So is there a reason why everyone has to stay quiet or is staying quiet? Why is the owner of the car (brabus2) NOT posting who the shop is that messed his car up? I sure would if it was my car. Why the CIA type of posts here? It makes no sense to me at all.

This type of mentality is so stupid! It's as if you are going to get whacked by Tony Soprano for speaking up and telling the truth or your story about this shop. Someone needs to stand up and not feel afraid of getting flamed. Just my opinion.

The only mentality that's stupid is your own. Why does a car have to be "messed up" to have a motor upgrade?

I'm likely going to be pulling my motor next fall in favor of forged internals and lower compression, so what?

Turbo Tom you obviously didn't read the thread so I'll help you out. LAPD already confirmed that the motor blew here.

The last shop (who is to remain nameless at this point) to work on brabus2's car improperly installed his alky injection. It wasn't wired in properly and it shorted causing the motor to hydrolock. The alky injection kit shorted out due to improper wiring and flooded the stock engine with a gallon of alcohol. We did NOT install his alky injection kit.

At brabus2's request, we pulled the hydrolocked motor out and put the 402 in. We also removed his entire alky injection kit. We never even got a chance to run the stock LS2 motor with the APS kit. If the alky injection kit was properly wired and installed, we would have been able to complete it like the other APS C6s we have successfully completed.

I hope this clears this up and will allow us all to move on.

Thank you.

Shawn
If it really is the same shop that built my car, as someone mentioned, then it's A&A. I'm sure Brabus has his reasons for not wanting to comment on the shop. Maybe we should all just let it go.
