I’d be better off buying a new one from someone else and selling this one when it comes back. Problem is Dynamic said 4weeks. Just got off the phone with them. Paul won’t even speak with me. Lady said she spoke with Paul and he can’t come to the phone. Said they will get it cut open next week and then it would be another week to get it out, so basically at least another 2 weeks. I put the car back together in less time than this. I’ve been very patient with them but that’s running out.
Tried too always something. He won’t come to the phone.
Try A-1 they have been quick both times I have used them.
Called A-1 they said could ship one out Wednesday.
that's like draining the oil and waiting a week to refill it.
It's no wonder they're back logged, sounds like a very inefficient operation.

Does that mean it’s ordered?
No, after I politely let Turbo Action know how I felt she said she would relay the message to Paul and call me back Monday. So, depending on how that goes....I may or may not be placing an order.

Something going on at T/A. About 15 minths ago, a good friend of mine bought a $$$ trans from them and it was fubar upon installation. Called Paul and got a runaround. Fortunately my friend had another Coan trans and swapped that into his car. Finally convinced Paul to have a look at the trans. Took T/A 3 months to turn it around. All with little responsiveness to calls, etc.
I got my shifter from him at his shop in 2020. He seemed OK then but something has changed. I know he's getting up there in age but no excuse for not taking care or speaking with your customers.

Ya this is a shame, as this is definitely not my experience with Paul. Something else is going on if you ask me. Not that it’s an excuse.
Abruzzi has been turning converters around for me pretty quickly. I know one of the builders out there and I can get the converter out there and back within the week as long as they can get the parts. Especially for a glide. Not that I don’t trust Paul anymore but with how long it takes to get one down there and back. I had to find someone else to take care of my converter freshens. And yes Paul has been very hard to get on the phone anymore, like I stated above, he is getting up there in age and very well may be having health issues.

Update: Paul called me back this morning. We talked and he said he would be shipping it back today or tomorrow.
He said my cam was to small and I needed like 280/290 Duration and a centerline like 102/104….
….Not sure I agree with h on this one.

I sure hope he DOES ship it as stated!
Did you ask what his major malfunction was.
I did not. I politely let the lady who answers the phone know last Friday know how I felt. I wasn’t rude just expressed my frustration with her with the information received from them. She understood and said she would relay this to Paul and stated she would call me back Monday morning. So, Paul ended up calling me back this morning which is a plus. Paul and I talked and he said it would ship today or tomorrow.

This thread is so long I can’t remember which model converter you went with? 17508XXSM-42? 44? 46?

I agree with him on the cam. I see it on the dyno all the time.
The cam was one of those things that every cam company had an opinion. Most said 270/274 was too much. I just went with Racer Brown recommendations. I guess I will find out soon enough. It is a decent amount bigger from the old cam which was 254/268.

what's the new cam specs?
New converter, Higher flash ?
Well it’s my new turbo action converter that I sent back to get a higher stall. Hopefully they got it right.
Here it is. I wrote on the card what it degrees in at as far a centerline and exhaust open/close.
Hopefully they didn't just box it up and send it back.
No he cut it apart and then gave me a call. He said it was a little tighter than he liked. We talked and he seemed to know what he needed to do. So, hopefully it’s a lot closer to what I need.
