ONE of the worst days of my life. I was in the middle of nowhere running the car on the open road(5th gear) when heard a popping and claking sound. Naturally pull over to see what was going on with the car. I popped the hood and notice smoke starting to rise from the passenger side of the engine bay. I immediately call 911, it took them awhile to get out to the scene. Being in such a panic I lost everything in the car to the fire. After months of fightimg with the insurance company I GOT hosed for $6,500 that wasn't paid to Chrysler by them. GAP insurance doesn't cover pre-existing damage-which would have been the short block. They paid for the damages caused by the fire. So I give the builder over 6 MONTHS to make this right financially and he never has. Should I even have to ask? You'd think he'd want to make it right to protect his name and reputation. So.. always carry a fire extinguisher and really do your research before dropping big bucks on a stroker. The guy pretended to be my friend when really he was a lying cheat who would say anyhthing to make a dollar.

I came across his shop soon after joining the LXF. Being that I was new to the whole scene I didn't know much about any vendors. I went for a tune, which he was incapable of doing but covered it up with a BS story, then talke dabout heads and cam, then the topic of a 426 came up. I made a huge mistake and trusted him.
