What? He just spent $20k on a motor that didn't have the parts he paid for, and didn't produce the power they claimed. I'd be more than whiny. They fucked up his previous motor too, since they put in a bent/warped crank. All his engines blew from a poor build, not from him driving it. As is the nature with these fully built motors, if you miss or skimp out on parts, work, measurements, etc., something is going to fail in the motor. Do you know how difficult it is to blow an LS7? I'm pretty sure Cartek fucked up both times, not that they are a bad shop, but just that he got fucked over both times.

If I'm spending $20k on a motor, not only should it better have the parts I ordered in it, it better hold up to their warranty as well.....no questions asked.
