Am I retarded?

That's a good question - I'm not really sure. All the shop has to do is put the engine in the car now, but they're taking their time - saying they got busy with other projects. The way I see it is that they should put those other projects that came in after mine and put them on hold - take a day or two to put my engine in and tune it, and get it back to me. I don't know why they won't do that

I'm hoping within a few weeks I'll have it back. Went with 9.5:1 compression up from the stock 8.5 - so I'm hoping it'll make a bit more power, maybe 530? We'll see.

Oh, and the tow truck guy tore the tabs all off of the right side of my bumper - so I really need a new front bumper although cosmetically it's all fine, really sucks. Am hoping the body shop guy that the shop uses will be able to rig it up somehow to work for a while until I can save up for a new bumper. I was a dumbass and didn't think it hurt the bumper that bad when it happened, so I failed to get the information of the towing company - I could have had them pay for it, but I'm a 'tard.

thats exactly why i transport all my vehicles myself!

Yea man that's the way to do it, I wish there was a friend with a trailer I could have called, damn He tried to pull it up on the flatbed by going through the hole next to the foglight and hooking the damn thing to a little hole in the core support - the metal of which is very thin, but the piece as a whole, by design is very stout, being part of the frame. Anyways, it tore through the thin layer of metal and then the car rolled backwards before I could catch it and pulled the right side of the bumper off. All aboard the failboat.

That's good stuff, I wouldn't feel nearly as nervous at the track with a setup like that - would suck to get a tow from Reynolds to Atlanta,
