Last April (yes almost a year ago) I replied to a post by Stripper Motorsports looking to "borrow" a 6.1 intake to develop a nitrous system for it. I agree to send them my new in the box spare 6.1 intake, and they agree to do the nitrous plumbing for free and make me a deal on the nitrous kit. They also want to CNC the TB and dyno test it, then send me back the CNC TB at no cost to me. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Well I get my intake back less TB and missing parts from the nitrous system.

Missing parts:
TB
2 purge kits
Fuel pressure safety switch

The kit also arrived with high pressure (58 psi) jets and I told them many times I needed low pressure (10 psi) jets. I even talked to Brad a bunch about my fuel system plans, so he knew exactly what I was doing.

After a bunch of calls, emails and excuses I get 1 purge kit.

More calls, emails and excuses gets me the 2nd purge kit.

At this point they wanted a set of CNC 6.1 heads, so as a show of good faith I send them out the heads and let them mail me a check. Well after many calls and emails I finally get a check, and it BOUNCES! Another round of calls and emails and they did cover the check and my cost on the fees.

I still never got the TB, fuel pressure safety switch, or the right jets. For a while they made excuses then just quit returning my calls, emails, and posts online.

After a few months I had to just buy the parts from someone else.

TB $175
Fuel Pressure Safety Switch $40
Nitrous Jets $225

Total $440

If they don't want to reimburse me for what I spent (no I will not take a check) then they can send me the parts and I will use them on another project or something.

I'm definitely interested in hearing the other side of the story considering this was posted as someone's first post. Nothing like creating screenames at multiple websites because you're upset with a company.

I think Beast is on the OC. I read something about this there a few weeks ago. He may have a LX.

Greg, yep this is Scott.

Guys I use this same handle on just about every hemi related forum on the internet.

I have done some lurking here, but never posted.

I'm the real deal and this will not be my last topic here I promise.

These guys (stripper) disapeared from the forums we support and/or visit frequently so I figured they were gone for good. I saw a link that they sponsor this family of sites (cherokeesrt8, 300c, and charger forums) and were posting again so I came here to hopefully get resolution after a year.

Hey bro, you should have done it yourself, less hassle for sure. I welcome you here, along with any valuable info you care to provide.<promo removed by admin>

Yea I know

I was in the middle of getting married, opening the shop, and my 6.1 conversion, I figured if he could plumb it nice for the cost of shipping it was a deal...

I'm wondering if they are aware of this thread or not. I agree!
In a case like this, where someone has posted a complaint all over the internet, the FAIR thing for you to do would be to provide a link to the subject vendor so they are aware and can also be heard if they choose to respond.

For those of you that expressed a desire to hear the other side before comment, thank you!
Let's also keep this thread on topic and not use it to promote someone else's shop.
