Scott Shafiroff Racing and Vinny Budano General Manager of Shafiroff racing I got a question for you con artists..........

Have you ever wondered how a racer/businessman can afford thousands and thousands of dollars in racing engines plus racing at numerous tracks and still afford to do so?

The answer is they cheat on their taxes plus they overcharge clients by charging them twice for services they dont provide then smile to their face saying "oh well" thats how they accomplish such a thing and its not right and soon you Vinny BUdano is gonna find out what Business Ethics means and how its gonna be a huge thorn up your butt....LOL

I was told by you Vinny Budano general Mamager of Shafiroff Racing that it would only take 4 weeks to build my 351w Ford engine that had already taken half apart further disassembled and built into a 408w 10.5:1 pumpgas engine built for EFI and I specifically asked for a windage tray be added in the oilpan. Im the customer and my requests should be accomodated.The stock intake stock heads pushrods and lifters were already removed so it wasnt even a full disassembly that needed to be done.

The services of your $2850 services are listed in the screenshot of the basic rebuild service..Only 3-4 items of that $2850 service could be utilized after me supplying the brand new edelbrock aluminum heads,Comp Cams camshaft kit complete w/valvesprings and T-chain,Comp Cams Magnum roller tip rockers ,balancer with pointer also HP bolt..all they needed to do was machine the block install the already balanced crank kit that comes with everything needed to install into a properly prepped bottomend pull the brand new heads apart and verify fitment of parts plus install recommended valvesprings for camshaft.Alls they did was install the springs into the heads.





They also took my $400 rollertip rocker kit threw it in the box and without consulting me charged me an extra $600 for full roller rockers that arent as street friendly as the ones I chose and brought to be installed as I spent hours of research in order to put together a virtually bulletproof high torque engine package thats very street friendly and theyre building my engine like its gonna blaze the quarter mile in a weekend warrior racer...

In addition to Vinny Budano manager of Shafiroff Racing 35A Davinci Dr Bohemia NY 11716 charging me $600 for the extra overkill valvetrain components the guy who installed them didnt even verify and set up the proper valvetrain geometry between pushrod and valvestem putting undue stresses on my brand new valves in my brand new heads as they installed pushrods that are .100" too short leaving the extra and proper torque and hp on the table in lieu for being lazy but still after 10 texts you didnt see that as an issue Vinny Budano general manager of Shafiroff Racing when you tried brushing it off like Im some schmo that knows nothing about engines and IMHO when it comes to street engines Im willing to bet I can run rings around the jokers at Shafiroff racing and do it in half the time and IMHO I should of did the build myself too............





I also paid to have my bellhousing runout checked and also asked for the warranty paper for the $5000.00 Tremec Transmission Im installing to be filled out. I was charged 125.00 for the service and told verbally that it was a .010" runout.....Vinny Budano General Manager of Shafiroff Racing 35A Davinci Dr Bohenia NY 11716 youre totally wrong and your guy Charlie did the process 100% totally wrong apparently too as I got almost a 100% dead nuts reading after having to waste the time to do the service I paid Vinny Budano of Shafiroff Racing to have the guys he directs take care of.The process took me close to 3 hours to verify sizes checking 4 times

During the twelve weeks I sat n waited for my engine to be built I was never called and given status reports like I asked to be kept in the loop so I can get sizes and clearance info to write down on my end to verify Im getting what Im paying for but wasnt furnished with anything but an overly padded bill.[see pics]

I never got an email unless it was a reply from one I sent and sometimes wasnt answered for days but now that Im threatening you guys with affirmative action you're on the phone calling me every 10 minutes.....

Vinny Budano General Manager for Shafiroff Racing 35A Davinci Drive Bohemia NY 11716 the time for talking is over...Im pissed about how I was treated also how my engine was built and in the massive amount of time it took to do and simply put you owe me back $2500 of that $2850 rebuild service I was charged plus money taken off for not putting my windage tray plus not even prepping my block in the right manner as theres still rust inside it....see pictures VINNY BUDANO or Shafiroff Racing 35 Davinci Dr Bohemia NY 11716





You fool me once Vinny Budano General manager of Shafiroff racing 35A Davinci Drive Bohemia NY 11716 shame on you but when you try me a second third and fourth time youre leaving with a black eye and a kick in the nuts Plain n simple also to mention Vinny Budano you were warned about the kind of guy I was yet you didnt see the big picture of how this all could unfold until after I had to literally cut down the trees to see where your life went wrong now youre gonna be scrambling for somewhere to hide.........Theres nowhere to hide anymore unfortunately and FYI..;- you messed with the wrong guy as youre gonna soon find out and realize in the absolute worst way...Get your latex rainjacket w/wade hipboots and a scuba tank because your life is really gonna get interesting thats for sure because you're strapped in for the ride of a lifetime now....

Anyone thinking of using the services of Shafiroff Racing 35A Davinci Dr Bohenia Ny 11716 ..DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY UNLESS YOU HAVE STATURE IN LIFE like a Bernie Madoff...Theyre too high n mighty for the little guy nor do they do as you ask. "The Customers always right";- isnt in their vocabulary of business ethics and you'll pay for services you wont get and get stuff you dont ask for and dont get the things you do ask for..

Shafiroff Racing doesnt care about anything but your money they need to go racing every weekend taking cash the taxman is supposed to get and use it for means of their own personal enjoyment..

And I bet you idiots thought you won today...LOL....Youve only been set up even more for a harder fall...

AUTHOR: CAM2 - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, May 24, 2022

Today the judge wouldnt allow documents sent from a NYS agency to be entered into evidence because a lawyer says he doesnt know if the paper is legit and the judge wouldnt read it as it had a good basis to have the case awarded in my favor then allowed the crispy a*s Posner to steer the court in your direction with the judge as a willing participant and dont think its not gonna appear that way too as it was all recorded via the microphones...

I stated to the Judge you jerkoffs werent a registered repair shop and shouldnt of been doing business because you werent essential but you can see the judge already had everything carefully orchestrated from the time that was picked for the trial to the timing of the expert witness that testified on your behalf on a matter that arose 2 years after we did business and had no bearing to what I wrote on the paper when I started the lawsuit so the Judge is criminally liable too...

I first made a complaint to Letitia James Office ;-you idiots;- and she referred me to the DMV Bureau of Investigative services by forwarding my complaint to them and they found out you guys werent a NYS Registered repair shop...Those documents are legal and the judge should of read them but she didnt and let you guys railroad me so it shows clearly that I was set up and discriminated against for representing myself........

I mention it here a lil about adding the engine damage to the suit if possible and you idiots go and call Mr Bob Buehler from way out of RIGHT FIELD to get him to testify against me....LOL...Wrong move ...As Bob stated for the judge that at no time we did business did I mention you idiots to him....LOL

That is going to be yours also the phucking judges lynch pins along with your crispy a*s lawyer...I hope youre all proud of yourselves and gave yourself a big circlejerk afterwards....I went right to ACE to confront Mr Buehler to tune him up but on the way my lawyer said that he needs to make a call and dont hurt the guy yet...2 mins from Ace he calls back and says i HAVE A HUGE CASE & DONT GO BACK TO COURT AND WE WILL PETITION THE SUPREME COURT .

This aint over...We're going to a much higher and more expensive court now azzholes and Helfer is gonna lose her job especially using a movie as an example then wouldnt grant my request and Im the Plaintiff!...Movies are fake as hell yo but what wasnt fake was the way I got railroaded and even Hellen Keller could see that one a mile away...!!!!..So will the Supreme Court..........LOL

When I filed my lawsuit I also wrote what the basis of the lawsuit its clearly written for the judge to see the basis of the lawsuit and she still allowed it to be driven off the rails due to the fact I wasnt given preferential treatment for being ProSe by asking me if I want t interject ...

I have the paperwork I filed along with what I wrote as the basis of my lawsuit..Nothing states engine damages that ocurred 2yrs after you guys messed up my engine that wouldnt of lasted 2 days had I run it the way you idiots built it for me thas 100% for sure........

I asked the judge for a continuance so I can get expert testimony plus my lawyer and all of a sudden Bob Buehler the guy who repaired my engine damage that was unrelated to the basis of my suit was is being called as a witess for you guys yet the judge said he was my witness too...Thats conflict of interest isnt it and how was he my witness did he see the problems I had with the engine even before I ever installed it into my truck or ever started it up?

