Sounds like the mods should start looking into this as it appears that we have some people who are a little over zealous in their defense of a shop that they claim to have no official affiliation with........

They won't as Pruven is not a vendor here (Thank God). Only thing that shop has Pruven is to never let them touch my car. As has been stated in many threads about shoody shops.

"I wouldn't let them or their tooner within 50ft of my lawn mower"

Any opportunity that presents it self I would take advantage of letting everyone know my experience.
Not getting cars done in the right time frame is squarely on the shop management if you bit off more than you can chew you will choke. Timeframes and deadlines not met are a directly related to poor project management.
I could not have said it better myself^^^^^^^^^
A week over what was promised is acceptable in anyones book,but six months is certainly not.

There you have it in BOLD letters above. SO.......the only thing that pruven has done for you are simple bolt on's that can be done in 1 weekend in your own driveway 525 on an evo 9. Hell, we have one up here that has 6 bolt on's and was at 510 whp. Maybe,just maybe if you had more then just bolt-ons done buy them you would be singing an completly different tune.Just ask anyone who has had them do a "build" and you will hear the same reoccuring song.

car made 525whp for 3 years on a stock block. i didnt want people to know all about my car but anyways, Its a evo 9 with a little bit more than just bolt ons. car was dropped off there last year at the end of july for my build. What they did was pull the motor disassembly the longblock and sent it off to the machine shop for the works. 2.0 short block manley turbo tuff rods, pruven spec airais pistons, arp hardware, acl bearings. the head was swapped out with supertech valve, dual springs and retainers, along with a set of kelford 280/276 cams. they also completely rebuilt my transmission. the car was later finished the end of august. Car made 580whp on pump gas and 660 whp on c16. The car was built by pruven soup to nuts.

Good Luck

this is for you sir not anything toward pruven but ide like to show you where i get my parts and this is what the site says look at it and tell me what you think
http://www.extremepsi.com/store/cust...ype=Crankshaft

this manley crank and many other parts required for my build would have been brought from this company , which stocks EVERYTHING for evos

id like to update everyone i picked up my car on sat night 8/28 and everything is great except for a few small thing that need to be worked out. i have no hard feeling toward anyone at pruven (even though very harsh words and propiganda were used from others), i just wanted my car back and with no other passion except driving your car most of you can understand where i am coming from.
