Lol I already have. I told them I'm not stupid 80 to 100 miles tops for break in and they hit me with well we over do it and u want it warrantied if it breaks right.

Brad is on vaca yet again and now I just dropped another 420 bucks on a Haltech wide band. Didn't really need it, but faster response time and it will work with the dash so I can remove all my gauges

Well all it needs now is a bath, the front bumper put back and a base tune.

Well today I made the decision to pull the plug. I emailed the shop today and asked if my wb came in and the reply was no should be some time next week. Ok first off I wasn't happy about paying 425 bucks for something I can get way cheaper. Second 3 weeks for them to get it and thats a maybe?

So I called MAP today and they had 4 in stock. Even with over nighting it to the shop, I paid less then 425 dollars I was charged on my cc from the shop. I am not going to wait for this car anymore. The car has been there 18 months now and that is in no way acceptable. So I emailed Corey and basically said I over nighted a Haltech wb should be there Wed or Thurs depending on when it goes out. I wanted to pick the car up on wed, but looks like thats not going to happen. I told them I wanted the car with the Haltech wb in and a base tune by Friday.

IF the car isn't done or I cannot find a trailer no later then tuesday next week. I don't car if they tune it or not at this point I have another tuner who I trust being he tuned my Stealth really well on a Haltech and I will have him do it. I will rent a dyno and have him make pulls as well. Sorry its been a long journey and I am to the point I have no patience anymore and this " well maybe here next week" put me over the edge.