Didnt you think it was rather strange how quick the case got into court over the cylinder damage and how all of a sudden like BOB Buehler said he was contacted by shafiroff to be their witness but BOB never found it strange Shafiroff was calling him especially when I never mentiond who I was sueing and why to BOB ever!! Theres therub and the way you idiots are gonna fork over millions in Supreme court...Your lawyer and the Judge too!!

You idiots probably thought I badmouthed you guys and everything to Bob Buehler so you figured you screw me by getting Bob to testify to sway the case in your direction by conveniently providing me with my own expert witness for testimony which is 100% illegal and the bar associaltion will hate having to disbar a crispy a*s lawyer like Mr Posner so he will be eating beans and weenies for he rest of his days...

Posners gonna go down bigtime just like the way Bob Buehler is gonna go down because you guys made him the patsy by lying to him and using him against me......The court minutes that was recorded the whole time wont lie and the process of events cant be misconstrued aswell as my numerous requests for an adjournment o get a lawyer and an expert witness.. ...Helfer is going to get a huge reprimand!!

I asked for an adjournment and the judge didnt honor my request yet I let your lying a*s Vinny Budano use a bullcrap funeral excuse on April 26th when I should of asked for the case to be thrown out based on the facts that your lawyer didnt even show up and had plenty of time to ask for a continuabnce by mail too but they sent you scott shafiroff...The bar association will be on the case believe me...LOL..

Its cool because now its a way bigger kanundrum youve woven yourselves into plus now you added a judge also Bob Buehler into all of this and this time no lawyers and nobody can help you because if my court minutes disappear there will be real hell to pay as Helfer will look guilty as p***k..

Remember what I said about lies compounding lies....Youve compounded this into something so big the Supreme court is gonna award me millions and Im gonna own you idiots.....LOL

By the way today I dropped the dime on you idiots to the SBA too...Get reay for the schittstorm...I havent begun yet.... The judge had the outline for the basis of my lawsuit and she allowed your lawyer to steer the case away from the facs that took place 2 years ago and not the immediate repairs....

Your seemingly superior minds didnt account that what happened today was awefully calculated to railroad me and most likely because of the way I disrespected your lawyer in emails but hes gonna be a news story now when this all hits the Supreme court.....LOL.........

Enough said and enjoy your impromptu victory as Im gonna win the entire war plus alot more money;- Watch and see....LOL

I have plenty of money to tie you idiots up for a long time and my lawyer doesnt play nor will you know who he is until the day we see each other in a much larger court over this matter.

WHY does a standup businessman like Scott Shafiroff always need to lie?

AUTHOR: Happy - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, May 08, 2022

Scott Shafiroff walks into court on April 26th and says Vinny is at a funeral meanwhile I had 2 deaths in my family and one was the night before too and I still made it to court!!

Oh yeah and Mr Shafiroff stated he was at the funeral the night before and it "ALL WENT ON THE COURT MINUTES!!" It's rare but contempt of court has been stricken on people in civil court if proven beyond a doubt youre liars and Ive proven it...Have your lawyer bring proof Mat 24th because Im putting in a motion to dismiss unless you produce and still it will get thrown out because yu cant produce proof like I can and its posted below..

Mr Shafiroff you and Mr Budano are the lowest pieces of crap and for a guy that never met me personally you sure knew who I was holding the door to the courtroom with a mask on....LOL

Heres every piece of evidence I'm gonna display in my opening arguement....

PRINT EVERY PAGE AS THIS IS YOUR DISCOVERY!!! I shouldnt do it but without an expaination to go wiuth the pictures you'll vaguely know my speil and my direction but print every picture and KEEP THEM IN ORDER TOO!!!.....LOL

Im not spending $$$ to appease your lawyer...YOU DO IT with company ink and company paper....LOL The stuff Im presenting will be on 28lb laser printer highest quality paper for me and the judge...

See you jokers on May 24th and bring your crutches and neck braces so you guys can look like the victims.................LOL

These are the latest facts and figures against Shafiroff Racing and THEIR ILLEGAL ALSO SHODDY REBUILDING SERVICES!!!

AUTHOR: CAM2 - (United States)

POSTED: Monday, April 11, 2022

I can't say it enough but I do my best to say as much as I can about the SHODDY REBUILDING SERVICES of SCOTT SHAFIROFF Racing Enterprises Inc. 35A Davinci Drive Bohemia NY 11741 and each time it gets more deeper and more in-depth with new discoveries each time!!

But for referrence whats written here is all Im going to need to sink you guys like a battleship being torpedoed....LOL

The Shoddy Business located at 35A Davinci Drive Bohemia Ny 11741 is Owned by Scott Shafiroff and Operated by his General Manager Vincent Vinny Bagadounuts Budano.

Scott Shafiroff Racings buisness license is for Building and selling BRAND NEW RACING ENGINES ONLY!!

THEY HAVE NO DBA for THEIR REBUILDING SERVICES & HAVENT HAD ONE SINCE MOVING TO DAVINCI Dr in Bohemia NY BACK IN 2008!!

When you want to go from racer to commercialized commodity you have to be legit Scott Shafiroff and Vinny Budano.

If you guys have gotten that rebuilders DBA after Feb 7 2022 it wont do you guys any good!! When we go to court it will be noted you guys werent legit at the time we did commerce and your new DBA will be voided,your registration fees will be refunded,you'll be fined a few grand and you will have to also change the business name BECAUSE SSRE wont be allowed to OPERATE as SSRE Anymore aznd Offer Rebuilding Services!!!!!......LOL

I told you waaaayy back Vinny when we were still sort of friendly while you guys were fugging up my 408W and putting me off for 12weeks that Im not the kind of guy to mess with as I afford myself plenty of time to remind crooked phucks like you every week what you did and how soon youre gonna pay for it all and FEEL IT in very harsh ways while I take valuable time to STICK IT TO YOU Phucksticks...!

Im sure theres people out there mad Im badmouthing SSRE after getting a great engine and like I said ANYONE CAN MASS PRODUCE BRAND NEW ENGINES OVER AND OVER as the customer has no control over the builds and what they get.....Not everyone can REBUILD ENGINES!! 

So Vinny Bagadonuts let me ask you why you think lying to ME, The BBB and the Dept of Consumer Affairs was such a good idea?

I know the answer but you wont admit it as youre too high on yourself and the name SSRE....

So now we will recap a lil to summarize this whole endeavor...

I bring a pretty clean looking 351w engine block to SSRE on 6/15/2020 approximately 1:20pm along with brand new in the box Edelbrock EStreet heads,Comp Cams complete camshaft kit,Comp Cams RollerTip Rockers w/ pushrods,PowerBond SFI balancer neutrally balanced, ATI Pointer and ARP crank bolt along with neutral balance flywheel.

Boy oh boy thats one very disgusting and dirty engine.....Just like Vinny wrote to the BBB....LOL

https://i.postimg.cc/mkK4B8SH/IMG-20200615-132015576-HDR.jpg

 

You yourself Vinny Budano General Manager of SSRE said it will only take 4 weeks and said you had everything handled but in the response to the BBB was it was a dirty engine and not a typical build yet you jokers offer a 427& a 460 smallblock Ford bottomend for sale so hard are they to make plus that engine I brought to you I TOOK PICTURES OF VINNY>>>!!!!! You saw them and so will the judge and I bet Vinny never thought I was the kind of guy to cover all my bases either.....Booya Vinny......LOL....!!

I kept emailing you along the way regularly asking for updates etc and I got no responses about the rocker arms,pushrods etc..I got a bunch of Thank-Yous espeially when I supplied the info about the windage tray with part #'s....A windage tray you didnt say a word about being detrimental etc for 12weeks and believe me its not detrimental to my build as new car manufacturers are making the newer engines with WINDAGE TRAYS to gain extra fuel economy!!!! I'll even mention about how a month before my engine was dynoed I asked for TALL VALVECOVERS w/Breathers and I have an email as proof!!..What did I get Vinny!!!!!!!

https://i.postimg.cc/dVYfcbYY/Inked-Screenshot-2020-10-01-162148-LIa.jpg

Your solid ground is crumbling from under both your feet Vinny Budano and Scott Shafiroff!!

