Had to text to get an update, so as of today the main rear seal is finally in there now. They still have to top off the tranny fluid, bleed the clutch, recharge the a/c system, install the 1000cc injectors and tune it. Also mate my exhaust with the gtm 3" downpipes. Fingers crossed guys, I feel like one of my children is in surgery..

I had to send bobby a text to just check on the progress of my but to be honest shouldn't they be following up with me since this ordeal isn't my fault. Am I not the one being inconvenienced here but to now be blown off knowing my car is in someone else's hands? Sorry guys but at this point I'm really worried because I even emailed bobby cliff notes on the car just to make sure nothing was over looked like the oil level and the fuel pressure at idle needing to be at 52 psi since the venture jet had to be drilled out. I may be an alcoholic before this whole ordeal is over!!!

Bobby called me this morning to give me a verbal update on my car and I can't tell you how much better I feel. Like I said before the main seal is in and he actually cranked it up. He said it idle fine enough though he hasn't adjusted the fuel pressure and idle yet and the car would be on the dyno Thursday. Will be sure to post up a dyno..

Got a call this evening on my car and they cranked the car and let it idle for an hour and adjusted the fuel pressure to 52psi. He said it idled nice and smooth so tomorrow and Thursday he is going to put some miles on it before getting the 1000cc injectors in there before hitting the dyno on Thursday. The dyno will session will be recorded and the dyno posted up. It's put up or shut up time people.. Any dyno estimates? I'm hoping for just over 600whp at around 15-16 psi with that compression ratio..
