Just a little advice Ed Jenner, but instead of blowing money on those headers you should have gotten a breast reduction. If you got those off your chest you could do jumping Jacks without giving yourself black eyes.

Like the Bender said, there won't be any limp bamboo around with a crew chief like that!

here is another example to buy chineese..
cody wiggins,cunningham machine in murray ky.
cody lists some machined items on facebook which they produce at their shop in ky.
they looked real nice and I'm thinking cool,a small little american shop that's producing racing components.
I message cody wiggins on facebook and he tells me he has them in stock and can ship on a Monday.
I call him with credit card info Monday morning,he again states they are on the shelf and he will ship them out that day.
well a week goes by,then 2 weeks? so I message him on facebook,no answer...then I call the shop and leave messages and he dosent return calls.
2-3 days later I call him and I catch him.he states he has no clue why they didn't get shipped,he just gives the orders to the office manager and assumes the order is set from there.

cody wiggins says why don't I overnight them to you hence the screw up.im like that would be fantastic!!
problem solved? that was Monday and on Friday I still don't have them!!
then I see on facebook that tommy Cunningham from cunninham machine is bringing 3 sets of them to lights out in Georgia!!!

I text cody like wtf and he states he didn't know but the parts are on backorder because of the black anodizing...like he tells me this almost a month after I ordered them...he told me he physically checked them and they where on the shelf!!
so again...this cody wiggins straight up lied...said they where on the shelf,said he would overnight them...never called me once to give me a status or update,i virtually had to chase him down.
horrible company,horrible service,cunninham machine murray ky

buy chineese!!!!

Your $ is green and good everywhere, get it back from these liars.

They can't be the only shop in the country that produces the parts you want.