Then theres the matter about the bellhousing check you said your guy did and my email to you asking you to review the specs that the seller of the TKO600 Transmission kit wanted. A kit I paid $5 grand for and that you needed to print and fill out page 10 for my warranty plus I also supplied RobbMC offset dowels in .007 and .021 for adjustments".You told the BBB that the specs of the bellhousing was industry standard of .010" yet the transmission I bought for my warranty it states that minimal runout is .005"!!! Its clearly written in the manual in BLUE INK!!..

https://i.postimg.cc/gkbBFCVK/Screenshot-2022-03-30-181459-Vinnys-guy-cant-read.jpg

 

I was charged $125.00 for that service and when I got the flywhel back it was still wrapped up brand new so what flywheel did your guy with 35yrs in the industry use Vinny?He's supposed to use my shimplate too and the shimplate had ZERO witness marks of ever being installed!!!

Heres pictures for proof Vinny look at the tape on the box...look at the lack of fingerprnts or witness marks where screws were ever attached to it.

https://i.postimg.cc/sDSx1hZr/Inked-IMG-20200928-235802532-LI.jpg

 

Then while doing the bellhousing check myself it was revealed that my ValveTrainGeometry was off and there was a wicked angle on the pushrod that was pushing on the valve.Upon inspection using a dial indicator found that my VTG wa off by .100" when Shafiroff Racing took my Comp Cams Roller Tip rockers and throw them in the box and charge me $600 for Comp Cams Magnum roller rockers , 7/16" studs and 8,250" pushrods that werent even installed correctly and the guideplates on 4 cylinders were also installed crookedly..

Heres a video and anyone who knows about VTG and how to check for proper VTG will know how much you guys screwed me too..

https://vimeo.com/698270384

I should of stopped right there and tore the whole thing down and checked clearances of the pistons in the bores,ring gaps,bearing gaps because Shafiroff never did and never stated the oil viscosity I should run either based off of lifter bore clearances as the bottomend was totally standard size with a brand new stroker crank and even those clearances werent checked either...

First things to go with-in 1000 miles were those crappy roller rockers made for racing and not pumpgas street vehicles..After a 40 mile run they sounded like a sewing machine and I have a flattappet HYDRAULIC CAMSHAFT and it sounded like I had a SOLID MECHANICAL CAM!

https://vimeo.com/688536226

Then came on the bottomend piston slap that made it sound like there was a shift ring broke in my transmission so I paid $400.00 to have it shipped to Tennessee and opened up only to be told they found Zero wrong with the transmission....It was actually piston slap transferring through the transmission up the stickshift!!!!!!!!!!

Before the engine even hit 2k miles I thought the piston slap was valvetrain noise from a collapse lifter and there was a suspect lifter but not one to cause the racket like my engine suddenly turned into a diesel engine overnight..It was piston slap!!!!!!!

Reason why is because Scott Shafiroff Racing Engines doesnt know the difference between a 2618 and a 4032 alloy piston as my pistons were made of a hardly expanding high silicone content 4032 alloy pistons and my cylinders were bored and finish honed for 2618 pistons that expand as they heat up to fill the clearance so the piston doesnt seize in the bore...........They also dont know how to chamfer the cylinder bottoms prior to boing/honing either!

Heres the email direct from the BIG CHEESE HIMSELF...Did you think I would come to your turf and let you guys get the upper hand or try and trick me up on camera?...Nope...Im not that dumb and Im not the crook... You guys are and its written in BLACK N WHITE!!!!!!!!

https://i.postimg.cc/8cGygv2b/Screenshot-2020-11-20-220115.png

Those edges on those cylinder bottoms are so sharp they shredded the piston skirts along wih pistons slapping in the bores too! A 45yr veteran forgot how to chamfer?...Maybe he has alzheimers or maybe its his way to stick it to the Ford guys....!

https://i.postimg.cc/WbxC3Dc0/IMG-20220315-211302.jpg

 

https://i.postimg.cc/jjcMz2mg/IMG-20220314-172259.jpg

 

https://i.postimg.cc/NF3DgH2M/IMG-20220314-201439.jpg

It really sucks to pay a 45yr+ Veteran in the industry good hard earned money for Crap Service and even Crappier Workmanship then have to re-do it all over again MYSELF!!!

Look at the chamfer on the cylinder bottoms!!!!

https://i.postimg.cc/mrm0TmLg/IMG-20220329-135142.jpg

 

https://i.postimg.cc/Sxh0dX1k/IMG-20220329-135044.jpg

 

Another thing to note is if you look at the quote theres ZERO signature of MINE and ZERO SIGNATURES on any and all invoices Shafiroff will produce in court on April 26th and the first rule of business is to get your customers to SIGN the ESTIMATE or Quote and sign the FINAL INVOICE TOO!!!!!

They teach you all that stuff in BUSINESS ETHICS CLASSES...Classes Scott Should of taken when he became a fulltime businessman back in 2008!!..................LOL

Thats gonna be my OPENING MOTION along with Compelling you and Scott to provide adequate proof you guys were licensed to do legitimate rebuilding services with a legitimate and legal DBA during the time period of 6/15/2020 and 2/7/2022..When you cant provide sufficient proof to the JUDGE [not Arbitrator] of either motion the case will be decided in my favor right off of the bat!!....LOL

Like I stated on the Vimeo comments in my videos Im using as proof you guys lied and you guys will have to change your name,bank accounts,stocks, etc......Its gonna get quite expensive.

How are you guys at SSRE gonna explain the name change to future customers and make it sound viable without having this report coming back to bite you guys right in the azz......LOL...LOL

I guess it will be bankruptcy,auctions and bye bye to SSRE forever but just know from the day I beat you guys in court Im putting personal judgements on both of you against what you both owe me!!...............

Just remember the transaction between us is similar to a guy who says hes a legally licensed engine rebuilding professional and isnt so I have to sue the persons not the illegal business name to legally get paid but its also very personal to me aswell.....

April 26th cant come fast enough to stick it to you lying and illegal idiots but until then I'll be very busy getting ready for the day we meet in Trial Court with a REAL JUDGE!!!!!!!

Theres many many many more things I could point out like the timing chain cover being wrong for an EFI engine and you guys using a 4pc oilpan gasket when the block was an 87 and needed a 1pc oilpan gasket and that because you idiots dont know the difference between the years and gaskets needed started a leak at the oilpan at the main bearing too..

This is a non EFI timing chain cover with V-belt system

https://i.postimg.cc/ydv9QSy5/IMG-20201017-115819150-HDR.jpg

Heres what an EFI timingchain cover looks like and I had to swap out and how I found out You assholes put the wrong pan gasket...

Heres what was found when the edelbrock heads were removed and the piston tops cleaned up.

Heres a short video of how much the pistons rocked in the cylinders...I also have a video of it running like a diesel too if you want to see....

Heres the video of the audiofile from the guy who told me that the roller rockers would work with my package...Theyre the manufacturer....LOL

Now heres the pictures of the engine block you prepped...Look at the lack of chamfer and also to mention the cylinder sizing to piston size says you guys bored and honed my block for cast or 2618 alloy pistons and used 4032 high silicon content pistons that hardly expand......

Heres a picture of the bill to do all the machine work to fix your phuckups Vinny and Scott..Mistakes you both personally made in my build while not even holding a legal DBA to do rebuilding services for the public...Thats awefully crooked Scott and Vinny!! You're cheating the taxman out of his real due....!!

Dont try and say anything about this bill...Had you asked I would of gladly filled out a tax form like I filed with this guy......Dont worry I have the actual bill with numbers......This one I had printed up special just for you.....LOL Add in the $641.00 for new pistons and rings from Summit and youre looking at like $2250.00 to fix Scott Shafiroffs rebuilding services and their employees aswell as Vinny Budano Bigshot of Shafiroff enterprises.

When you called me today did you think I wanted to hear what you have to say....The pictures of my disgust say it all you idiot!!..From intake to oilpan you guys phugged up my engine every which way but the right way..

https://postimg.cc/kRg9t8Hw

Heres pictures of the new King rod bearings I had to buy...

https://postimg.cc/G8qnrtpD

As you can see I have plenty of tools to get the jobs done....Im just ever so phucking sorry I didnt have the gusto to build my engine back then like Im forced to now because as they say ..."If you want stuff done right do it yourself" and I am....Why...Because it just shows how full of schitt you guys are.

I didnt even get the results or even a picture of the inside of the oil filter you guys were supposed to cut open and inspect...Whares the pictures?...Were they too full of glitter...?

