I think you might want to get some of your facts straight son before going off on a rant with me. I wasn't asked to diagnose the car, I was asked to replace the engine and transmission. After that and the problem still existed I tried to troubleshoot everything. I've never known an exhaust to clog and not show SOME sign of it be it a noise or whatever and hers did. I fixed the exhaust and now she has a lower mileage engine with no leaks, A good 4.44, and a soon to be finished exhaust and a sound car once a few more typical SVX bugs are worked out. Tom taught me about 4.44 swaps and gave me some exhaust advice and some other tidbits and I never didn't give him credit for it and I respect him fully, But to say he taught me everything is bull****. I know and understand electronics and engines very well plus the overall dynamics of a car and how to make it fast. As I said, you seem to think you have something on me and you are SEVERELY underestimating me and my car. Do you completely forget Reading Vii where my car stuck to the bumper of your 2V6 6 spd. with no computer tuning and an auto(without me driving it mind you)?? Do you have an explanation for that?? Just give it a rest and get a life. All that your about is trying to steal away my customers because your jealous as hell that I'm making a go of it and your not. That's why you PM my customers and harass them and that's why your always riding my ass and doing all in your power to make me look bad. Pure jealousy. You can't stand the fact that I came on the scene and quickly learned my way around the ropes and started my own business plus took a speed record. Not to mention I'm a everyday working man that breaks his ass and works hard for his car, And you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and had everything handed to you(Like your POS supercharger and 6 spd.). Just give it time(as I can't just throw 7500 bucks at my cars like some 21 year old kids and won't need to anyway because I can do my own setup better and much cheaper) and I'll show you who knows what around here youngster. I'm just glad you finally irritated me enough to bring out the truth about how you are(as I've been holding my tongue to keep peace)and the dirty and underhanded things you do to get your business, And that's to steal it from others. It's gotten to the point where I can barely do business on here without hearing about Tomssvx contacting them to talk smack about me. Pretty damn sad if you ask me for someone with such "skills". BTW, I'll be making equal length headers soon and they won't cost 1,500 bucks because I'm not a schmuck.
I am offering the headers at $1500 a pop so no one would ask me to to make another set.

Silver spoon??? I am paying for college, my RENT, my cell phone, my food, my car registration(s), and car insurance for 3 cars. That does not even cover all of it. I pay 20k a semester for school out of my OWN pocket. I live on my own, AND I rent my OWN garage. So don't lecture me about a silver spoon. I work my ass off for what I own. Not to mention I have logged plenty of hours fabricating my alternator brackets. Do you have any idea how long it takes to do a 6mt swap? Really? I can do one in my spare time in a week. I would love to see you do one working round the clock in a week.

My problem with you is simple. If I was afraid of u stealing customers, I would probobly hate Tom more, because he does a lot more than you do and he is closer. If I was pissed because you offer services to people i would be pressing mine and bumpimg my service thread daily like you do. I don't like what you do because you DON'T know what you are doing. I fear that eventually you will BEAT the caliper on someones car and in effect destroy their brakes and make them crash. So what if she asked you to put a new motor in... didn't u think... "maybe I should see if she really needs it?" Instead of troubleshooting a miss with an engine replacement?

There is more to say about your "service" dept but that about sums it up

Onto the Website... You are selling all these performance parts.... Can you just get your hand out of the cookie jar or does it need to be everything?? You are selling everything on that page at prices higher than what everyone on this board can buy them for. If I didn't have work in a few minutes, I would sit here and site all of the sites with the real prices and show how u are just pushing them up. If this site is for helping and learning?? What the hell is that?

Like I siad, good luck with the N/A 4.44 title. You should be proud. But you still haven't beaten my N/A time and you never will. So don't act like you are something extra-ordinary. Oh and for the record... you will never catch up w/ my silver....ever and I will race you any day to rpove it... I will spend the cash to get on the dyno, because its for more than just #'s

Tom( and people asked why "angry tom"?)
Number 1. When it comes to SVX's and speed, You will be losing any record you ever had or will have and I WILL be the person that takes them from you. If I have to build a 5 and 6 spd. to take them away, I will(As I am more than capable, I just think they are a piece of garbage waste of time, Just like your S/C). I'm going to prove once and for all who knows what around here about making power and speed.

Number 2. How the hell am I supposed to run a business if I don't mark it up a few bucks???? You think I can just live for free and give away rare and hard to find parts??? How friggin' stupid are you????????

Number 3. My service department is none of your concern as I'd never service a damn thing for you anyway and I don't hear any complaints from any of them. When it comes to wannaraces car, She said her motor was tired as was her tranny and she just wanted them replaced. That's her call, Not mine. Like I said, Just shut your damn mouth about something you have no understanding or knowledge of.

Number 4. I didn't see you address about PMing my customers behind my back and talking smack??? What kind of business practice is that there buddy??

Number 5. I didn't hear the excuse for me running on your silvers bumper either with my "stock" tuning??? Are you selective reading??

Let's just get to the nitty gritty here and to the final point I have to make as I'm sure this will be locked soon.

Tom, Your a know-it-all punk and nothing but and you never will be. I don't nor have I ever liked you and it's because of the way you act, And I've heard the same from more than one member. My problem with you is that your..well.... A schmuck and I hope this thread will shine a little light on who you really are and people will stop thinking your some sort of gift to the SVX(which I've never believed).

the supercharger is more LANs setup that he generously developed for us, so I think its a little rash to put down his work regarding that sense...

if you guys do take this to atco, I'd definitely like to take a shot at the n/a 1/4 mile time
