Mechanically it can definitely be done by Tuesday, but it also needs to be broken in on the dyno and tuned before I can take it, which wont be done on Tuesday.

Im not bashing Forged at all, dont misunderstand me, Im merely pointing out that they have not taken my car as a priority there and Im out of patience with it. Their quality of work is exceptional.

Im all for letting them take their time to do a quality job. My frustration is that they keep pushing my car out of the way to work on other cars, meaning no work is getting done on it at all. As long as work is getting done on it, I dont really care how long it takes. They have had more than enough time to get it up and running but instead they sat on the motor and parts for over a month before touching the car.

I also think Sharif is a great guy and they do quality work, I just dont believe they have taken enough priority in my car. They seem more concerned about getting the 350z's and G35's even though my car has been there much longer.

sorry for what you are going through Ryan. I can tell you that voicing your concern on here isn't going to get much Done. Sharif sounds like a good guy, Express to him what you are frustrated with. Coming from a shops point of view everyone always want to be number one and get their car finished first. Its a juggling act to make everyone happy at the same time, Just give him a call and see if you can work it out.

If not your car is always welcome here.

Eric

Sharif is a great guy and I will never say differently. I have already expressed my concern to him on numerous occasions and I think it was just the frustration coming out of me that made me want to post on here about it. I have had several long talks with him over the last two weeks with Sharif expressing my concern. I understand how difficult it must me to please all of the customers and I think Sharif would tell you himself that I have been more than patient throughout this entire project. My anger came when I see cars getting worked on before mine that have only been there a month or less. I believe me and Sharif have worked things out as of now and progress is once again being made on the car. Thank you for your continuous support.

Pretty much everything is done on the car now. We are having a major problem though. We cant seem to get power to the fuel system and for some reason cant figure it out. Has anyone else running the 1000hp fuel system encountered this problem? If so can you please shed some light on how you went about fixing it or getting it to work. As soon as we get this taken care of the car will be cranked up. Thanks for any help guys.

1st off I want to apologize for the extremely crappy quality. But put on a set of headphones and you can at least hear what shes sounds like. Keep in mind there is no IC piping on during the clip. Its straight TB so that is what that constant air sound is. Enjoy

We still have a few touchup stuff to do to make sure everything is 100%. Hopefully if all goes well it will go on the dyno for the initial breakin today and start some of the tuning tomorow. Then I will have it back for a 1500 mile breakin period. Once that is done I'll bring it back for some high hp tuning