Check out this puicture Vinny...You bored my cylinders out fpr .,030" oversize pistons yet the cylinders still had PITTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Whats your excuse for the 3 cylinders with pitting....

I dont know Vinny Budano what you call it but it definately wasnt a professional rebuilding job...It was more like the Hellen Keller School of engine rebuilding......

https://postimg.cc/nsLhDyQq

As you can see I took the heads apart and put the springs leepers and locks in...I also got some shaft mounted roller rockers too.....I guess those Comp Cams Roller rockers you put in my engine without my ok were cheaper than the lash caps I bought to make the stamped steel roller tip rocker arms work in my engine....Now you guys are gonna pay for my upgrade....LOL

POSTED: Tuesday, March 29, 2022

I dropped off my destroyed engine block that was totally bored/honed and assembled totally wrong last Monday Vinny Bidano and got it back yesterday. This is what a properly prepped Ford Smallblock looks like!!!

Not only did they bore and hone it but they used " TORQUE PLATES WHEN THEY DID IT!!!!!!!!!" Wheres the extra charge for torque plates on my build from you non-engine rebuilders at Shifty Shaftiroffs?

I know why there aren't any charges..!!.;- , It's because you guys didnt even use torque plates on my engine as torque plates take time to setup the right way and also when checking ring endgaps it makes the task alot harder with the extra 1 1/2 - 2" of torque plate to reach through to accomplish the task....

You guys didnt chamfer the bottoms of my cylinders either...They were so sharp they chewed my pistons up...

This is how you jokers perpped my block and heres a picture of how a properly prepped block looks....Look how the bottoms of the cylinders are SOFTENED Vinny!!!!!!!!!

This is how you do a block for a stroker kit the RIGHT WAY Vinny and Scott Shafiroff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As you can see I went with Clevite Main bearings and you can see the slight radius on the cylinder bases......You guys aint no better than Podunk Larry the backyard mechanic........Larrys better..........LOL

And guess what Vinny......?......I also got new .040" oversize pistons w/rings etc and put the pistons on the rods last night using Spirolocks then I put the rings...The whole process took 3 hours and I did it in my livingroom while watching TV....LOL and yes Vinny dumbazz I got all the ring splits oriented in the right positions on the pistons....LOL

I also had to pay to have my stroker crank rebalanced as you guys used SRP professional brand pistons that were 397grams and the company now has issues producing 399 gram .040" oversize pistons for me due to the Ukrainian /Russian conflict which would of saved me time and you guys money because guess whos gonna pay for this in the end Vinny......Thats right..;- you and Scott...LOL..

A week ago the next night after I dropped off my engine block which was Tuesday 3/22/2022 I decided to do the process to mt Edelbrock E-Street heads that the employees of your sham company didnt even do but charged me for the service... I disassembled the heads cleaned up the valves then putting the springs I paid for with my camshaft kit along with the new retainers and 7 degree locks...Plus I checked spring pressures and spring heights..That whole process took me 6 hours . 3 hours per head.

Heres pictures of the process vinny Budano.................

I also treated myself to some shaft mounted self aligning rocker arms.........Dont worry Vinny you and Shifty Shaftiroff will be paying for them too when I start my Civil suit but don't they look perty.............LOL

Heres a picture of the stamped steel roller tip rocker arms that you guys said wouldnt work....Add lash caps and they worked great until my gasoline engine started sounding like a diesel..........

Also too note Vinny Budano it all costed me $2100.00 in total to re-do things the right way between machineshop work and buying new .040" oversize pistons and rings and thats in a different timeframe where prices are alot higher now due to the Ukranian /Russian conflict but guess what Its not even going to take 4 weeks to re-do...LOL

Oh and when you see the bill dont worry about the tax Vinny...I used the business on this one and filled out a tax form......LOL

I asked the guy at ACE Crankshaft where I got my machine work done how much he would of charged me to prep my Ford 351 Windsor block to be made into a 408 Windsor w/ 4"stroker kit neutral balance 10.5:1 compression assembled and dynoed and he said he would of charged me $4100.00 back then at that time and it would of taken them only 2 weeks too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..He said to do the same process now is only $400.00 more...

As you can see from the pictures Vinny and the dates on them Im not blowing smoke like you guys do....Im gonna build this engine every night after work in way less than 12weeks and lesser than 4 weeks too....

I can guarantee you that fact Vinny Budano...Are you surprised I actually have the tools to complete the tasks too?....I told you Vinny Im quite capable but now I have to do things myself if I want them done right and you idiots are gonna get a lesson in rebuilding a Ford 351w into now a 410w by someone who knows squat about Fords...........LOL

I can definately do what I say I can do and I can back it up quite well..I asked you nicely to be kept in the loop Vinny and you took that as dealing with an idiot.....When people cant call and say we got your crank kit being done and clearances planned for the bearings etc they definately have something to hide....

Look in the mirror Vinny Budano;-, you're a lying sack of schitt and you know it...Thats probably why youre not still married to the mother of your kids....LOL...You're the idiot and whats idiotic is how Scott Shafiroff has your back and he knows you're wrong but believes in you keeping the trouble down..........You must have something really dirty and juicy on him to have that kind of power which is pretty weak in my eye.....LOL

You guys should of just built me up a 460 SHP shortblock and swapped it out for what you built me...It would of been alot cheaper than what this whole fiasco is gonna cost you guys in time effort and lawyers oh and then repayment to me.....

I have plenty of time to waste your time then make you guys my b***h..Can't you see!!!!!!..LOL

Dont make me put a mechanics lien on your racecar trailer Vinny............Cause I will and when youre using it I'll report it stolen to get it legally...!!

It turns out that I'm not as big of an idiot as you are and when we get to court you and Scott are gonna learn that the hard way........LOL

ANYONE LOOKING FOR TOP NOTCH MACHINE SHOP ENGINE SERVICE GO TO ACE Crankshaft DeerPark ,NY! 

STAY AWAY FROM SCOTT SHAFIROFF Enterprises INC. 35A Davinci Drive Bohemia NY 11714!!!.. HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE A DBA or a LICENSE TO OFFER REBUILDING SERVICES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott Shafiroff Enterprises Overcharges,double charges and charges for stuff they didnt do and gives you stuff you didnt approve ot ask for....!!!!!!  Beware Scott Shafiroff and Vinny Budano are scam artists!!!!!!!

I bet right about now youre saying if he bought an engine from Prestige then why did he go through all of this trouble and extra expense....The answer is..."To teach you a lesson that you cant tell lies and screw people over forever..!"

Vinny Budano: You giant sack of dog turds....Le me tell you something....Im not the kind of guy that keeps running an engine after noises are heard...Ive built many engines and worked on many cars and seen many problems..

You guys didnt bore and hone my cylinders correctly for my 4032 alloy pistons. You guys also overtightened 5 out of 8 rods stretching them where they had to have new ARP rod bolts and also have the 5 rods resized...!

You idiots at Scott Shafiroff Racing Enterprises are JOKES and also CROOKS..!! The facts will show in court in April 26.Wait til you see how I really operate...I had to get through the kangaroo court mediation process to stick it to you idiots in the way it needs to be done.

I hope you guys applied for that DBA to do rebuilds legally but like I stated that DBA license will be taken back your application fee will be refunded and you wont be able to do rebuild services legally anymore ever!!!!...Wait til the taxman visits too!!!!...........LOL

Heres a lil video of an audio file I plan on bringing to court..I also have all the emails that make you look like a giant weasel also a huge fat liar!!!!!!!!!! Once we've established you cant tell the truth not even to the BBB the case will be a slam dunk for me......LOL

Look at your answers to the BBB Vinny.....Look at the one next to the blue highlight....

https://i.postimg.cc/hjffHNy1/Screenshot-2020-11-05-181800-LI.jpg

Now listen to this response from a technician from Comp Cams the day I was doing research and coming up with a soild street driven power package...I just didnt buy the parts willy nilly I placed many hours on the phone...!!!!!!!!

https://vimeo.com/690784487

Now look at this highlighted area where you state the manufacturer recommended against a windage tray....Im gonna send that response to Canton and see if they stated those facts,,,,,LOL

Anyways no matter what you say Vinny Budano Im the customer and Im the one who requested the windage tray and also Vinny I took the time to find the right windage tray that works with stroker cranks also stock oilpans and I also furnished the bolt numbers...The problem is you are a joke Vinny and you simply didnt give me what I requested and in no time up until I realized there wasnt NO WINDAGE TRAY installed when I put a camera through the oilpan hole after I got the engine home!!!!Oilpans dont have windows and you know it Vinny and at no time was a picture taken and sent to me of the borromend and no clearances were furnished..

