Believe it or not I've asked him a number of times and he is not very responsive. Maybe he doesn't like money or like to work on cars that are tuned by other tuners or he is just too DARN BUSY?

 

Maybe a combo of both! I'm sure he might not want to be responsible for somebody elses mistakes! IMHO just in case sh*t happens!

 

Umm new possible is yes a porsche motor As far as the rev I think it happened after it blew. Yanked it out of gear alittle concerned with 20ft of flaming oil

 

Tom,

we are not talking about Kevin tunning the car, but building the engine. I'm sorry I dont see how he would remotely be taking on risk for someone else's mistake.

The truth is (I'm not speaking for Kevin), most people don't like to touch other people's work! Maybe he wont want to work on a car that wont have his programing for Insurance purposes or maybe he's just to busy building my stage 4 turbo's .....tom

 

IMHO - thats ridicolous. I can understand if I wanted him to tune my gt700, but I am only asking him to replace and build the motor. Thats tantamount to me asking him to change my breaks and the answer is no.

 

Kevin is quite rigid in his beliefs. You gotta respect him for sticking to his guns.

 

Sorry to continue the threadjack but Jags..it makes perfect sense to me. Why should he put his heart and soul into your motor if you don't want him to touch the car's brain? Clearly Kevin doesn't need your business and when someone gets to that point in his/her career when they can afford to turn down (or be unresponsive as you say) to customers, then you better have something special to offer them besides money. He's in this for the love of the cars and the respect of his customers, not for the dollars. Sorry to sound elitist, but we're a proud little pack...us UMW folk .

 

Wow man sorry to hear that. On to bigger and better things!

 

Evoms, UMW, Proto,IA, etc they all are capable of building motors.
Some have done more then others... it all comes down to preference.

and the price.......... i have someone for a total of 8gs??

 

Ben Is right, if your busy with your own customers (priority) everthing else is secondary. i spoke to him five times today! no wonder he's so busy...lol

 

Rob u got hooked up

 

Don, sorry to hear of your unfortunate delema. Things do happen for a reason and now is the time to start fresh with a builder of your choice. What a work of art that could be to start with a fresh block and heads and build your dream motor. I have had the fortunate opportunity to build motors for many years and it is a real high... Good Luck in your decisions... Best Regards, Kenny

 

Ben,

its simple, if he doesn't want to let me know - don't leave me in the dark waiting for a response!
