It's more a question of time, I just don't have enough. That's the downside to making good money and having responsibilities, you don't have a lot of free time.
I offer valet and shuttle service. You don't even have to be there, just the S.

If BC will Postpone until Feb and we can do install + tune @ Church's then I will most certainly take up the mantle.

He has a relationship with XS so it's essentially free for him. Not sure if he'll compromise there.

February would be no problem I would guess.

We already discussed the location because I originally talked about using Church. His response was to use XS. It's not an inconsequential amount of money. It would be better to ask for a discount on the cams. What's the difference between one dyno and another?

Shawn has a solid rep for both ITB install and tuning with the AEM EMS, XS would do just as good a job, but he is also open to the consumer whereas XS is not. If I needed addional tuning and/or modification I would end up having to go to Shawn anyway.

Guys, I tested for BC a couple years ago(2). Had a shop do the install for free as part of a deal from BC. The first set he sent actually lost power, so the second set he sent along with the valve train package didn't fair any better and the day after the dyno my motor blew up. We tried for 6 months to get BC to pay for some of the cost in the rebuild, but we(myself and the shop) recieved nothing. I sent him the head that I had inspected by three automotive engineers in the business for 10+ years that all agreed that there was to much ramp speed on the lobes. The valve springs(duel) failed(BC) because they were flexing and binding the valves and caused valve to valve contact which made them stick together and contact the piston, the inside of the motor looked like a grenade went off inside. He denied it all and did'nt help to make things right. When we actually did talk to him the last time on the phone he said "well you should have had more supporting engine mods" and we were like "WTF, what if this was a $10,000 built motor and it failed".

So anyway after that I built the stroker and never heard from Brian Crower (BC)again.

SO, do not be the test mule for cams unless there is a written agreement that is legally binding.