I asked respectfully to be kept in the loop and you spit in my face....Im gonna do more than that to you Vinny!!!!..Im sure you idiots are feeling the sting already!!!!!

https://i.postimg.cc/JhhNz6YG/Screenshot-2020-11-05-181800-LIi.jpg

See thees emeils Vinny....?...Look at the dates......The engine was finished 2 1/2 months later....You said nothing....If you did bring your proof....Dont try lying and say you called me because like you stated Im a hard guy to get ahold of but yet I wasnt and I sent out more than a dozen emails in 3 months too...........LOL

Look at this email Vinny Budano and also look at the desired horsepower....How was I surprised at how much power my engine made....I phucking designed it you idiot!!!!!!!!!!

https://i.postimg.cc/J464WpXT/Screenshot-2020-10-01-161330.jpg

Heres the follow-up email you sent in response Vinny.....

https://i.postimg.cc/G2VVQsTx/Screenshot-2020-10-01-161439.jpg

Then I sent another email about the ARP bolts for the Windage tray....After that day I heard crickets about the windage tray!!!!!

https://i.postimg.cc/mk4NBbvG/Screenshot-2020-10-01-161526.jpg

Then you state in this response to the BBB that my bellhousing check was with-in industry standards of .010"

https://i.postimg.cc/W10ZbR7N/Screenshot-2020-11-05-181846.png

In my email I asked you to open the pdf file print the sheet and also follow the specs in the warranty clause which is .005" ..Here it is in ink written from TREMEC!!!!!

https://i.postimg.cc/59HSdRD0/Screenshot-2020-11-05-135937.png

Youre sunk Vinny!!!! It shows you didnt care about me as a customer seeings I brought a Ford engine...An engine you idiots competed against for 40 years!!!!!!!!!

https://i.postimg.cc/B6ptP483/Screenshot-2020-10-01-161609.jpg

These facts cant be refutted and it will be all I need to make you look like a crook besides the new invoice for the chatges it took to rebuild my bottomend the right way and you and Scott are gonna pay for it Vinny!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember when Scott said he was personally involved in my build......LOL....It isnt gonna look good for hime either.......LOL

I think you better show this to Mr Posner because hes under the impression you and Scott are stand-up guys that did an awesome job.....Why are you guys gonna drag an old guy like Mr Posner through the mud? Thats cruel dudes!!!

If you look at it from your standpoint the awesome job was awesomely phucking up my engine and charging me double....You and Scott will get your just desserts but they wont be tasting too good............LOL

See you idiots in court on April 26 because I know youre gonna go down with the ship with Scott ...After-all you're family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doofus:

I bet you've been contacted by Mr Posner;-Your inept attorney. Im gonna go out on a wild guess and say he is going to send a letter saying he's not your guy's attorney anymore.......LOL

Vinny let me tell you this is all going to get very very expensive for you guys and then youre gonna have to pay me my $5000.00 too....Remember when I said about lies compounding into bigger lies that get out of control?...

You already know you did wrong by me many many times....You lied to the BBB and you put those lies in writing... When we get to trial you'll see how much differently it all goes for you..

First off theres items requested and emails supplied about those items yet you didnt respond back with your infinite wisdom of why a windage tray wasnt a good choice and when I asked about the guideplates you never told me in the text that you made an executive decision to go with race car roller rockers in a street driven truck.

These are the rockers I bought Vinny!!!!!!...They fit just fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://i.postimg.cc/VkThXmxW/IMG-20220227-163445.jpg

You upsold me rocker arms making a lame excuse my rocker arms wouldnt work with my heads....Did you hear the phone conversation yet with the guy from Comp Cams...If not you will hear it in court.....

https://vimeo.com/689928746

You know what I did to make them work Vinny?...I put LASH CAPS on the valve tips>>>>>>>>>>>>>LOL

Anyways look at the pictures of how clean the inside of the engine is...When the judge sees the emails and the non-communication etc you'll be sunk especially when there will be a repair bill to repair the carnage your ineptness caused..The ineptness of chamferring the bottoms of the cylinders and the ineptness to clearancing the pistons in the bores correctly.

https://i.postimg.cc/bwQn9RMV/IMG-20220315-211232.jpg

I bet when you came to court you saw the truck and parked next to it and you looked underneath...But one thing Vinny...That wasnt the engine you built..That was the old engine that came out of my truck..I did a quick hone and reringed the pistons............LOL

Anyways Vinny I also took the time to put the Comp Cams Valvesprings that match my camshaft in the heads along with the new retainers and 10* locks.Oh and I got myself some new shaft mounted roller rockers and guess whos gonna pay for them.....YOU and SCOTT !!!!!!!!!..The guy who was personally involved in my build and the guy with alzheimers too as it appears he forgot how to chamfer cylinder bases and hone my cylinders to exact tolerances for the alloy of pistons used...........LOL

https://i.postimg.cc/sg9BhgQt/IMG-20220317-193050.jpg

Im sure in my thinking that right about now youre getting angry and youre feeling like youre losing grip....You should of bought the crapbox back....After I get my $5000.00 from small claims court Im gonna enact a civil action too for another $10,000.00..

When the judge sees that from the time I took the engine apart on 3/13/2022 and sees the bottomend has been rebuilt again with new .040" pistons,a crank rebalance with the block honed correctly to piston specs and done in a week the RIGHT WAY by a nobody like me while running a business against the 12 weeks it took your whole professional outfit its not gonna look too good for you guys.....LOL

https://i.postimg.cc/BnXYZbhB/IMG-20220317-192840.jpg

Oh another thing too...I hope you guys went and got a DBA for the rebuilding services but just know its gonna be a short lived one because when the judge sees the DBA was recently filed the reg will be considered null and void and your fee will be refunded and you wont be able to get a DBA registered anymore either.....LOL..Check with your lawyer Mr Posner he will tell you Im 100% right!!!!!

Dam Vinny Budano General Manager of Scott Shafiroff Racing Enterprises INC., its starting to become a real nitemare for you 2 idiots...Isnt it?.....You guys created it when you formulated the lies, so enjoy the outcome......LOL

Then after you think the cactus reaming was over the IRS will be knocking on Scotts Door and maybe padlocking the doors of Shafiroff Racing Enterprises Inc...LOL

Vinny gumbatz.., I warned you in the emails during the 12 weeks of wait therapy you gave me that Im noone to mess with.....

Normally I would of cleaned your clock and let you call the cops on me but this way is a much more enjoyable way to get you back for what you did to me.....

Best part of all is everytime someone puts Shafiroff Racing or Vinny Budano in a google , yahoo,aol or bing searchbox this report pops up too..........LOL Soon Ill be tweeting it across America....As you can see its NOT SLANDER!!!!!!!!Its factual repugnance...

Vinny Budano:

                      It doesnt look to good for you idiots at Shafiroff Racing 35A Davinci Drive Bohemia Ny 11741.

It seems you guys forgot how to properly build quality engines. In all my years the first process I do before boring or honing a cylinder is CHAMFERRING THE BASE!!!!!!!!! Look at the pictures...Does that cylinder bottom look chamferred?

I guess you idiots really stuck it to me but in retrospect its all gonna come back to bite you and the company you work for in a very bad way.

Im gonna take all these carnage pictures and email evidence and Im gonna put stories about your Companys shoddy work up on all of the forums including craigslist......LOL

Wait till you idiots find out how much your lawyer is going to charge bothof you for a Trial De Novo but let me tell you if he tries to get clever and tries to countersue let me tell you that will be the very worst thing you can do as I will win my case and win against your countersuit just like I won against Mr Posners lame motions to dismiss the case in kangaroo court.

Like Ive been saying all along it doesnt matter how many engines you guys sold or built. What matters is how you curently do business and treat your customers and let them know that your in the business of double charging and doing crappy work ..The same work that is gonna be your downfall.

I'll see you idiots in court...A real court...A court where I will get my say and a court that will see past your bullcrap and put you in real perspective..

