see my edit above, it's the tranny issue that's gonna take some time; just shipping each way takes a full week or more. i just timed pick up and delivery for when I'd be passing through Atlanta on business trips - saved me airfare that way. Sharif can work very quickly if you have a need - just didn't have the need - except I'm really missing my car!!!

SGP and VRT haven't had the best reps lately. But to each his own. They have put out a lot of fast cars and a lot of people swear by them. I did reserach on my own for about a year before I actually pulled the trigger. Definitely research this and make a decision based on your own findings. Regardless, you are easily looking at over $15k for a built motor and FI. Probably closer to $20k actually once you throw in all of the other misc. things that you will need. Good luck.

Plus if your having an engine build then GTM pay for it
Depends on a few things, I was just going to have a few things that I mentioned earlier I think, new sprockets for timing chain, larger injectors and a few other things and then a tune at a few extra psi. but a few days ago I started getting a ticking sound which I am not sure where it is coming from, I think I broke something in the timing chain area so if so then the plan stays the same and I should have it back by next week but if Sam says something else is up and I need a new build which I hope not then it may be there for a month.
do you have upgraded valve springs and cams? could be stock valve?
hope it's nothing and you're back on the road soon.
Hey 98, thanks for the info. What do you do for upgrade? I don't know that I want to change the stall speed... Do you have core swaps or do you modify the original?
hope it's nothing and you're back on the road soon.

I can not imagine being without the car for a month, it would cripple me...lol
Found this (can you tell me the sprocket TSB #):
ITB06012
IF YOU CONFIRM There is a ticking, clicking, thumping, or knocking noise heard in the passenger compartment at idle. The noise could be from the engine compartment. ACTION With the engine idling, feel the fuel damper hose while the noise is occurring. The fuel damper hose is located on the Bank 1 side of the engine. If the vibration of the fuel damper hose coincides with the noise heard inside the vehicle, replace the fuel damper and attached hose on that cylinder bank (Bank 1). See thisbulletin for further detail.

Page 3 post #56 from Sam about the sprocket TSB, this is the thread where GTM is telling everyone of their shortblock and head prices and package deals.
