UPDATE 10 July 2006 - I have been provided information that indicates Brian Stoid's real last name maybe West not Stoid. If you live in the DFW area and can verify I would appreciate it.

From a google search:
I found out that I might get an internship at a place called Stoid Racing in Dallas. My moms friend is really good friends with the owner (Brian West) and ...

Sounds like his name is Brian West...

Well I've been provided more info on Mr. West. I'm holding that card, with my lawyer, until he makes his next move.

He did call my shop today and ask what was the bill to fix his FU's. Now to see if he pays.

More to follow.

Some of you guys need to be respectful of the fact that someone has been screwed over by this company and wasted a lot of time and money. So please keep the dumb comments out of this thread.

thanks

[duncecap on] :bday:
Thats not clarifying the what the problem was. If the engine has 2 heads with 1 intake cam in each of them, how can the intake cams be installed in the wrong heads? Unless he is saying his intake cams were installed in someone else's engine. :bday: [/duncecap off]

the cam's can be switched... when I got my lower compression heads from Jim, he had 2 exhaust cams on one head, thus no intake cam so the car didn't run... Sh*t happens

The intake cams are longer than exhaust cams so it wouldn't fit.

I'm starting to believe Stoid Racing's side of the story.