Look at the pictures Vinny and also look at the pictures of the rollertip rocker arms you swore wouldnt work with my heads....They look like they work just fine enough.............LOL

Like I said let your lawyer see this page...Its called FULL DISCLOSURE of EVERYTHING AGAINST YOU and the ILLIGITIMATE BUSINESS YOUR RUNNING WITHIN YOUR BUSINESS!!!!..You guys have no DBA to be rebuilding engines...You guys can only build and sell BRAND NEW ENGINES!!!!

Due to the upgrade in damage in also going to file a civil suit. Let Mr Posner know...You guys are gonna give me all my money back plus pay for the repairs your shoddy work caused.......

Ill bet you this million dollar scratcher he says you should of settled out of court..............LOL

AUTHOR: CAM2 - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 15, 2022

Hey Vinny Budano..;- Guess what....?.......I had the noise in the bottomend investigated yesterday. Its piston slap.

So today I went down to the courts and I filed for a Trial DeNovo...Let Mr Posner know my representative is mailing the envelopes today and tomorrow I will be finalizing the deal at the courthouse.

It seems you guys cant even get a block bored and finish honed the right way either. The clearance of the bores arent the correct clearances for my 4032 Aluminum Alloy Pistons. Pistons that have a high silicon content. Ones that dont expand like cast or 2618 alloy pistons do and you guys also didnt chamfer the bottoms of my cylinder skirts...Look at the pictures Vinny...The pictures dont lie like you do.

Theyre actually clearanced for the 2618 Alloy pistons.....Watch video and watch how much the piston rocks in the bore...It's quite disgusting getting service like this from a 45year veteran in the industry but then again you guys been dabbling in Ford only a few short years....

Maybe you guys will want to hang up the idea and go into hiding.

Another thing is you put your lies on record with the court and I have the transcript of the court minutes and I must say the lady got you spot on...LOL

Watch this video recording I had made a few days after you told the BBB that the rocker arms wouldnt work. Listen to what the tech at Comp Cams has to say about the roller tip rocker arms and also scroll down you'll see they were installed and were working just dandy in my engine installed on my Edelbrock heads until the shoddy work you guys did installing my rotating assembly stated showing itself.....

https://vimeo.com/688560224

You guys badly screwed up 5 of my cylinders..........Its amazing that theres 3 good ones

So now Im gonna have to amend my lawsuit too as now Im gonna need a new set of .040" oversize pistons also another bore n hone...Roughly another $1500.00...So now Im asking for the maximum of $5000.00 and believe me Im sure your lawyer already told you if this goes to Trial DeNovo youll lose...LOL

Pictures and videos dont LIE like you do Vinny!!!!!!!...I cant wait to see you guys again when we go to trial...This time I get ruthless as this will be the big leagues..I needed you to get into the Kangaroo court and swear to tell the truth,,,Something you couldnt do and still cant and that will be the spike in your coffin..

You should of just admitted your mistake and owned up to being a d****e..Your lawyer is gonna cost you guys a pretty penny to take this to trial now...Either way I will be my satisfaction and you guys will be feeling it........LOL

I would show your lawyer this report and let him read all of it then make a decision based on what he sees...I guarantee he says you guys are wrong and should of made it right as its now gonna cost you guys alot more now..LOL....If your lawyer wants to settle out of court you guys have my phone number. You see the videos and you see the pictures...I hope you guys are proud of yourselves and the way you conducted business with me as this mess still lingers and youre not gonna like the taste nor the smell of the crap you mixed-up to create them............

I also think that Im the guy who paid for the majority of your secretaries Camaro engine....Not the Sponsors like you guys claim and its gonna suck telling your daughter that there will be no racing this year as its not in the budget..............

Today Feb 7,2022 I went to small claims court against Scott Shafiroff/Vinny Budano.It was quite eventful aswell as eyeopening for them...LOL..I bet you guys think you won...I had to find a way for you dolts to make your lies concrete before I sprung the trap...I cant take all the applause..My lawyer helped...LOL

Before we begun the arbitrator said: "Everyone who isnt a lawyer raise your right hands and we all raised our right hands and swore to tell the truth. Well the last part about telling the truth is whats really funny but Ill let it build itself up first before I say why...LOL

Today Scott Shafiroff's and Vinny Budanos lawyer got schooled. A lawyer that looked older than dirt who  doesnt even know the difference between what a Small Claims Case versing what a Commercial Small Claims Case is.....Commercial small claims is business making suit against another business....Im not a business so I filed 100% right......LOL

Then Scott and Vinnys lawyer made a motion stating that Im also sueing individuals of a company and that motion your old n crispy lawyer wasted his time on got thrown out based on the fact that Scott Shafiroff is registered as a new race engine assembler and seller and registered to build and sell NEW ENGINES ONLY!!!.

His business doesnt have a DBA for the rebuild shop and shouldnt be offering rebuild services to the public at all rebuilding engines that have been worn out due to being raced/run prior.

New engine sales ONLY!!..I left that tidbit out so you dolts couldnt apply and make it legit before we got to court..Tell me Vinny ...How'd I do?..It was funny watching you try to act like a tough guy..We will see how tough you look next time we meet....LOL

Then Vinny produced a fake final receipt that reflected sales tax and told the arbitrator another bold-faced lie saying he told me to come pick my final invoice up in a few days yet if you look at the "EMAIL" written by Vinny Budano on Sept 17,2020 it says that " He's gonna swap the intake and "FINALIZE MY BILL" and I can pick the engine also my "FINAL BILL" up on Monday Afternoon.

The keywords in that email are "Finalize YOUR Bill" & "When you pick up the engine Monday afternoon so that email proves the receipt I have is the actual and final bill because Vinny has nothing with my signature on any bills to prove otherwise either....LOL

Contracts for work provided and final invoices need to be SIGNED VINNY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant wait to get the decision and if I somehow miraculously lose the decision Im definately going to appeal.I might even sue the arbitrator and your old & crispy lawyer in a future lawsuit too for representing a crook and knowing it even after being told his client has no DBA the lawyer should of recused himself and left...LOL

I hate to see an old n crispy guy get roasted by the Suffolk Bar Association but sometimes the people who are too old n crispy to do proper thinking other than the money you guys spent on him get what they deserve in the end.

Screenshot-2021-03-26-093201

And then....What happens in court....Vinny lied again...This time after swearing to tell the truth. Theres stenographers in the court Vinny and tomorrow I'm going to the court to purchase the transcript and for some strange reason if the arbitrator finds against me even after knowing you and Scott dont have a proper business DBA in a CORPORATION for Engine Rebuilding Services Im going to appeal and then were gonna go before a REAL JUDGE and when the JUDGE sees you openly lied in small claims court after raising your right hand swearing to tell the truth youll be sunk quick so thanks for the circus and the ammo to easily sink you guys too....

I bet you thought I was unprepared...My lawyer said in order to save money just to go to court let you jerks bury yourselves then if I somehow lose I can appeal and sink you bastards quicker than you can say your own names....LOL

And what I said to you in court before I walked out was "I bet youll wish you opted for the streetfight suggestion"....LOL.

d**n dudes you guys really got old looking from the time we last saw each other..Youre gonna get alot older looking too in a very very short time....LOL

Tomorrow I'm turning you crooks into the business license dept as Scott admitted to doing business 45years and didnt have a dba for the engine rebuilder part of the business..Thats gonna add up big with that admission aswell as a healthy AUDIT!!!!!!!.....LOL

Watch how this is all gonna turn against you..My gransma used to say that lies compound that compound lies eventually come to light and in this situation my dad was definately looking down upon me and helped guide me to understand what happened and what was said and the proof I have that contradicts it all.......Did ya like what I was saying in court how come you didnt answer the question about how many Ford engines built?...How come you didnt answer?

Your only recourse wass buying back that engine. Its in my shed sitting on blocks...

How does it feel knowing how illigitimate you guys really are...The tax man is really gonna dig into Scott too because two seperate businesses run out of a single location is extra income for the tax man.. Tax money the taxman didnt get since 2008.........Thats gonna be a huge nut to swallow when it has to be paid...Yeah boy..

I gave you the option in an email...I guess what I demanded in my demand letter didnt seem reasonable but suddenly it will sound very reasonable when compared to the giant heaping/helping of trouble with extra cheese thats headed your way.....Trouble YOUR lawyer and the Arbitrator both revealed about your crooked company in the beginning of the session... Words that went on RECORD!!!...LOL

You'll get to meet my lawyer if it comes to it too...When you see how he operates you'll wish you hired him first....LOL

When I called my lawyer after court and told him what went on he was like are you serious?.. I said yep and swore about every word that was said...He said" Swoosh or Swish" also to keep an eye out for the determination letter before he said he had to go in a very happy tone.....

