I imagine after all this you have a hard deadline regardless if your car is done, right? Theres lot of other places you can go.

Your wait time does not even come close to what I experienced---I went through a three year build process, and I just wanted to tear my hair out.

In the end Sharif finished up my car with 744whp on his dyno at 21psi. The car was/is a freaking monster and it took all of my frustration and pain away the day I received it. (Sharif did not have the car for most of that three year time period by the way).

But you are also right, that you are very likely to have issues with the car that will need to be addressed from time to time (and yes, it could blow up in 5,000 miles). You can only live without the car so long before it's not worth having it anymore. Consider staying on the conservative side of the tune unless you can afford to take your car to Atlanta anytime you need to.

Wow that is just crazy. Sorry but I would take it out of that shop and take it elsewhere. Obviously Forged doesn't have the know how to do the job right and fix the issues. I've heard MANY horror stories about that shop. Why do people keep taking cars there? There are quite a few reputable and more experienced shops out there. There is a point where you have to cut your losses and just take it elsewhere. I'm very sorry to hear of all your troubles. I wish you luck!

I guess I will take this thread into consideration during my "if I ever win the lottery" daydreams... Probably just get a GT-R.

This coming from a shop owner in MI that supports AAM. Like they haven't had any horror stories.

People keep taking their cars there, because they stand behind their work WITHOUT threads that call them out. Now you know. Good luck with your own shop. I know it must suck to have prospective customers in MI shipping their cars all the way to GA.

Guys, the car has been running now for over a week. Sorry I didn't provide an update as we've been working with the holiday schedule.

Thanks for the support!

Are you serious? That was a very ignorant statement to say the least.
