Have I ever mentioned the time I bought some new wheels?
I feel your pain. |
No todd, Have to say never heard about that.....
Would you like to talk about it? |
Oh I know your pain. I spent 2500 on a transmission that never showed up. Trying to reach them on the phone was impoissible and now their phone number is disconnected. I got the Better Business Bureau on them also. I did recieve a check from them after 2-3 months of trying to get a refund. Guess what.......the check bounced. So I just had to write it off as a loss.

What company did you have that experience with? Was it Race Parts Direct? |
No it wasnt race parts direct. I think the name was Ford parts wholesale. My wife found it online looking for a "new" transmision for our F-350

Sorry bout that guys. I re-read what I wrote and Yes I should have put more info in there. It is my bad on that one. I must have been thinking of what to type and typing something else. :oops: :oops: :oops: I wouldnt want to hurt anybody's reputation unless they deserve it. This time was just a mistake on my part for not putting in enough info. I will go sit in the corner now and think about what i have done.

No harm done, I posted my reply before reading yours

I always love it when people say's ''Slander on the other hand I will not tolerate and as a matter of fact I will aggressively defend against with up to and including legal action'' Alway's show's some guilt in my mind :!: :!:S o when did the President of Race Part's Direct start hanging out here in the forum of Racing Junk :?: :?: Thought people like you had better thing's to do like get a manicure or something :!: :lol: :lol: Sound's just like when someone else ordered some wheel's from a well known company'' :!: :!: :lol: :lol: Hell no ''Dirka'' don't back down from this ''a$$clown'' Don't go to any corner no need to :!: :!:

Thanks to Jeff my 496 is thumping the ground. Now I just need to decide whether or not to junk the Pro Comp heads...... :roll:

I may of been harder than I needed to be on the heads.Basically you get what you pay for.I have pulled 3 rockerstuds out of mine running a cam that is well in spec for the spring set.I couldnt imagine how much trouble you would have with these if you actually ran a roller cam with the roller springs..(Higher spring pressure).It takes some work to get the ports to match any intake and the geometry is not as good as it could be.They are what they are.A cheap knock off.People use them and there are those that have alot of luck with them.This is a perfect example of getting what you pay for.When I put this engine together I saw them and the price was so tempting I went for it.I only wish dart,brodix and afr would be alittle more competetive with their prices.Their quality could eliminate some of the knockoffs, its the price that keeps these things alive.Nobody in their right mind would pick the procomp over the dart if the price was anywhere close..Take care

We took the car out to the track today to shake it down. All I can say is P-I-G! I am seriously hoping it's not a few pulled studs, but there is a popping noise in the exhaust and it sounds like a flutter coming down the return road. Geez, my 427 would pee all over that 496!
