Trusted Tuners or Scams ? You Decide.

The following information has come across to me and the persons in question would like to get your input on their serious matter. This is a true story that will soon be out to the public.

If you were getting a stroker motor installed, would you expect to get your block installed and all upgraded parts that came on your car like a 10 quart oil pan etc...What if you found out that your block had been changed to an older one and your upgraded pan etc... were now gone. I know TNT will be named in a Civil suit in the near future. There is very questionable practices where it comes to motor block vin # not matching the Viper block. Also the parts taken off the car and parts of lesser value installed back on. Also parts that we're paid for that were never installed. TNT thinks this will go away it won't.

Dont Start this same shit that you did with .com no one cares, Im having a fucking relaps every time i see your name.
what kind of fucking morons switches engine blocks that have VIN's stamped on them? It's like shooting someone with a cop standing right there.

:thread:
I've read this shit before and honestly do not want to hear it again, it's very, very tired.

What's funny to me is that this ViperJudge seems to want to bring people in the tuning business down and try to hurt their business, but what he's really doing is putting a bad spin on the whole performance industry and giving all tuners a bad name. I have read where people are leery of using any tuner, esspecially in Houston. I for one think this kind of thing is B.S. and am sick of the drama.

I motion to ban ViperJudge
So when others jack Hennessey it is ok. When i am told to make a post and do so, you guys don't want to hear it. Please don't jack my thread. If you don't like it then don't read it.
You are talking about rumors and hearsay, others are talking about personal experiences. There is a huge difference. If the person that this alleged swap wanted to comment here, then I would have no problem with it, but for you to come here and try to make others look bad, well is wrong and I, for one, don't want to hear about it. I'm sick of it. Say something positive for once and I'll be happy.

when you're told to do so? you make a pretty good puppet.
I wish it was a rumor but it is 100% true. I no the person first hand that had his blocked switched.
After it happened the only thing that was said was "what difference does it make the car is still fast"
So if you went to a tuner and he switched blocks in your Viper without asking you how would you feel? Then again maybe VJ shouldnt bring this up and maybe another victom could fall pray. If more people let us know what was happening maybe the post would die down because the honest tuners would grow while the others would just go away.
Again, this is hearsay. I could start 100,000 threads abou Hennessey from what I read on the boards, of course I never would because I have never had any experience with him and for all I know, he's a great guy.
Your last post makes it known that you don't know anything about this matter. Trey you are from Houston, and I know what crowd you are with. By looking at these posts you should know or be able to know whats going on. You will find tht this is not a slam fest, but te truth. Do some research. As most of you know I told the mods that I would not post anything other than the facts on this board. I will back them up.
You can't ban him because I asked him to bring this up. It was my f-n block and from my 2001. Call N.W. Dodge where Carlos did the vin check.
I gave them my 2001 to build and now I have a 1998 block from a 199RT/10 from Calif. The motor had a tap noise and I brought it back. They fixed it at no charge, gave the car back, not one word about a block switch. A vin check shows the block is from a 1998
Open your eyes
VJ - If it's true, then that sucks and TNT should do what it takes to correct the matter. What I question is your motive for the story and what makes you feel it is necessary to post such a story. How were you affected by this?

Let people tell their own personal dealings if they feel they should.

Let people tell their own personal dealings if they feel they should.
One more - Let people tell their own personal dealings if they feel they should.
Why would he have to have a motive? Maybe he is doing this because he does know that there are some great Tuners out their. You should want to know where you can send your Viper and sleep at night. I want to know where I shouldnt send one. Now please explain to me why would he have to have a motive to post other than information?
When I started the ViperJudge, It was to get out many stories that people didn't want to bring up for many reasons. I slammed people I didn't even know. It was wrong. Since then I have made a good friend that I send emails to several times a day. I found out that he was a different person than I thought he was. I knew about his story, then he filled me in on the details. he didn't want to bring this public, so i didn't say a word. TNT was going to fix this on their own terms, but they we're not going to do the right thing. After the lawyers talked ,my friend got the impression that they figured it would go away, so they didn't want to do anything about it. This is total BS !!! I don't like what happened to this good man, so I will post. He wanted to get a feel for what the viper community thought about this. Not getting into a pissing match between some members and the Judge. Also I think he wanted some direction from you guys. I might be wrong about somethings, but these are the pure facts.

So if it is genuine that the guy (jkracer) wants some feedback for what he should do here are my few cents;

First try to get them to return his engine with his parts. Use an independent third party to verify that his car is restored to the condition it should have been in the first place.

IF this doesn't work; go the courts route.
Then, when the filing is done, post the court docket here and what claims you have.

Finally, if these allegations are true i say shame on whoever did this. It's not something i'd like to have done to my vehicle or any of my friends. A 98 instead of a 2000 engine? That is a friggin scam on a grand scale.
It goes deeper than that. But I will bring more info when the time is right. ( if I am still here. LOL)
Well looks like you don't need to as jkracer is telling his own story. jkracer - read the VJ's post and you tell me why I feel he has motives.

I already knew exactly what was going on. I just didn't have permission from Rohn to talk about it.
I also know the story but have kept quiet in respect to Rohn (jkracer). It was up to him to bring when and HOW to bring it to light. Rohn has always been stand up to me. I have no reason to doubt his story which has been verified by NorthWest Dodge (Carlos).
Good luck, Rohn. Take care of business.
