The garage behind my house has all the performance parts I ever need. 
I order a lot through Thunder Racing, BMR, Madman & Co. and Billingsley Racing.

I usually go to www.ls1speed.com for stuff since I have known most of those guys for like five years.

Nothing like a kid who beat up every shop in town on prices and then bitches when he blows up the motor that has spray on it.
Henry, I had spray on my car too like four years ago. IMO you either were low on oil, had low oil pressure, or the 98 motor just let go. Don't blame the installer of your heads and cam. I spun a bearing the tenth time I sprayed my car nothing I could do.
If you can't stomach the downside of performance stop complaining and grow up. I know how you beat up the shops and yet have two cars, a Z/28 and a show quality low rider Grand Am. Your parents own a restaurant too. Stop being so goddamn CHEAP. When I was your age I had a lot less than you do. WTF!!!!

ya whats your point...
there were so many shavings in my oil and the oil pan...and my crank was nicked when speed inc tried to jack off my balancer pulley... my oil press was low right when i got it from speed inc....
it never had nitrous after heads and cam install... may i remind you again after i got it back from them my nitrous switches had no power and none of my cigerette lighters worked...
they also jacked my car up by the ground effects and damaged them.... so thats my experience and think what you want of it...
and also my 98 motor didnt just let go it had all of 28000 miles and started spraying it at 24k and it went thru about 9 bottles at 100hp....
my car has a new motor now and from now on i sure as hell wont take it anywhere...

When you spin a bearing you will have shavings in the oil.
Good that you do your own work now because I don't think any of the big shops want your business.
For me (owner of www.ls1tech.com) to hear about your attitude here in the Chicago, just goes to show frankly how difficult you are as a person. Had you been a more reasonable person you take back your comments and your negative attitude. If you think that folks are always out to cheat you then you will never be happy.
Shops went out of their way to try to work with you and you continually misplace blame on what happened.

Hey pro stock john "owner of ls1tech" lmao, isn't speed inc a sponsor for your website.......yeah that's what i thought sounds like somebodies a little biased. My I also ask were you there first person for what happened???? Again, you don't have a clue as to what happened, which is obvious since you didn't know jack about the circumstances under which the motor went. Why don't you save your self inflated opinions for yourself, obviously with the way your portray stik6shift98 you're just wasting your breath so why bother.
