Every business will have one upset customer. Be it justified or not. No matter what they will not be happy. I do know Jason and yes he is local. Not a "friend" other than a fellow S2000 owner like all of you. Visited his shop and did a tune on my car. Do I trust him less now.....a little but it would only to be sure that I double check delivered product.
Honestly if I were to ever get another engine.....it would be OEM or if I re-built I would be part of the re-build process and have that person install/tune the car. Never to order and install....and surely not order international the install.
Just my opinion and my view.
Agree. This thread needs to just die!
Chive on.

Why does it need to die? Because it isn't your problem? If you don't like it, GTFO. OP's problem is not resolved.

I agree,why should this thread die?it's easy to move on and read the next topic,forgetting about the one you've just read.
I think it should be refreshed when ever the Op feels like it......with justifiable reason.
With my own thread I think that I can justify keeping it going for as long as it took me to earn the money that Kings Performance has kindly squandered for me.So I'm looking at another 4 years at least.
On the odd ocasion I get a knob head popping up and asking why I keep insisting on keeping the onslaught going.....my answer, when close on $20.000 has been spent and basically I have nothing to show for it,why should I allow them to ride the storm then just let it blow over.
That reminds me.....

had a bad experience with cnc, no where near as bad. I pm'd them about a 2.4L na setup. They told me a 2.4 crank with stock ap1 pistons would be good for a pump gas street motor with occasional traking. They told me it would put me around a 14.1 compression, and that it would be able to rev well past 9k.
I canceled my order.
kept my mouth shut because, well they were vets. but if i was to of assembled that motor it wouldn't make it past 5K with my driving.

Ah... You don't want a magic motor that has piston speeds a good bit higher than an F1 engine (even with an 8,600 RPM limiter), all while running pump gas on 14:1 compression?
