And all you beefcake nut swingers aren't doing the same? Give me a break.



You have a Hellion kit which only made 600+ HP with twins on a 5.0? And you dont feel ripped off? You know most 5.0s with mods are making 700 easy?

I'm in a service business, so I understand wanting to get customer work done, however I've always had a "what ever it takes" attitude. If a client needs me to call them at midnight because of time zones, at five in the morning, on a weekend, meet them late or early, not a traditional business day, guess what, I do it.

BBR's choice is their own, for their own reasons, in my opinion (and that's worth what you pay for it) that the desire on their part was not there to make this happen. The work could have been done "overtime" late nights and weekend. Drive the 10 hours last night to GA, run today, drive back tonight, back in the shop Saturday morning.

my .02 on the circumstance.

good luck to all and carry on

It's funny everyone posts shit about BBR saying they have customers to take care of first. What's wrong with that? Isnt this what the industry is about when you have a shop do all your own work and tuning. It's funny that people praise Shaun and AED for customer service and say that what it's all about is the customer service. They don't give shit to him for it. Lets face it. Terry has a fast car yes. But does he own his own shop, do his own tuning, assemble the motor, Work on other peoples cars to make money? No he sells cars or whatever he does and has a website that he runs where he's just the middle man to take your money then place the order for you. Then it ships from the company that makes the product. Someone else built beefcakes car and he just pushes the pedal.

They had 5 weeks notice to schedule/reschedule work....and if they weren't going to make it because they had too much work then they should not have accepted the challenge and run their mouths.

Are you serious right now? I don't even know why I respond to idiots like you. I have a stock motor. Nice try though.

Clearly BBR isn't doing such a great job tuning their own car. Maybe Beefcake can get them in touch with a guy? If anything, you should be mad at BBR for leaving you and all their other fans high and dry. No response, no excuse, no nothing. They'd have looked better had they just shown up and lost rather than just no show.

And Beefcake definitely turns wrenches on his car. How is him being a middle man any different than what BBR does??

Chris Jones gets paid to tune bbrs cars, Jon Lund gets paid to tune tbr cars

Bes gets paid to build my shortblock, Tim eichorn gets paid to build their short block

I own the parts business, my partner owns the install shop

I have a team that works great together, I use for me and my customers only the best. Tony Bischoff is the best engine builder in the country. Lund is the best tuner in the country.

Ken could fix the problem with the gt 500being able to get down the track in about 5 minutes, he knows exactly why it's not running right.

Why use sub par on anything

Bottom line, 5 weeks notice, everyone called it,

One day closed doesn't end the world.

They were never going to show up after everyone saw the 2nd car not able to go down the track

If they had, and everyone saw it, they would know the truth.

Btw, the Shelby isn't even their car, so where is he?

I was supposed to race 2 cars!!!

Exactly. Look at all the money and time Beefcake put into making sure he showed up. It's very unproffesional to have a grudge race set up with a lot of people watching and then back out without even telling anyone.

Im dead serious, The 5.0s have proven to hold 750whp and stay together....

Congratulations for them doing that and for you knowing that and being able to say it. Go home pizza boy. I'm very happy with what my car does and the power it makes with the hellion kit. You don't think I could just turn my boost controller up and make that power?

isn't it closer to 650whp at 7.4psi?
i thought that was funny lmao


Who knows, everyone is an Internet genius around here.

This is a reason I don't post much around here, have a sig or a avatar.....
Hell, this is like the 2013 Spanish Inquisition up in this b!tch.
Why BBR said and did what they did or didn't do, who knows. Maybe we will get the story. If they do or don't, doesn't matter to me.

Some people just hate I guess lol. Guy probably doesn't even have a power adder car. He just had to get a jab in and that was the best he had.

I got one...Its just a 3v though... wanna make a friendly wager on it taking you out?
