heres my story of a 2001 gt getting a saleen blower installed:
took the car to BP Speed Center in Horsham, PA. quoted for install and tune for $1500, at the Injection Connection in Horsham, PA ** BP Speed Center never checked with the Injection Connection on the actual price they just kept saying $1700 and $1900, the numbers didnt seem to add up but i went with it**(formerly known as Berrell Auto Repair, located on Horsham Rd.). The kit wasnt complete and the missing parts came out to be $800. For four months talking with saleen trying to get parts. First saleen was to ship out an Expansion Tank kit that includes all hardware and tank to run the intercooler/ heat exchanger. After four months got all the pieces to put it together. Car was together and taken for a test drive, sucks the number 5 valve and bends. Valve job done on the cylinder and re-assembled. Dyno runs made at 12 degrees timing, shift points were at 6200rpm's and rev limiter removed. Got the car back after the Injection Connection had it since July 29th, 2008. Got the car back in early december to only have it for 5 hours, then the number 8 intake valve sucked into the cylinder, "kissing the piston" says the injection connection, haha ya right. Had another valve job done on the number 8 cylinder after the Injection Connection claims a piece of metal held open the valve and bent it (the piece of metal they showed me that "went through the head" wasnt even from my car!!) Had to pay $1100 twice for the valve jobs. And then december 23rd, 2008 I get the car back for this time 6 hours and sent a rod through the block.
After everything said and done, after the necessary extra parts needed i end up with a blown motor and on top of that the bill for the Injection Connection was about $7200 all said and done to this point.
YIKES!! The car was making only 320hp and 340tq. I personally know ppl pushing 425hp to the rubber and not having a problem, the Injection Connection claims the car had a lot of miles (75,000)<-- not really that many but w/e. This blow out should not have happened
So now im out $7200 and a motor and they wont do anything to help me out, they the whole time of the job were being shady about parts and fixing things that i did NOT authorize ie: the alternator. Wouldn't give me a price on their work until after the work was done because they didnt want to add up the hours on the car so i saw the bill and i almost died, im 19 years old and not made of money here.
Ive talked to Second Street Speed Shop in Perkasie, PA and the shop owner bill told me hes seen errors come out of theur shop numberous times that he himself has fixed before, but nothing like this.