I guess that means something extra goods going to happen for me if it goes the hard way...LOL

The way I see it is this Vinny...You guys have no rebuilders license with no DBA Stating Engine Rebuilding Either. Thats a huge Issue Scott and Vinny!!. If you didnt offer rebuilding services on your website I wouldnt of chosen you at all but I did and the day of reconing is coming for those who try to fool me by telling me its raining when theyre really pissing on my boot.........

I now rescind my demand too as I feel Im going to get my whole $7800.00 back based on the facts youre NOT A LEGAL ENGINE REBUILDER ;-YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS LICENSE or a DBA to do so for the public.

Do me a favor...Print this page and send it to your lawyer...Like I said before..."A lawyer has to represent legitimate clients that are legal...You guys arent legal or legitimate so now your lawyer is gonna pay for causing me grief too..............

Suffolk County Bar Association is the next entity I commerce with........

UPDATE,UPDATE,UPDATE..!!!!!!!!!!! The laughs keep on coming but its not funny for Scott Shafiroff..This is the latest and very pathetic email I got from the President himself!!! GEE WIZ!!

AUTHOR: Smoked - (United States)

POSTED: Friday, November 20, 2020

4 days ago I received an email from Mr Scott Shafiroff himself........Boy was I shocked to say the least and very entertained to say the most. 

It seems that now Shafiroff racing Engines wants to try n make things right...Heres my reasons why its such a bad idea letting guys with over 45 years experience who phucked-up my engine every which way to sunday try n fix the problems they created due to extreme ineptness.

When theres trouble with your MickeyD's or BK order forcing you to complain and demand another chances are the preparer will give you a lil hocktooey sauce or rub the bun in some dirt to go with that replacement aswell.......

Do these guys think Im that stupid...Do they think Im gonna let them finish me off by maybe putting some cobalt shavings or loosen some rod bolts so they kick through the block?

Come'on Scott Shafiroff lets be real. If you guys would of did the right thing we would of never been here better yet heres a kick in the nuts for you Scott...Read my emails to Vinny especially where I ask for tall valvecovers w/breather holes over 1 month before the engine was ever finished or dynoed.....

Had your General Manager Vinny Budano not been so phucking lazy the valvetrain would of never been seen through the valvecovers but believe me I still would of had a huge issue with the bellhousing alignment check which wasnt done right and not done according to the transmission dealer and the specifics pertaining to their warranty. 

Now lets get to your email.....Wow did you have to think long to write that? Did you really think that Id want to sit in the same space as you and not want to say rude things about your business and the non-capabilities of your inept employees......?

Other than giving me back a fair share of my money back that you ripped me off of theres nothing else that can be done..The BBB The NY State Attorney General and the IRS are gonna put the hurt you guys then Im gonna finish it with court dates in small claims court........

When the judge sees a company with over 45 years experience cant even build a simple engine correctly and cant even fulfill the customers wants and needs or give me a courtesy call about parts etc...

Speaking of parts...When the quote was drawn up it was drawn up in pencil..There was no plan of atack written or parts in detail described with a realtime quote...Then I was told 6 grand and charged $7800...

If you guys needed my money that badly I couldve given you guys a hard luck loan because the money I was overcharged and ripped off for is gonna cost you some steep juice and possibly put you guys in bankruptcy..........

The time for meeting me in a friendly way is way over. Taking 12 weeks to build a simple engine just tells me I wasnt a priority nor was I considered a viable customer......

I guess you phuckwads in over 45 years have never heard of business ethics but now its too late you finally will and wished you had known about and utilized some before messing with me............

Im sure you read the emails and Im sure you saw where I asked Vinny nicely to accomodate my requests and he took that as me being some lil bi*ch..The only lil bi*ch is Vinny;-In fact hes one big giant bi*ch......

I know Vinnys family to you Scott but Vinny Budano isnt General manager material............Maybe foreman of the shipping is a better fitment for him.......

The new number is now $4100.00. After buying the things needed to make my engine to suit my expectations also fix the valve geometry issues and get the engine dyno'd the right way and get real actual dyno numbers..Ill bring the new dyno sheet to court Scott...Bring the one Vinny gave me and you'll see what a real dyno sheet is supposed to look like for a low rpm high torque engine.........

They started recording the data on the pull at 1400 rpm's Scott..........What did your guy start recording the pull at;-3900 rpm's?????????? Gee dude that really told me alot.............Youre a joke;- so is your organization and all of your employees...Plain and simple......

Your rebuttal to the BBB complaint was to say the least...Hilarious...

Are you that stupid or oblivious to the real facts and the real truth...Pictures dont lie Vinny Budano General Manager of Shafiroff Racing Engines 35A Davinci drive Bohemia ny 11716

As if all the years you hid money from the taxman to keep your racing career alive while maintaining a 335,000 home with a wife n kids in Syossett wasnt draining enough you had an expensive drag racing car and went around to numerous tracks to race this car that was valued in excess of 150,000.00..How can this be your life story on how you grew up is on the net..

You and your brother had no silver spoons in your mouths so......Anyways talking about you as a person is a moot point until you make the news for tax evasion but let me tell you your answers dont hold any weight against the pile of doodoo you call for a brain.

When the BBB gets my rejection and all my picture proof emails and texts youre gonna be sunk..

You stated I wouldnt answer my phone or let you make it straight...YOU LIE....I sent you a video and you said just run it and we built you a good motor...Motors are electric ya moron!!!Theyre actually called engines!!!.LOL

And it wasnt until I mentioned the BBB IRS Tax evasion and the Attorney general aswell as dept of consumer affairs you started calling me to rectify the problem which was way too late..You said your piece and you got your results due to your your insulence......

Now were at this point with you in a corner like a trapped rat..How come ya avoided the tax evasion statement I made and said I slandered you on social media....How did I slander you???You stereotyped and discriminated against me plain and simple plus you violated business ethics and the law!!!!

Look at the pictures..Tell me how etrociously dirty my engine block was when I brought it to you...Believe me I take and took PLENTY OF PICTURES!!!!! Pictures that doesnt make you look good in any light.....

I dont want just 3 grand back now...I want the whole $7800.00 and Im gonna get it...Winning the BBB case is gonna be the stepping stone to taking you into small claims commercial court for $5 grand and your boss too.....Ill get my money then Im gonna get you for angst etc.....Im not done with you guys yet...LOL

I told you that you guys have no clue as to who youre messing with....Im sure now youre getting a clue but still probably feel youre a better man than me...Its really too late to fix it though and you're not!!!!...LOL..LOL

Study the pictures and the emails Vinny because this is everything the BBB has...When I sent those vague triple sets of pics in the original complaint you probably thought that was all I had for proof against you.....

Wrong again ya big dummy..... I never show all my cards until the end and you'll soon realize this and also regret it too and you cant say you werent warned either re-read all the texts and the emails,,,Theyre 100% genuine,,,LOL

Remember the part where I mentioned putting you on Ripoff Report if you messed with me??????????....I wasnt kidding....You're a worldwide celebrity now Vinny Budano General Manager of Shafiroff Racing engines 35a Davinci dr Bohemia Ny 11716 ........LOL....LOL.....LOL....LOL

Enjoy the pictures and the stories you call slander...Photographic proof justifies the statements 100%.....LOL

See ya in commercial small claims court next Vinny...Bring plenty of backup with you and also bring your guy with 50 years experience yet Shafiroff only existed 45yrs but anyways I wanna call him a joke to his face while I read the PDF on my TREMEC TRANSMISSION to him on how to do the process..You and your guy with 50yrs experience with manual transmissions should of read the pdf Vinny printed the page and did the s**t right !!!!!!!!!!

Vinny Budano General Manager of Scott Shafiroff Racing Engines 35a Davinci Dr Bohemia Ny 11716;-You're a JOKE!!!!!Everything you done on the track and your accomplishments arent worth anything when others see how much of a cheat you are............

Look at the pics Vinny....Look at the pics.............

How can you put sparkplugs in aluminum heads without using any anti-seize?

How can you put a Racing only oil filter on a Street engine???

