Sooo....

Picked this car up in early October 2014. Drove it from the dealership to the shop.
Early June 2015 picked the car up for the power tour "unfinished."
I dropped the car off to the shop after the power tour mid June 2015(running great).
Car is still at shop. Motor is tore down, head is getting reworked, new cam phasers, who knows what else.

Hopefully it will be where it should have been last year within a week or two. Owned this car 18 months, but only really had it in my possession for maybe 2.5 weeks.

What a nightmare....
Lol
But thanks for the update .I have been wondering whatever happened to it .
I can understand how you feel.
As you know I dropped of my on3 car in December 2014.
I did not get it back till December 2015.
I drove it a bit and did some "upgrades" -e85/fuel system/tune/boost controller driveshaft/half axles/steeda suspension /Viking shocks/blow fish bracket
Fortunately I had not done the RXT/MGW before getting rid of it .
Car made 816 rwhp on 15 psi .
I got a very good offer to trade it for a GT350(along with my 12 race car which was never driven) including only the TT.
I was able to make 2 passes with the car. Ran 11.3@137 first pass.
Second pass did not end well.
Dealer still wanted it despite full disclosure.

I am able to demod everything except the TT before trade in , so I figured I made out okay as I am getting almost $6K(trade in value considering taxes )over what I would have got otherwise if car was stock and I sold privately .

I am also able to sell parts for the planned short block build (along with block)

I still have the Hellion car(now has alluminator short block)but dealing with back pressure issues .
Hoping for easy 9's once that is sorted.
Going to try stiffer valve springs since that was fix for another Hellion car with similar issues with the 55's.
I wish I knew this before as I would have don't it at the time of the short block .
....or ordered 61's (probably should just have done the BB)

I could only imagine your frustration. Mine was there for a several months and I was pissed. Hopefully it's all dialed in when you get it back.

So the motor is back in the car, and should be running today.... I'm pretty upset I didn't even make it an oil change before the motor had to be rebuilt.:mad:

Have some major tuning issues... Hopefully sorted out shortly.

Left at 2000 rpm foot braking, had no idea the track would hook as good as it was. You can hear when it went dead lean and missed, had to get out of the throttle and get back in it. I feel confident with some tuning, and leaving off boost I have a mid 9 in the car.

Give Sai Li a call. One of the best around with turbo setups.

Have another tuner that is going to give it a try;)

Who would ever think this car makes the power it does, and some super sticky 335's are on the back..
