Nice! Be sure to post up your old parts when you get them back, there may be interest!

Absolutely. My CAI will just be sitting in the garage

Update: RX has had my car now for about 3 1/2 months and its still not done. Every week Tracy tells me they are "wrapping things up". I'm currently talking with IPS in Ohio about finishing the build for me. Anyone know of any shops around here that does tuning?

I missed a show last weekend. Here's where my car should have been:

Talk with Orange5thGen about IPS before proceeding

Thanks for the headsup. I don't want to get stuck with another bad shop.

I'd call them and say you are a future customer and you would like to know how long it takes for your job. When they say 1 month then ask them why they have had your car more than 3 months and can't get it done?

Haha. I still have the email that says its a 2-3 week turnaround. What a joke!

i dont believe speed inc tunes the V6's if i remember them saying last time i talked. Could be wrong though.

I feel bad for you Butters - I've been following your build and thread on Camaro5 - I was pretty close to sending my car down there for the roots supercharger - I'm pretty glad I didn't now. Screw that - I could have designed, engineered, installed, and tuned it all myself at this point. WAY TOO LONG.

That said, I know Tracey is good at what he does - I think he's just way too backed up, can't handle all the builds, the custom parts, etc... by himself. I know he keeps saying he can't find competent people to work for him, but honestly, if he can't keep up or keep his word on deadlines, just stop taking them in, finish them up and slow down.

If he rushes the job, something will be missed, and might end up missing something on your car. I hope all will be ok, but he might cut corners or something to get it out to you. You might want to find a local shop to just "go over" the build before you really jump on the throttle. Just sayin.

Yea man. I definitely plan on finding a shop to look it over. That's a fear of mine as well.

Tracy is great mechanic, he knows what he's talking about, but he is a lousy business owner. He's in over his head and I honestly don't see his shop lasting too much longer. He's building a bad rep and is losing the v6 community.

[SYCK SS]

I really hope you get the car back soon. I know the feeling of not having a car for so long. Mine took about 5-6 months to complete before i could drive it.

After you get it back i wouldn't mind meeting up and checking everything out with you.

I was at RX last weekend and was looking at your car.

Tracy is a good guy just way to many cars at once to work on plus making all the catch cans. He said he get orders for about 100 a week and is 8-10 weeks behind.

Must have been 10-12 cars all in different stages.