How come that engine block looks so clean you can eat off of it?

How come the 8.250" pushrods you installed has 3 different part #'s??

How come the valvetrain geometry is indeed off and how come an idiot like me could spot such a thing?...Maybe Im not so much an idiot am I?.....LOL

Then you say you built me a good motor...You built me junk...I built myself what a $7800.00 engine should really look like....LOL

You didnt really read my emails if you did all my questions would of been answered and parts I asked for put into my engine and I also would of been sconsulted when changing parts..I got no call just like I got no formal quote nor did I sign the quote either........

You have no leg to stand on and Im now seeking the whole $7800.00 from you Vinny so expect a subpeona for commercial claims court that has a max limit of $5000.00....Youll be named too so youre liable....

Besides from being charged for a bellhousing alignment check that was nt done I was going through the boxes and I also noticed theres other parts that werent installed and was told they were.

I gave Shafiroff racing 35A Davinci Drive Bohemia NY 11716 too much credit when I stated that they replaced the valvesprings in the heads..In FACT they DID NOT change the valvesprings like I asked.

In my experience with budget heads is that things like the springs and sometimes the way the heads were setup arent optimal and to get the best bang for your buck the heads must be disassembled and checked also the valvesprings and the locks replaced so I anticipated this and bought a camshaft kit that had everything including the correct pressure valvesprings for my camshaft..

I was told the springs were changed. "VINNY BUDANO YOU'RE A LYING SACK OF SCHITT"and you're soon gonna pay for trying to give me a cactus you dumphuck..

I told you I was very adept to building engines..I also told you built my first 521 Dinosaur engine from PAW at 14yrs old azzhole.I built it I didnt just assemble it!!!!!...Heres a lil tidbit too not only was my dad in the machine shop industry but my mom was a fuselage and wiring inspector for the aerospace industry and I notice things that oridinary dumasses would never catch onto but like I said Vinny Budano General manager of Shafiroff Racing 35A Davinci Drive Bohemia NY 11716 Im a different breed of person . I used to work for a Dept of Defense sub-contractor building firing solution boxes for the Apache helicopter until from 1999 til 2002.......I also have a degree in engineering............LOL

Im glad you read the book by the cover instead of trying to get to know me like typical salesmen do to get the upperhand and smokescreen the rube youre trying to rob in a freindly way and never have any kind of backlash either so you can get a feel on how to manipulate your customers but you took the look of the POS FORD pickup I was driving and the ratty ripped-up blue jeans plus faded backwards ballcap and automatically thought your intelligence is way above mine cooked-up in a hypothetical theory in your shriveled mind bro like I was some dumbass and you had me pegged for one..I told you my IQ is 175 mo...But you'll soon find out that was years ago and its since gotten alot higher...........LOL

In other words Vinny Budano of Shafiroff Racing 35A Davinci Drive...YOU FUGGED UP BIGTIME>>>LOL

Check the pictures...I take pics of all the stuff I buy to gauge against the finished product. Look at the picture of the first day I unboxed the heads...Look at the color of the valvesprings....Theyre black steel.........

Now look at the pictures of the valvesprings that came in the Comp Cams camshaft kit I paid $405.00 for from Summit..If I didnt need the valvesprings I would of bought just a camshaft and lifter kit plus a cloyes double roller t-chain but I told you I didnt trust the springs in the budget heads and besides VINNY BUDANO I WAS CHARGED $2850.00 and in that service those heads should of been disassembled , verified and reassembled with the new valvesprings ,steel retainers,locks and oil seals as this is a PUMP GAS STREET ENGINE stupid a*s!!!!

NONE OF THAT WAS DONE OR INSTALLED!!!!!!!! CHECK THE PICS>>>THE PICS DONT LIE LIKE YOU DO VINNY BUDANO general manager of SCOTT SHAFIROFF RACING 35A Davinci Dr Bohemia NY 11716..

The NYS Attorney general and the BBB will soon be contacting you and your boss Scott Shafiroff the master of tax evasion aswell as the TAX MAN with his KY and his microscope....

AUTHOR: Happy - (United States)

Never again will I put my trust in any engine rebuilding company no matter the level or professionalism and no matter how many engines theyve built.

Just like a great athlete who was once a somebody in their lifetime they eventually lose that luster and eventually fall off then they die or they retire...This is true for everything in life although there are exceptions to the rule for this situation its entirely true.

You have a compant that until recently has built only Chevy based engines and recently started dabbling in Ford to pull in the rubes like me and really stick it to the Ford guys by not only lying to them about 4 weeks rebuild time they also build them a sub par engine thats very overpriced aswell as double priced then theres items on my bill rementioned to make what they did look like they put alot of time and effort into my engine build..............

I called Shafiroff and Vinny Budano on 6/15/2020 at around 9:30am and asked about their rebuild service how busy they were and turn around time to punch a 351w into a 408..I was told they werent very busy bring the engine down and it will be 4 weeks so I brought my Ford 351w truck engine to Shafiroff on 6/15/2020 at around 1:30pm. The engine was already missing the heads intake manifold and pushrods so it wasnt even a full engine disassembly nor did any of the older parts other than the oilpump pickup that needed to be cleaned as the rest was trash other than the block and maincaps.

I also brought a Comp Cams camshaft kit complete with springs,t-chain lifters and camshaft also Comp cams magnum rollertip rocker arms with hardened pushrods Edelbrock E-Street heads Powerbond SFI balancer neutral balance for the Scat 408 Stroker crank assembly that comes complete with crank, rods, rod and crank bearings plus an ATI Pointer.

I told Vinny Budano I wanted a windage tray installed.I did research and found the Canton 923P was the one I needed and when Vinny asked in an email I sent him the part # plus the part # of the bolts Canton rebrands as their own but I never recieved the item installed in my engine.

Then 4 weeks goes by and not a peep.I call after 6 weeks and got a we got held up on some stuff and its in process....8 weeks goes by and nothing then one day I get a picture of the engine sitting wide open in a hall saying the dyno guy is learning the software and that my engine will be dyno'd monday.

During this all Vinny Budano decided that my street friendly rollertip rockers werent a fit befitting to his eye and put them in the box and installed a $600.00 set of full race roller rocker arms that wont even last 50k miles in my engine...Then after I complain he says we built me a good engine and it made good power meanwhile when I asked the results I got "It ran well"so now that raises a question if the dyno results are really mine or are they really accurate..

Then I paid to have my bellhousing alignment checked for runout because its a requirement for my warranty on my $5k transmission. I even sent him an email stating page 10 needs to be printed and filled out too when the alignment check was done....I was told verbally that my runout was .010" and never printed the paper or put the measurements so I had to do the process myself and got a totally different number than the .010" I was told.......My bellhousing alignment was almost dead nuts perfect and my warranty states that my bellhousing would need to be adjusted with offset dowels which I also supplied but none of the actual measurements were done by Vinnys guy Charlie..........

This is where Shafiroff tries to take advantage of the seemingly stupid and unknowledgeable people because if they were theyd do it themselves right....;- Wrong!! He charged me $125 for the service my time is worth 7 times that so having someone else do the process is saving me money aswell as time but saved me squat.

Then after I was getting alignment numbers my cousin who was spinning the engine for me notices the roller isnt centered on the valvetip....He was actually looking at the crookedness in which the guideplates were installed but I noticed the rollers werent laterally on the center of the valvetip and not resting on the widest part...I did a check and my valve geometry was off my .100" which would of prematurely worn out my valveguides in the $1000.00 heads I bought for the engine...

When I brought this up to Vinny he said "We built you a really good engine".....Heres the pictures below...You be the judge...Was it worth $7800.00..?????

Speaking of $7800 and my statement about Shafiroff being a crook...Its 100% true and if you want proof look at the receipt...I left the address because I dont live there or am I associated with the address..Vinny tells me out of being sorry for taking so long he saved me a lil money on the tax so dont get antsy if I see the wrong address on the final bill...I didnt agree with what he did but the gov't didnt ever do anything nice for me so 2.75% wasnt a big deal until I added up all the charges............

The total charges les taxes comes out to the end result dollar for dollar..........Wheres the tax......?

I paid cash.........You put a spin on where that cash went and how my cash was reported to the IRS....My spin is it went into the secret company box for this weekends racing expenses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One things for sure is I hope they have a blast because the fun definately isnt gonna last and I doubt Vinnys job will either.....LOL
