eddie thats what i thought, 1st thing was it took from march til the end of oct to finish, 2nd thing i said i wanted 700plus hp n/a, 3rd they just didnt do or say as to why the power was down, 4th it wouldnt idle even after 1700 worth of carb work, 5th it was drove more on one engine than 2, off the trailer back on. its all over now , im just not happy paying for a repair if it could had been resolved from the beginning, i asked several times about the dyno and the last time they acted as i called them a liar, all i was doing was stating the fact. mildthunder your correct i wasnt happy with how they turned out. i chose these guys cause of there big name and they were close. but i guess from now own they will go to tenn. ive never had work done by eddie but ive had a few questions and he acts as ive been a customer for a while that shows alot from him. as far as doing work they phased the dist,set the timing, i only touched that when he asked me to,

Johhny Boatman, sounds like YOU got screwed, myself having built quite a few motors in my life and having been to many dynos guessing only I would still lean more towards too much advance killing your motor as its not a great idea to time a boat motor by ear since unles its lean popping you will not hear detontaion until damage has been done, Smitty
As to why it needed more or wouldnt time, who knows but you need to fix damage THEN figure that out next!

That sucks, I woulkd have made sure that engine never left shop until I saw some proof it was dynoed, especially if I paid for both to be done, are you using analog timing light with dial? or digital? Digital ones can be goofy at times, I don't trust them, I had one that was 15 degrees off once, went back to analog....

This is an old thread.
Commanche3six brought it back up, and I responded, because Johnnyboatman scammed a person, Tim, on a bogus Bravo drive.
Johnnyboatman didn't just get scammed, he is a scammer too.
