just wanted to share the excitement with you guys that my new/real engine is coming along. It's a FTR 402 LS2. FTR = Full Throttle Racing Engines www.ftrengines.com
They are the gurus that used to make what ARE ONCE was... including all the fast cars.
ARE is now a big POS full of bullshitters/liars/assholes that rob their customers and f***s them afterwords... so beware before dealing w/ them.
The block is now machined (tappered-free) and looking forward to having it all together and be part of the Sept-11 drag day event.
The car shall be ready next week.
The head/cam and pistons are already in, and are the parts I ordered/paid for.
unlike ARE that not only put me wrong parts, also robbed parts I had shipped there and used on other cars and told me to F*** off !!!... no $$$, no parts, and had a ARE inpected perfect engine that tchou-tchoued like a train (I wold have built a better engine myself with ToysR-Us tools)Pix will follow with updates.
:drive:
ps.: In case some don't know... BEWARE before bringing any $ to ARE (Assholes + Robbers Enterprises)... I was ripped off of over 10k$ by them to be told to F*** off because I decided to check my engine elsewhere.
Anyways, back to the positive side... my car will be back and running soon and with plenty of hp
no nitrous for this year... have to recover from the hole the assholes (ARE) put me in.
For those that are unaware of the situation, here are more details:
