Gennaro\* Matts look on “build the car” is obviously off then. I guess if you’re having problems with a motor you should just slap heads on it instead of diagnosing further. Car is already sold fyi. ---

> [@38stang](#): > > I’m pretty sure no one touched the bottom end and Jay only did the h/c/i. It was a stock 100K+ bottom end to begin with at the time of the “build” Thanks for the clearing up another thread where “someone” thinks they know what is going on but really have NO IDEA because it is not their car and they don’t know the story. J & J Speed Shop installed a camshaft and top end package on a almost or a little bit over 100,000 miles OEM stock bottom end. The customer was told the cylinder walls didn’t look great at the time but decided against a full rebuild because he just wanted to drive the car for the summer and deal with it in the fall/winter. The car was fine after the tune and made great power Also pretty sure this build was 2-3 years ago ---

Well it is obvious both of you have another agenda. The original invoice date of the work is 6/16/2009 (3 years AGO). Depends on who owned the car and who took care of it. 100K isn’t really a ton of miles for a vehicle that was kept up on oil changes. This engine however was NOT kept up on oil changes and it was evident by the underside of the valve covers. So what are you trying to infer that the car ran bad from day one, or 3 years later the engine is more worn because of the extra HP and now it need a bottom end rebuild which I recommended 3 YEARS AGO > [@LZ](#): > > Since when is 100k a lot on a LSx Depends on maintenance.

> [@J & J](#): > > Yeah you can ask Mike from Rochester with the 98 Camaro (Hellion Camshaft) about going somewhere 2-5 times and landing up paying for a good tune anyways I feel the need to bring this back up again especially if it’s the same person. Mike told me this guy had a hellion cam installed then got dyno tuned. After a couple of months he swapped in a turbo350 and changed a whole bunch of other shit on the engine, trailered it over to the shop and said fix the tune we aren’t driving it on the street and we aren’t putting it on the dyno it’s staying on the trailer. Yeah you’re really going to have perfect drivability after swapping to a completely different trans with a cam that large… Guy sounds like a fucking derp. :picard: ---

Well I don’t know whats true or not but obviously everyone seems to hate each other and that’s a shame. If a website was really stolen I’m sure whoever it really belonged to would have proof and would of been able to take court action in order to get it back. If its really that easy to steal a website you would hear about it a lot more, maybe even Nyspeed would have been stolen too! And to write all that stuff gennaro is very low of you. I dont know if it’s all true all false or a combination of both but to type out that type of information, especially the personal is just super low and immature. You don’t know everything, you weren’t around when any of that shit happened, either was I so how can you give any real insight, you don’t see me posting up hearsay because I wasn’t around at that time and i have no right to. What if all of that information is a lie, and you’re posting that type of shit trying to make someone look bad who’s innocent? What does that make you? ---

That can go along with every single argument then. But don’t push buttons and expect someone to sit there and be quiet. I never had a problem with Jay until he decided to be an asshole like I stated before for no reason. Yes I wasn’t around for that whole ordeal but I have heard a ton from various reliable sources who were around. I could care less if you think its low or high at the end of the night I don’t nor will lose sleep over it. Yes Matt’s (z4murders old car) may have been incorrect but still doesn’t mean I don’t know or heard things for a while now and never said anything. This can keep going on and on. Its opinions and will go back and forth with he said she said and is honestly a waste of time as this I’m sure has been discussed plenty of times. ---
