verynice did they figure out and fix all the issues

I believe so, i havent talked to them in person. Just got the PM... They said the main problem that was probably causing the knock was the rear injector harness. Something must have been wrong with it and it wasnt giving the proper amount of fuel to cylinder #6.

Get them to install water/meth and use that built engine and those heads!

Picking it up on monday...

TrAb · 01-08-2008, 06:13 AM

I picked up the car yesterday and drove it home, felt pretty good driving didnt really get on it till i was home and had my palm hooked up. When i got home i took it for a spin with the palm hooked up, 2nd-3rd were getting massive amounts of knock. So looks like im going to have to head back up there with it. The only thing i can think that would have happened was that it was accidently tuned on race gas or something similar.

That sucks man. I hope they can figure it out.

TrAb · 01-08-2008, 09:00 AM

Trab, per the other thread, did you ever verify that your timing WAS actually off?

I dont know if it was acually off to begin with because when i got it back it was fixed. Id hate to think they would lie to me about something like that and i dont think that they would. I dont know, we will se thursday i am going to go up and stay with them while they look at it. Maybe they will let me watch what all they do.
