I orginally paid AAM for the forged VB (they get it cheaper from forged) but then once I shipped my oem VB to forged (overnite), I get a call from AAM stating that forged no long do the VB upgrade and that forged will be shipping back my stock VB back to me the following day.

At this pt I'm pissed at both Forged/AAM for pulling this crap on me when I had pmed both parties for about a wk or so regarding the VB. Now I lost 100 dollars for the overnite shipping + the downtime for my car in the shop and the rental fees. I try calling SGP but they told me that the turn around time was 2 wks and I didnt want to pay for a rental car for another 2wks or more (need it to drive to work). Only option for the fastest turnaround time was stillen (2 days) and AAM highly recommanded them bc they had done some in the past with 350z making 420hp (ya rite).

Another reason why I went with stillen was bc AAM told me that I could get the stillen at their cost and that they will pay for ALL shipping cost but didnt happen. Of course, when I got the stillen VB box I had to pay for the overnite to stillen bc aam forgot to pay stillen the shipping fees.

Now this gets better... AAM wanted to charged me around 799 for the stillen VB but when I get stillen's invoice for the VB, the total cost was only 702.12 .

As of now, AAM hasnt even tried to refund me the difference that I first paid for the forged VB and explained themselves for the over charging of the stillen VB + my cost for shipping the VB to stillen. Therefore, that is the reason why I went with the stillen.

AAM's got a nasty rep going these days...

Great #'s though (especially for a DD). Congrats

Nice number, and thats a solid looking power curve!

In regards to the VB, and our discussion over PM, I hope you understood the jam we were placed in as well. It was nothing intentional. If you need anything else, please let us know.
