Sam calls me twice a week and gives me updates on my 4.2 stroker motor.
Its getting there,
i believe that it will get fully built and shipped to me soon.
Every thing that i have bought from him over the last 10 years has been shipped to me in perfect condition , his delivery dates are terrible but it eventually get here.
I was well aware from the past that the motor would take a year and 2 months to get to me.

Was the first 6 months mining the ore? Then smelting?

MMC has been acting a fool since the GTM carb certified supercharger fell through. Just ignore him like everybody else does.

Apparently it was important enough to him, the time frame didn't matter.

The turn around time could be few days to a few years, that is supposed to be between the customer and the supplier. He obviously knew it would take awhile and he still decided to pull the trigger. We really cannot judge his situation because he knew exactly how long it would take.

well at the end of the day there aren't to many places that can be trusted to build a stroked vhr, hell there aren't to many kits that can be trusted to stroke a vhr in the first place, if you want more displacement you have 2 options, and god loves a billet crank lol.

Well after all the horror stories about them, they are probably one of the last places I would let touch my Z. I wonder how many people that don't have a spare motor for their Z would let them take over a year to finish. Not many

There really isn't any point in bringing up Z_eleminator's situation, he knew that it would take a long time to complete his project and he still did it. It's not a fair reflection of GTM at all, they are doing exactly what they said they would in his case.

Some of you might find the time they are taking ridiculous, but it's still what they said and what he finds acceptable. It's like getting mad at a gaming company for releasing a game on it's release day.

Until they actually deliver the engine, we don't know if they will hit the expectation or not. This situation is to be seen.

GTM is not the only place that can build motors, as seen by others that have had other shops successfully build theirs. What if he gets his motor back and it blows because of a faulty build? I wish anyone who is currently dealing with them the best of luck

Wow that's crazy!! That has to be a record. A year to build a motor!? To build a 1500 GT-R only takes 6 months. That's pathetic

Well obviously a 600hp Z takes twice as long. Thought you would know that :inoutroflpuke:

Yeah it seems that way. I guess they go on vacation for a month and come back to finish.
