Well hello guys and gals yes its me...the looser that keeps getting it wrong when it comes to my Z06. I have indeed been screwed around by the performance industry so badly I dont think I will ever recover. I know that Z06 wont. I have however finally found one performance shop that even though it is 4 hours away from me I can promise you and them that they will be the only shop to touch my cars again!!! I am threw being screwed around! The guy I found is HONEST first and foremost and knows exactly what he is doing but we will talk about him on another thread! Let me tell you my story!!!
I took the 2007 Z06 to a get a supercharger. I looked around and did a good amount of research. I found a shop that had an excellent rep, a car club named after it, and multiple affiliations in the forums and corvette industry...or so I thought. Anyways in Nov 2009 I took my care in and they told me ( keep in mind at the time I knew nothing about cars...after all this I am a pro) you can not put a supercharger on a Z06 that the cylinder walls are too thin and that I can only do a head and cam and exhaust and stuff. So I said fine and away we went. I told them at that time I wanted forged Diamond pistons(because in the back of my mind I was gonna supercharge it later at a different shop) as well and they said fine. It would take 4 to 6 weeks. Time passed and passed and passed..finally in February they gave me the car and driving home I noticed the oil pressure was at 4psi so I called a friend and they said pull over and have AAA tow it back so that is what I did. They shop takes another month to tell me that I had debris in the oil that caused the problem and I need new pistons, oil pump and cooler again as those were all ruined. So I paid and paid. Finally in June the car is ready after much fighting and I took the car out to my friends in Bradenton and we found more debris in the oil and a noisy drive train.
After a complete break down we find the pistons damaged again due to not properly file fitting the rings and the shop bored out my cylinder walls to a 25000th. 3 times too big. The crank had heavy metal welding ( like the dropped and bent it) and the block was just plan ruined.
The shop claims it is my fault because I rushed them...what a joke they had my Z06 for 7 months!!!! Well thanks for listening! I must say I am soooo sorry for this and I wish I had the known about my friends at RevXtreme before because they are a true performance shop. They may be 4 hours away from me but I dont care if I need brakes. They are doing it.
I dont want to say the name of the BAD performance shop but lets just say because of them my Z06's 427 has seen its "Last Breath". hint hint
, but could someone maybe point out what I should be
