Well I went to both of there shops in Sanford FL.
The crew was nice but the management was another subject. Not going to name any names but they offered to build a certain Tuner's engine and didn't even where the oil pressure sensor was located on the 2az motor THAT FOR ME THROUGH A RED FLAG. We asked the owner directly about another specific issue (which I can't recall) but he had a blank look like how should I know I don't build'em I just drive. After that I told him to go with a PTuning build cause this guy has no clue about the 2az in terms of being built for Forced Induction. Currently I heard slowboy moved from there current location to GOD know's where.
In this business you have to be trustworthy. Know your customer base and the product and services you sell or offer.

Yup. The place they were at was being forclosed on. So they moved. They teamed up with a shop that builds motors (which i did not know that they did not build their own motors any more) and needless to say SOMETHING happened and that shop wasn't giving them the blocks they had this shop build. So. One way or another it was bad for business. Period. We really thought they would give some kind of money back or just call it for what it is and give a refund. But nothing!!! That's what I can't stand.

I hear your frustration bro that's why if I build my motor it'll be with someone I know has years of experience and a good reputation. Something like building a motor is no small task.
I hope your car runs strong for a long time.

Doubt it will. When I said something on facebook he lied and said the customer was completely happy. And then deleted me, then talked ____ on me. He thinks I didn't know what was going on.
I just find it awesome that Sir Mike Huml would not respond to boostIT06 but he did have his wife call and do his dirty work for him.
I guess that since he has a whooping 3 employees he can act like a big time CEO.
