************Most parts are brand new.... i have not run it at the track yet because I am still tuning the car. there is no reason this car wont go into the low to mid 10s on motor and pretty deep into the 9s on the gas once tuned .************
HMMMMMMMM!!!!
I didn't see low to mid 10s I barely seen 11's
I think the part you are overlooking is the fact that He also told you
HE HAD NEVER RAN THE CAR!! Now, unless you believed he had a crystal ball how could he possibly do anything but guess as to what ET it would run? If the parts list on the engine was accurate then he did nothing wrong in predicting the ET....he just was incorrect. I wouldn't have believed low 10's from that list of parts IN THAT HEAVY CAR, I would chalk it up to bench racing /guessing....that isn't a slam on him or the engine. He either exaggerated or guessed wrong but IF that list of parts is correct I don't see where you have any right to complain about the performance..it would be MUCH DIFFERENT if he had TOLD you that the car HAD ALREADY ran those numbers.
JMO on things, but he said he told yoyu 500 hp or slightly more??? 500 HP won't even get a 3500lb car to go low tens.You would need over 600
