If you see a midnight blue with tinted windows in Henderson wave back.

i USED to like flashing my lights (daytime), old boy, at oncoming zeds, feelin' all comradery, butt, not so much anymore...either zee-er peeps are too busy paying attention to the traffic at hand or my lights are out...

just make it a point to never QUIT "kidding" yourself, no matter the age...stay young at heart and in spirit...and remember: at 40 THINGS WILL CHANGE!...adjust your diet and perhaps your appetite accordingly...beer will not so much be your "bud" anymore..SIGH...

luv, papa john

So, opinions... Octet really wants my SC kit. I really think I just need to run a couple tests and retune for everything to be rock solid again. It would be huge PITA, but there are cheaper ways to make the same power. If I decide to sell, I would only do it if I can move to another kit with little to no additional costs. What should I do?

I would try to tune it and see if your happy. If you can get it where you like it why go thru changing it?

CC...i've no experience w/vettes (thou i'm one...) butt, i understand the very newest one is da bomb (exception, maybe, taillights...see camaro...)

i've always thought it was easily the prettiest designed american car...classic, steam-lined, race-ready...however, interior inferior and that's where it "gets" me...older now and mellower and never having been thru the race-by-the-seat-0'-your-pants platoon whence younger, i loved me some zed cockpit appointments and have since cushioned my expanded bottom to be embraced by high quality sheep-skin seat covers, thou i love good leather...

if'n you buy it i'd like to co-pilot w/u someday...

BUTT, not for long, sadly, jen/ryan...(my hats off...)

SS_Firehawk · 03-30-2014, 12:31 PM

Thanks for the opinions guys. Right now I plan on doing my tests. I only have Sat to work with. I'll be in PHX Monday. This kit should be able to push serious power. It won't make sense for me to rip it off and buy another until I do some testing to see whats going on.

I just hate that you had such unfortunate slowdowns an setbacks. GTM had your car plenty long enough so that everything was worked out and ready to go!!!

Have you contacted them about it? You shouldn't have to be doing any testing, they should have made sure it was 100% before letting you take it.

Hotrodz · 03-30-2014, 03:00 PM

I think SS has been more than patient and has shown great restraint with all the GTM bashing from those who have and haven't dealt with them. I'm not one to run down a company in public but just state my experience. I do think its time for a stern phone call and ask them to pay for the test to be done some place else and then decide it he wants to deal with them for the fix or move on. That said, either way I would be moving on since there is no guarantee and even though they are willing to fix it at their expense, I'm out a vehicle and inconvenienced. Time is money or in this case pleasure and I don't compromise on my pleasure. That is one thing that comes with age, I don't put up with BS!!!
