[QUOTE="SD_Plat, post: 1210320, member: 13915"] I appreciate the sympathy and support guys. Truly. Its a tough situation that I would rather just have resolved as opposed to bringing in external resources (lawyers are rarely the solution). I should clarify a few things so it's clear: 1) this was a staged build; Livernois received the truck with a heads up that there is something wrong with the motor (I had a twin turbo system installed that was running terribly). Phase one was me paying them to strip it down. They found that connecting rods were installed backwards, incorrect piston sizing (overborred), rings were out of spec, etc. - all thanks to Casey Field (or @CK) and the crew at Underpressure Power and Performance ([URL="http://uppturbo.com"]@UPP[/URL]) in Colorado. 2) At that point, I decided that instead of having them rebuild the motor to a 6.2 I may as well go with the 6.6L. I sent them money to do so and, [U]at that point[/U], we hadn't decided on a compression ratio. 3) Livernois went silent for around a month (they told me it would take some time to complete the long block build) and then, all of a sudden said "hey, we're done early". I asked what compression ratio they (we) went with and was informed it was a 9.5:1. I wasn't happy with that as I wasn't convinced going FI was within my budget but let sleeping dogs lay and rolled with it. 4) As they had decided to build a 9.5:1 compression ratio motor I was left with little choice but to go with a blower - queue Whipple. I got an "all in" quote and agreed to the price - paid in full. 5) Months of backorder on the Whipple later it finally shipped in August. Livernois installed the motor and blower just in time for.... (queue the drums) ... the Stage 3 Whipple system to be "released". Now, if you want to talk about something that rubs me the wrong way this is it - refer to my statement in post one about "excuses" (enough said). So... there have been a few milestones along the way and obvious project delays. But the way they have conducted themselves in the last few months is deplorable. I'm in the service industry (different context) and know that I would have zero customers left if I conducted business the way they have. [/QUOTE]
