Congrats. It’ll be a different animal when you get it back.

Ok, so my car still isn't back yet. Communication has been terrible in my opinion. I've had to be the one to reach and ask for updates. I dropped off the car on Monday June 6th and I still don't have it back.
The first issue was apparently they ordered or were sent wrong parts by texas speed. The second issue was that the nick williams 103 throttle body was not opening properly and giving "engine reduced power". The guy then told me that the stock throttle body and intake should work fine and it was literally on the dyno today. But later tells me that it would only make a little more power than stock...mind you I have headers, cam, and smaller pulley added additionally and he told me that it wasn't gonna make more power... He then tells me that the reason that the 103 throttle body won't work is that it's choking on the air and that the supercharger needs to be ported so that the additional air can get through and can make the power it should. My car has been at this shop for 3 full weeks...he says that if I'm lucky my car should be done next friday making it a full month without my car. To refresh everyone...my build is simply headers, intake, throttle body, upper pulley, and cam. Am I being unreasonable in being upset the build isn't done yet? Should I be worried that they don't know what they're doing? |

I've got equity in the car and the market is still high for the time being. I might just say F*** it and get a tesla. I'm sick of people not knowing how to work on cars when it's literally their job. |

The car is my daily. I'm not building a race car by any means. Just wanted a bit more power with the same reliability. This month has just been terrible as a whole and this has not helped. |

Mofab in Parker has one of the best GM tuners in the area. He has tuned mine 3 times after I did mods. I highly recommend. If you want to get it checked out by another tuner, it’s an option.

On that note, the car being a daily and not a toy is your problem, not theirs, assuming they did explain the amount of work involved and the expected timeline.

He said they had worked on LT4's before. As a customer I tried to cover my bases before handing over the keys. Seems I've just been duped. |

Very sorry to hear this, I went through a similar situation with my shop. He had the car for just over 2 months. It was always waiting on parts, or Texas speed sent the wrong part. Hope it works out for you and the car runs well. You can always have the tune and logs checked by a reputable tuner, and fixed if needed. I'm currently paying for a retune from someone else because I don't trust the guy who did mine either.

BTW, since the OEm TB will support 750-800 hp, a 103mm is not needed.

I just don't like how one minute he said the stock would be fine and the next it wasn't. |
