Your suit would be based on this:"Shop claims they didn't do a PTV clearance check because it's a common LT1 H/C package  "
Vengeance has already said this package needs to be fully blue printed. case closed, installer error.
IMO because this dealer sells and installs Vengeance products, Vengeance does have a vested interest in this. The should at least verify with their own dealer, what was said and done. IMO of course. This is NOT a GM perf cam, it is a HUGE max effort street cam, clearly to my mind there has to some caution with this. I can give an example the BTR baby street / blower cam says "gentle on the valvetrain". I take that as probably don't need chain, push rods or trunnion upgrades, probably don't need to change the mild performance valve springs every 20k, probably don't need the killer valve springs, don't need better than LT7 lifters, will work with standard cam restrictor... That's what I take from it. The stage III should say something like only a fully blueprinted cam install with proper components aka nothing stock. |
To clarify this camshaft was purchased by the OP off of our online store. The installation shop is not a dealer for Vengeance Racing. We have no clue who they are and if they were a dealer, they no longer would be because no matter what is found now, it could have been found DURING the installation process and avoided the situation the customer is now in.
It has become clear to me that the OP is the type to blame everyone around him and take no ownership for his own actions. I have yet to receive a phone call to discuss anything yet every time I sit down at my desk there is a new post with slanderous comments being made with no factual information.
At the end of the day the shop chosen by the OP did not
Check piston to valve
Check lifter preload
Check Install Height on the spring kit
What else was not checked? Is the phaser lock out kit installed properly?
Are the VVT tables modified to further limit cam travel?
Were rockers properly torqued? The list goes on...….
Anyone who knows me or knows Vengeance knows I will bend over backward to help someone, but when your approach is to run to the internet pointing fingers even while facts are being shared then I have zero interest in offering anymore help than I already have.
I will go ahead and say that at this point I have zero faith in the "upcoming measurements" based on the fact the OP has continually pointed fingers even though he has been provided with FACTS that could have helped him around this entire situation.
He chose his install shop.
He chose to illegally street race
He missed the gear... I don't care if it was 10 miles or 100,000 miles after install....
He blames everyone but himself and THAT is the biggest problem of all.
