Looking good man. Your build is coming along quickly. Any flow test numbers?

Just my mounting frustration. Still waiting. He 100% promised it would be done by Saturday and ready to install Monday AM.

I was not saying they were going to go in, I was saying it is sitting on the engine stand has it has for over a month empty.

The shop says the builder is expected tonight. I'll be happy when I see progress and I will post pictures as I get them/take them.

If he starts tonight I will go tomorrow and take pictures.

I was hoping to install today. Last week he promised it would be done and ready to go in today.

Instead I am back to square one looking for a builder.

Right now I have a bunch of parts totaling over 10k invested, I had fear they were lost which ruined my weekend. I got them back incident free but due to the scare am really hesitant to get into a situation again that causes that fear.

I need to find a shop I trust to complete and have lost faith so it will be some time before that happens as I need to find them, search diligently digging up dirt and then decide if I trust them.

Why not one of the shops from the site? Only shitty part is you have to ship the motor back and forth.

Right now I am afraid of losing the parts locally, I can't imagine how I'd feel if I shipped them off.

i wouldnt be worried about shipping it if its a reputable place. surely there is someplace in phoenix that can do it. i know a guy that got his g35 tuned down there, cant remember the name of the place, but i bet if they dont build, they should have a good recommendation

For what it's worth, I had my spare block shipped from Speedforce Racing straight to IPP, which was then shipped to RT Tuning. The only thing I regret is wishing I saw the process to get more pictures and for my own personal knowledge.
