That plus......................

He knows all the right things to say and answer.

It's like the saying "Those that cant do...."Teach"

Belive me I'm coming up with a way to break it off in his ass.

There is always plausible deniability... He did not build the entire engine, so he can always pass the blame when questioned, and most people will believe him because it seems like a plausible excuse.

Even our guy tried to blame our tuner for the loss of Tq. When it seems clearly evident, even with the small sampling of modded 1NZE's, that the loss of Tq is a side effect of a cam change that makes high RPM power.

If you don't know the answer, just say you don't know, don't lie or pass the buck.

funny how people do that.

I didn't even get a word edge-wise with Bill Gude when I told him of the issue. He instantly went to your engine builder did the timming wrong and bent your valves.

Finally he shut -up and I explained to him I been using the same engine builder and Prior to changing the head I had 180lb across the board. I put his Junk Yard Dynamics on and like a Fairy waving her wand.....Boomb goes the Dynamite.......55lb across the board along with shavings in my motor.

He didn't once even say, Shit sorry to hear what happened or I'll send a call tag to bring it back and look at, to get to the bottom of this. God forbid he take responsability for his product and inspect it.

I wouldn't run his shit if it came wraped in 100 dollar bills.

no matter what he does it will remain a boat anchor in my shop for all to see and I will continue to fuck this guy down every chance I get.

sorry about your misfortune. I have heard so many stories of shadyness in the performance industry, it is sad. I am a firm believer in testing products before they are sold.

Reminds me of an evo I worked on... guy drove from 5 hours away for us to check out a few issues and then tune his car. As soon as i pulled the car in i heard an odd noise from the motor. I then raised the car on the lift while it was running and as i did so the oil pump pulley shot through the timing cover and the timing belt skipped, motor locked.
I then showed the customer, he told me the motor was just built by another shop... needless to say he was upset. he then had me talk to the owner of that shop, very defensive and swore it wasnt their doing and that the pulley couldnt have come off as it comes preassembled on oem oil pump . I ordered new pump, and not to my suprise.....pulley is seperate, you can't even install it with the pulley on anyhow. They either didnt put the nut on, or never torqued it.
