Just based on how long I've been waiting for parts to arrive, I'd say that's a fairly accurate build time. However, when you start getting into the 3 and 4 month territory I'd probably look further into what's going on. It took me a 1.5 months to get my head built when it was sent to a machine shop.

I have a buddy doing through the exact same thing right now. He has paid the shop $2,000 so far and after 4 months the only thing that has been done is getting the block hot tanked... They basically told him they are pushing him off for other things.

If this shop ends up being a no-go. You should take it to STM (Street Tuned Motorsports) in Rochester, NY. There are no silly games there.

^^ no doubt, you should have to your research and just did this from the begining. Emery doesn't f**k around and would have had your car running perfect!

i'd say check if they have all the parts already & make sure you see the parts. atleast you will see where your money went.

i don't want to put their name up just incase they actually do a good job. i won't give them a bad name.
but if they continue to keep me waiting. i will destroy their rep and have some people that i know wreck their shop.
i promise u guys will hear about it.

good to know, you have to give an ultimatum sometimes so they know you mean business. Luckily I haven't had any problems with the shops I've dealt with, good luck man
