order in an 8 month span. I know you all are tired of the posts but please read on, it gets pretty interesting.
I planned a trip to California for pleasure on a private jet and was told we had to stop in Houston for fuel so I thought I might stop in at HMS to see for myself the man that ripped me off and what his plans to settle up were face to face. I called ahead of time and left a message under a different name as a new customer so John would show up, when we got there his mechanic said to come back in an hour so we went for lunch and came
Back. I brought a video camera so I could get the meeting on tape, when John showed up he saw new customers and $$$$$ so he put on his "Good Ole Boy" smile and welcomed us in. Once inside he notice the camera and asked me to turn it off , I said no and then told him who I really was and that I wanted a straight up answer what he planned to do. You should have seen his face, like deer in headlights he had nothing to say except get out or he would call the police. I refused and demanded an answer but John just stood there like a gutless man and would not talk and called the cops for trespassing. So after repeated non-threatening attempts to get him to talk he asked me and my brother-in-law if we were gay , I replied "Yeah and I'm gonna throw you over that car and f*ck you up the azz like you have been f*cking me for 8 months" , little did I know that comment would be considered a "TERRORISTIC THREAT" , (one of John famous claims) anyway we decided to wait for the police so I could report him for theft , we waited 40 minutes for the cops to come and when they finally came I ran out of tape in the camera and missed the most unbelievable part. The cop listened to John’s side of the story first and said he would hear us after, that didn't happen once John told him about the so-called "Terroristic Treat" within minutes we were both in cuffs in the back of the police car under arrest for trespassing and terroristic threat. The cop would not hear our side and told us we were going to jail and wouldn't even watch the tape, we tried to reason with him but his last name was Walker and he thought he was Chuck Norris Texas Ranger," you’re in cuffs, in my car, I'm writing, and you’re goin to jail". After sitting outside HMS in cuffs for over 30 minutes we were on our way to the Houston City Jail, my camera was taken by the arresting office and we were sent to booking. Two white boys from Florida with a Bullpoopie arrest , we were shuffled around , stripped of our belongings , finger printed and sent to a holding cell full of non- white- non Florida boys that were all under arrest for real crimes , drug dealers , buyers , thieves , assault , and a murderer to top it off. After 10 hours in jail and a few phone calls later we posted bail for $1,500 and back on the street at 2 in the morning with an impounded rental
Car, no change of clothes and no bed. It is now 12:30 pm and we are in flight to California looking back at the day and planning our next trip back to Houston. We went from the Penthouse to the poopiehouse in less than 3 hours but now were back in the Penthouse and Hennessey bought some time but the fact remains Johnny still owes $27,000 and if it costs me 10 times that in lawyer fees I will make sure Hennessey gets the same smelly *** cell that I got.
P.S. "Mr. Crack sellin Murderer what do you do when a fat little red headed Viper tuner thief gets put in YOUR holding cell? (In my best Chris Rock voice) The first thing I do is make ‘em TOSS MY SALAD!!!
What do you prefer John? Jelly or Syrup..????

Hey Don,
I can come by and give you a ride if you're Jonesin' for a ride in an L. Sure, it won't be the same, but I know a really, really steep downhill road we can hit that will help me *maybe* get up to your L's new acceleration.....
Hang in there. I know how frustrating it must be, but:
- Think of all the gas money you saved
- Your van isn't as bad as a 1975 Gremlin
- It allows me to have the fastest L for a little while within the Waltham/Newton area!
- You're better off not driving that monster with all the sand and crud on the road around here (are you buyin' this?)
- George
