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.

i think your frustration is justified and witht he investment you are putting your desperation has been shared by many. 2 things though i guess its grd who should have called you first anyways, but if you PMed here and got no answer, while others did such as triji... then that is not good eigther. Hopefully thats all a minor thing
i hope your problems sorted asap
BACK TO TOPIC.... THE CAR i F-inG SICK!!
engine back looking clean as hell and good #s!

After giving him a few weeks to reply I picked up the phone and I called GTM directly on the shop line (not Sam's cell phone which I do have). Guess who picked up the phone on the second ring?
damn dude.. you sent your car from florida? much props.. it will be well worth it.. i have nothing but good things to say about gtm. they have helped me alot by selling my old parts and discussing what needs to be done on my car.
and i agree with the phone thing. **** i have my girl call for me since its hard to do from overseas and he talks to her about stuff .. so im pretty sure all you have to do is call if its important.

GTM stage 3 cams
ARP 2000 studs
HKS head gasket
HKS EVC 6
HKS Navigator w/all sensors
Tein Flex w/EDFC
GTM fans and shroud
AAM Stage II fuel system
Adding a second Greddy Type S BOV
Retune - 91 and 93 octane max boost and race gas map
When Sam tuned my car last year he didn't push it that hard cause I had the regular ARP studs, so now that the head lift will be taken care of, I told him to push that ****.
Congrats on the car and the baby!

Did Sam finish the tuning? Can Sam post the 91 octane dyno numbers? Paranormal, your setup is almost identical to what mine is going to be.. That's why I'm soooo curious!! Thanks~

Also, what do you mean sideways?? If you are indeed talking about the HKS EVC stepping motor unit. It is sitting upright...
Valet map via Navigator?
does anyone know if you can have a valet mode map set up on with the HKS navigator that way if you take your car in to get serviced they can't rev past 3K rpms?

Actually, I think Sam has an Osiris license, he could do it for you...

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:
I was supposed to pick Jimmy up at LAX yesterday but the flight got cancelled. He did call me and let me know that he would be flying in at a later time. Hopefully everything worked out and he was able to pick up his G.
