So does this mean that Richmond Collision now has a chassis dyno? That's sick. I am somewhat familiar with Damien, as I know him and his cousin from parts deals and that he painted my old boss's Studebaker. Is the shop still next door to the old Z-Doctor shop?

LOOOONG story short, screwed me over on an engine build, promised me this and that. He told how my car was gonna make this much power, ended up makin 80 less hp than he said, after taking my car there with a working nitrous kit, came back not working. Took him nearly 8mos to build the motor even after I gave him 5 grand up front to start the build, few months later he needed 2 more grand, then needed this and that, ended up spending nearly 10k for a new motor for a 98 GT motor. Then he tried to make it up to me and re-build the auto tranny for free, that took almost 3mos to beef it up with new valve body stall all new tranny enternals. After having car for about 2 months car started stalling out at every stoplight/stop sign. Go to clean my air filter one day and see oil in my intake tube....just goes on and on.....

And how long should it take to build a motor? it was pretty much 98GT motor with forgded internals and PI swap with cams and was told i should make a minimum of 300rwhp after he was done....most it ever made was 240rwhp and fastest it ever ran after the work was done was 13.8 at 99mph. Before the work was done I ran a 14.1 at 98mph both with 2.1 60 foots.......anyways thats in the past i have moved on to a helluva lot better shop where the shop actually wants your car run the right way and will go above and beyond to make sure that happens, they are in it to win it...lol AED!!!

I know I am a newb, but the general rule is not to bad mouth shops, correct? [Razz]

If you were screwed then you should have taken the guy to court or did some kind of litigation where the proof is in the paperwork and that paperwork is what you and the business owner agreed upon (motor details, time it takes, expectations..whatever). If you don't have that then it is kind of hard to expect everything to be perfect.

Sorry for spouting off..I just see a lot of small business owners getting screwed by people that have higher expectations then what was possible. I am not saying you were not cheated or anything, but that this is the incorrect manner to make corrective actions.
