Re: Rockford Racecraft is trying to rip me off. Normally, I ignore ridiculous threads like these, but several of you have asked for and wondered what my side of the story is. Its simple really. Don Nelson brought his truck to my shop and it was quickly diagnosed with a blown engine. He agreed...

Re: Problems with Rockford Racecraft Thats your right of course, but for each of the small handful of unhappy people you read on here, I can give you at least 10 perfectly happy ones. some of which now are dear friends and trailer their trucks to me yearly for just service. So be fair, at...

Re: Problems with Rockford Racecraft This is the guy that after threats and hostile phone calls about finishing his truck couldnt pay the bill once it was done. For the FIRST TIME in my professional career I let a guy take a vehicle and make payments. Last week it was nats and the next two it...

Re: only a matter of time Thanks 13Pelle, and the tire thing is just a joke! during the build he brought out BRAND new nittos mounted on zr-1s. they were kept properly inflated, and stored inside the whole time. the truck was even off the ground a fair amount of the time and constantly rolled...

Re: only a matter of time Im not saying SLP doesn't know what they are doing. I DID have them tune a cobra we did (612 rwhp) and they did a nice job. But it was a manual trans. Im just saying they should have known it was a bad idea to makes pulls like that with an unlocked trans. obviously...

Re: only a matter of time the cost of the trans is really not the issue. Facts are the truck was thrashed on the dyno on at LEAST two occasions making who knows how many pulls (the shop has NEVER done a sy/ty before) with converter unlocked, been street raced, and who knows what other abuse...

Re: only a matter of time One last thing: This truck was on the dyno at least twice making numerous pulls with an unlocked converter. ANY knowlegeable trans builder will tell you that will kill a 700R4 quick. The heat generated when the converter is unlocked is incredible, especially when...

Re: only a matter of time So I've been texting herman about this all morning (on a sunday, its worth noting) and now i get heads up on this thread. I told him there was no warranty, but that I would be happy to look at it and see what failed and we could talk options. BUT, what he wants to do...

Re: this will be my final post on syty.net read up and like what i got to say wow, all bow before the expert! I'm about sick of wannabe experts like you that think you have the experience to bash me. You don't have even close to the whole story here.So you claim to have built one truck...

Re: i had to do it MODERATOR- Herman had his say, I replied. Isn't it time to lock this thread? Surely, there is no more benefit to this community to let this continue is there?

Re: i had to do it You Know for the record here, Herman picked up his truck depite the fact that we had it's built motor on the stand ready to go in. Trans was done, and the truck was VERY close to completion. Yeah, it took awhile, but Herman wanted a very particular build, AND demanded a...

Re: 6 years??

Re: 6 years?? Okay, enough already. Herman brought us a truck seriously screwed up by one of our competitors. (you know who you are) It had a multitude of missing and damaged Typhoon specific parts, and we had to document the entire truck for a potential fraud case. No forged crank, forged...

Re: help i think rockford race craft is scaming me Ok, so here's the story. This guy came to me with a blown up truck, he bought it with a fresh rebuild, and I won't mention the name, but they are well known. Block was toast and we had to find a new block and crank. These days, authentic Sy/Ty...

Re: Video of Jason's Sick SY Running The popping is cold start richness in the tune. We're in the process of tuning but have to re-do one header tube, since it is too close to one plug. Once we can run it awhile without melting a plug wire, we plan some dyno tuning prior to it's track debut. We...
