Sam, I dont understand where you get the time to post all these new threads when you have not responded to the three PM's I've sent you regarding my block. Sorry for the hijack, but I'm not sure how else to get this message to you at this point.

IF you choose to speak to Irshad directly instead of communicating with me via PM, then I will inquire with him this week. I haven't spoken to Irshad in over a week, so hopefully some communication has taken place while I've been in the dark thus far.

Why not just pick up the phone and call him? If I really wanted to speak with someone ASAP I wouldn't email or pm them. JMO

Lol, its nearly impossible to reach him by phone because he's always busy...unless you've spent huge $$$, then he's not too busy for you. I got the same thing because supposedly I didn't spend enough at GTM. Just my feelings but my assumptions could be wrong. My buddy dropped a significant amount of $ at GTM and got treated like royalty. I feel your frustration bro, sometimes customers would just like an update about their cars...

There was never any lack of communication between us and GRD regarding your short block. I had spoken to Irshad atleast four times regarding your situation. Keep in mind that I speak to Irshard on a daily basis due to our other business dealings. He has my shop number, cell number, and even my home number. After viewing your post today, I picked up the phone and called him, on a sunday, while he was BBQing with his family.

I was a little upset because you keep making it sound as if I am dropping the ball. He specifically stated that he had left you several msg's last week and you finally called him back and said you are in Canada and that you would be calling him when you get back.

Based on your post you stated that you have been out of town. For the record you have retained GRD's services, you are a GRD customer, you are located in Chicago, If GRD cannot or will not communicate better with you there is nothing that I can do, So please do not continue to slander our name on the forum and direct all your future comments and PMs to GRD.

If you really feel that you still need to talk to me, Pick up the phone and call 909-481-1601, I will let all my Staff know that I am expecting a phone call from Ginash.

Thank you for taking the post off topic,

Sam

How did I slander you? I simply wondered why you haven't responded to 3 of my PM's. I did not flame or say anything negative. Why are you getting upset? I guess ppl get a bit testy on the FI section here. LOL

Anyways, I was obviously frustrated by seeing you start new threads while I'm waiting around for an answer to a simple PM(s). I choose to communicate electronically because I know you are a busy man.

I understand their has been miscommunication on various ends, however, I don't want to call you and be one of those annoying customers. My PM's were spaced weeks apart, hence my concern. I simply wanted to know when/if the block was being shipped and a tracking number. This I asked for in the 3 PM's.

If things are being taken care of, I appreciate it and will talk to Irshad tomorrow. Again, re-read my original post. There is no hostility so no need to get worked up. I posted here as a "last resort" to hopefully get some info on my particular situation.

To Synth19.....

Hey bro... I spent a total of like $120.00 with GTM (Pulley for Vortech) and I had a couple of questions on it. I PM'd Sam and George both on my questions. I received a call from Sam probably no more than an hour or two later on a Saturday no less.

I had a couple of PM's unanswered as well but you have to take into account that they probably get like a gazallion PM's a day and sifting thru those has to be tough when he is in the shop pretty much non-stop.

Good luck on your engine tho, I hope it comes out awesome!



Back on Topic: Paranormal, you car is going to be CRAZY SIIIIICK!!!!

I would think the FCON would control all the electronics by itself.

What do you flash? Things like the rev limiter or do you try to flash ECU targets that match the engine tune?

their ECU flash can kill any OBDII codes like multimisfire codes that so many of us get. The Fcon alone won't stop those codes from showing up in the ECU, lighting up on your dash, and you failing emissions because the ECU thinks something is wrong

Hey Sam - great work. Thanks for letting us see a "tune in progress". Makes one appreciate the effort that goes into producing the final smooth power curve you consistently put out there. You make it look easy!

That is one sick car.
