I learned when it rains it pours but I'm going to give vsr a chance to correct this and get me up and running.. Being self employed it actually cost me to take time and days at a time to work on my car...

Vsr is going to have the car picked up this sat morning and they are supposed to install a rear main seal and break in the new motor they built, install the 1000cc injectors then tune it. Trust me people I'm very very skeptical but from this point on their @ss is on the line... Stay tuned..

Sorry to hear that. Did you buy bad gas somewhere or what? I can tell you when I get mine back I will not be running mine when the heat index is 110 degrees....

I was feeling the same way when my Stillen build started to run way over what I had planned as far as time and money but it was well worth it when it was done, then felt that way AGAIN when I blew my motor due to my own idiocy.

But now going back together with a new built block it's so well worth it again, you'll get that feeling back once you get over the humps.

I'm in the same situation as you are ... I'm on "Build (Again) #2" - but this time starting off with a built motor...
Got pretty bummed when the motor blew after the 1st build, trying to eek out more performance from the Stillen kit.

The Stillen kit worked pretty good until I got that itchin' for more speed at the track.

I'm working on putting up a thread/post detailing the trials and tribulations I've had to face and overcome along the way.
It is kind of funny in a way tho'
