Forcefedracing+Jamex=BAD COMPANY

well I must say I rate this company EXTREMELY POOR. I ordered mine over 2 1/2 WEEKS AGO and still have yet to get it. I got excited when I got the UPS Shipping Confirmation Email, thinking woo hoo next week I will have it... Well quess what I don't.

IT HAS YET TO BE SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FU(K IS UP WITH THAT?????

here's the UPS TRACKING NUMBER so yo all can see for yourself....

1Z55T3740395046193

I will advise everyone to stay AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!.
I called and left a message AND sent them an email. I am SOOO PISSED... This has been a waste of time. I just hope I can get my money back!

ok then, forget that idea


this kinda stuff pisses me off too

i bought a Z28 grille off of ebay and it took the kid a month to send it to me cuz he was "on vacation"


well, good luck


did you ever find a 400 block??

i think a 377 is pretty cool

only aspect that concerns me is that cooling problem myth

if you think about it though, you got a nice fat bore and a short little stroke to rev with

hmmmmm, what about a 327 crank and 400 block?

something tells me it wouldnt be possible, but something else tells me it is

Yes I found a block. $150 garanteed good.

The cooling prob is nothing to worry about. FANS!

327/400 I would not simply cause the bearings would be really odd sized. Not impossible, just more difficult. Anyways a good scat crank will rev to my hearts content.

I still have yet to repin that damn harness!. I have it laying in my living room in a box all torn down too...

I payed by paypal and after a week and a half, I e-mailed them asking about it. Miricalously it was shipped the next day and I also got an e-mail back appologizing. I would e-mail them and ask about it. Got mine a couple of days later, sealed and in perfect condition! A little slow, but for $30, can't beat it.

I have called... 3 TIMES!. They keep blaming UPS, So I call UPS and UPS informas me that they never go the call to come pick up the item.

Meracurously the day after I had last called them, I checked the tracking number for $hits and giggles and it has actually been picked up and is on its way.

And no for $30 it can't be beat, bit common 4 weeks to get it?

I think i know what your taking about. That cool jamex bar on ebay, it went for 30 bucks. Saw it posted at tomshardware.com forum???

It is sweet and it really works. You can feel the difference.
Where are they still selling them for 40 bucks??? ****, I would get another just for that price.

With certai ram air setups you may need to adjust the location. Most mount it next to the strut mount plate on top. But Instead of on top of the strut tower i did mine on the sides of it, so the bar was equal height with my TB. But in front of the TB turned sideways. It give me much more clearence.

Anyone ever think of putting one on the back shocks??? Who needs a back seat anyways.

I think there is plenty of room in the front seat. stick car into first gear and put the seats all the way down. plenty of room on the passanger side but it help if the girl puts her legs up on the dash board. Im 6'2" and I have no problems.

LOL! How do you get in the backseat? That backseat is so cramped, not even I can fit back there too good let alone the horizontal mambo! I'm 5'7 and like 200 pounds so I look like a tree stump ( well not really!) Seriously, just get in the passenger seat, it reclines all the way back! I just found this out about a month ago

Like the old yawn trick in the movies to get your arm around a chick, in a thirdgen. Lean over and give her a kiss, and as you goto wrap your arm around here, grab the seat release n in a split second she is on her back laying down. quick reach for your seat n your both out of sight and in cumfy positions.

Yeah, that back seat is way too damn cramped, and the roof isn't high enough.

Someone made a rear frame brace, on the suspension/chassis/brakes forum. An upper shock mount brace probably wouldn't be that effective, since there is no "valley" between our upper shock mounts. Imported cars have the valley of the trunk between their rear shock towers, and that's why they benefit from a brace.
