nice looks like a well built unit. i'll have to get me one of those.

 

Thanks for puttin a link down for that, I'll have to not buy one from edlebrock. Did edlebrock say a reason why it broke, beside weak welds. Are they giving you your money back?

 

just be glad it didnt happen launching on the track or at speed on the highway!

from the pics it looks like the piece was hardly welded at all....any word from edlebrock yet?

i sure hope my new tq arm doesnt break

 

leave the suspension to the suspension guys ie hotchkis & spohn edelbrock is good for intakes and some carbs

 

no word yet....played phone tag once that was about it.

 

That`s what happens when the intake guys try building suspension parts...Mmmm wonder about that fancy named shocks they talk about so much....You up this early Kandied?

 

yeah sometimes i can't sleep....didn't get out of the office until 10 tonight. 8-8 usually 6 out of 7 a week. gotta pay to play....

 

Yea I know the gig I`m sometimes 7 a week but not the late hours just your 9-5 type of job, but I like to fidle around at the shop on saturday and sunday to keep my car and many other hobby cars present and accounted for My job is almost my hobby

 

wish my hobby was my job.....

 

LoL!

I was just reading some about your tune up, what Gives?

And oh yea ...it`s really windy here, can`t sleep either

 

sorry to hear. i hate scam-chargers

 

we won't even get into them, however it really isn't their problem.

yet.....

 

Sorry to hear about that. That must really suck! Hopefully Edelbrock will make their wrong right.

Since we on the topic of Overchargers . . . I will never ever go back to them. Many of time I have ordered parts from them and it took 2 or 3 months to get (Like my 3" cat back exhaust that was in the warehouse!) Their prices are alot higher than Jegs or Summit and atleast with them every time I ordered a part I got it within a day or two. Ramchargers is a bunch of idiots that don't know anything about cars. I went through 3 MSD Coils before putting a stock one one it, as soon as I did that it fired right up and still does to this day, knock on wood! I took it back to ramchargers and they said that my car had an electrical problem and they can refund it because it's an electrical part. Well after raising Hell with them for a good hour I got all my money back!

I feel somewhat betrayed by the company, They have promised and failed to come through on Many things...Your right about the help, but my experince is no matter where you go, it`s 1 person that can make the expirence very good or very bad. If your lucky enough to find a good salesman who actually stays there, your assured of good service if your frequent enough. I can`t bash them much..I really would miss the convienece of running down there to pick up a set of ARP`s or a AEROQUIP -8 90* swivel fitting, Ya know what I mean? You can`t call jegs and have them in your hand in an hour, So however hard it is to deal with these guys..they are the only speed shop that`s close to me. In the end, I`m sure thet will make it right but like most things today...there`s alot BS that`ll go with it. Sad but true

 

Yes you are correct, they are local and do carry alot of parts. Except a 90* 4AN fuel line fitting . . .so they were gonna make me one out of 4 different pieces for like $40, So I said screw that and went to Race and Performance Parts. (These guys are awesome!)

But lucky for me I go to school in ohio and im only 1 hour away from Jegs and Summit! :-D
