How do you know it was an "improperly specified camshaft package"? How did you make that determination?
Do you know the history of the car? How it was used/abused? Was routine maintenance done on it? ??????
........as we say in the industry: One man's hot rod is another man's junk.

Ok... I'll stick my toe in this S show....since you mention that you were aware of the fact that the car had issues and was way down on power did you disclose this information to the person who bought your car prior to the completion of the sale?

I never put car on dyno after to be able to prove what it was... all i had was what hpa gave me and what two other very reputable shops told me and helped me with while street tuning car for me.. after car went 138 i inquired in these two shops which i wont say names to drag them into this but i will say they have some of tastest cars in country... when car csme fom hpa i left with it unfinished due to a fueling issue up top that josh could not fogure out... after a few adjustments on street tuning and logging with hp tubers the fueling issue was resolved and car went to making 18 lbs of boost from the 14 it was logging.. got no clue what they did but car picked up a lot of power by what i could feel and it ran completely different... i never went back to track after that due to them kicking me out first time i went for no cage or license.. i had no dyno to put it on.. but yes i did tell buyer of the issues it had and i was confident in who fixed tune that car was back to normal before i sold ir.. it didnt make 22lbs like hpa said it did but the shops who helped me said its making where it should so i left it at that... i drove car for awhile when it was for sale n had no issues at all.. i feel for buyer and ive trued helping anyway i could through this.. but what i got from hpa was **** from start..he couldnt figure a fuel issue another shop solved in 5 minutes.. after that i had no faith in his ability and stopped asking for help on it...
To answer ur question yes i was honest with buyer about all details of car as to what i was told by builder and places that helped me

May sound like a stupid question, but I assume you're going to put back on the Procharger with a beefed engine, right?

The amount of **** work that goes on by "performance" shops continually amazes me.

Fixed all kinds of little things. This can't be good for airflow.
We were on the chassis dyno yesterday. Reminder, the baseline was 760rwhp.
The fuel system is maxed out and so is the meth nozzle. It needs more fuel or meth at this point. This car should be fun for this summer. Maybe we'll play more later.
Pictures and video coming.
