SLP Stang I have one very important statement for you to remember next time you leave your car there....Exposed wires in a gas tank. Think about the repercusions two wires arcing in a gas tank could have and then get back to me.
Your car has exposed wires in its gas tank. All gas tanks with internal pumps do. Current doesn't start a fire spark starts a fire. The only way it will spark is if the positive wire comes in contact with a ground source. Which it wont due to the fact pump wires are so short and as long as they are crimped they will be fine. Again not defending anybody just stating a fact in retort to a false and repetative statement.Whitten said:SLP Stang I have one very important statement for you to remember next time you leave your car there....Exposed wires in a gas tank.

Now racerat, Im sorry whatever that has happened with your car, happened. Whether or not who's fualt it is.
Don and the guys at modular madness have done nothing but good with us. They have stayed late, waiting for us to get parts. They give us good deals and are very nice and will help with anything we ask about. We were in the middle of doing cams in my sisters 99 gt when we ran into problems with the comp cams, luckly Don had a set of crower's there. Thats where it really started with him. He was very nice and helped us out with the cams and the install when we had questions. He tuned the car off the dyno just to get buy until he could dyno it. We didnt wait and went to Carolina Performance Racing in charlotte. they tuned the car and it made 280-290 hp on motor, and low 400 on a 150 The car ran fine. Don later told us he could get more power and he did. Dons tune put out 305/327 on a very hot day and 440/490 on the same day with the 150. Some told us he upped the timing and the car wouldnt last long, but its still running strong. You cant always believe what people say. Theres bad out ther about everyone, and thats usually what you hear first. Thats the main reasen im posting this. Not everyone will run and post when they have a good dealing with a shop, but every jackass with a computer that gets pissed at a shop, or feels he got done wrong will spread the word fast. The bottom line here is you cant listen to everyone, if you havent personally had problems with don, or the guys. You have no reasen to be talking shit. Take this how you want to. Don has done nothing but good with us.

Sleeper 362 said:I never took a close look at those wires. They are close enough to arc. With no insulation either. I take back my above statements. When I did mine I used wire connectors but the exposed part was in the actual connector so I had no fear. I'm glad it got taken care of. Looks like someone rushed to get the job done. Why did they rush?
